Modernization of the infrastructure education is the highlight of priorities,” said Manastirliu.

The reconstruction of the school has improved the physical infrastructure, as well as equipped the school with new laboratories for IT, chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as a gym and modern sports grounds.

“For 2024 alone, together with our partners through government and municipal funds we plan to rehabilitate about 100 schools and open 40 construction sites through the school rehabilitation program, part of the 2024 budget of the Ministry of Education and Sports,” Manastirliu said.
Meanwhile, through the “EU4School” program, investments have been made in 18 different educational facilities in the Durrës district and in 64 throughout Albania.
