The statement said that the extensive renovation and infrastructure enhancement project underscores the institution’s belief in the transformative power of education as a key driver for national development.

“The intervention at Chwelnyap Primary School featured a wide-ranging scope of work designed to foster a holistic learning environment. The project included the full renovation of Block B, comprising a three-classroom structure and two offices; the Headmaster’s office and a staff room, both of which were upgraded as part of the expanded project scope.

“Each classroom was fitted with brand-new furniture, with 20 desks and chairs per class, accommodating up to 40 students in each room. In total, the furniture provision caters to 120 students, promoting a more conducive and engaging learning experience.
