THE government has provided Bagamoyo District Council in Coast Region with 660m/- for the construction of 33 classrooms in secondary schools.
Council’s Chairman Mr Mohammed Usinga said at the council’s meeting held on Tuesday in Bagamoyo Town that the project is meant to ensure that all students selected to join secondary schools do so without any obstructions next January.
Mr Usinga said that the implementation of the project is going on well and that the work is expected to be completed before January next year.
“Our government is working hard to ensure that our children get good education in friendly environment. Our responsibility is to make sure that this money is well spent,” he noted.
He insisted that the council will supervise the ongoing project closely, so as to come up with better results.
During the meeting, the council also launched the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) system, in all its meetings and daily routines.
