Over €18 million will be spent this year on projects related to government school grounds.
The works are varied and will be done in different parts of the islands. Schools in Pembroke, Rabat, Cospicua, Naxxar, Birkirkara and Victoria are the biggest projects for this year – each surpassing €1 million in investment.
While inaugurating a €900,000 kindergarten project in San Ġwann, Education Minister Evarist Bartolo said that better school environments lead to more motivated staff and safer surroundings for children.
