The construction of two‑classroom blocks and toilet facilities destroyed by termite infestation in 2013 at Ba Provincial Free Bird Institute has been completed.
The Government of Japan provided $151,640 for the project.
Classes were being held in the dining hall, library and computer room to cater for its large number of students.
The lack of proper toilet facilities also resulted in male students using the teachers’ toilets and female students using the toilets located in the girls’ dormitory.
The Embassy of Japan committed to provide funding assistance under Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects Programme for the construction of two classroom blocks equipped with new desks and chairs and a four stall toilet block at the school.
Japan’s Ambassador to Fiji Takuji Hanatani will hand over the new facilities on Thursday.
