The Democratic Republic of Congo is making strides towards enhancing the quality of education with the construction of new school infrastructure, thanks to a successful partnership between the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST), the Korean Agency of International Cooperation (KOICA), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Valued at $7.2 million, this extensive project is geared towards transforming the learning environment for over 52,000 students in 108 schools in Kinshasa, aiming to bolster access to primary education.
The unveiling of these modern school facilities marks a crucial milestone in the country’s education sector. Equipped with new classrooms, multipurpose rooms, administrative offices, latrines, and water points, these infrastructures are envisioned to provide a conducive learning atmosphere for the intellectual and social growth of children. UNICEF’s Deputy Representative in the DRC, Katya MARINO, highlights the significance of this initiative for vulnerable children, especially the 2,000 displaced children from Kwamouth who will benefit from this enhanced educational system.
This collaborative effort between the Congolese government, KOICA, and UNICEF exemplifies a successful partnership dedicated to advancing education in the DRC. Promoting access to quality education is a fundamental right for every child, with these newly constructed school infrastructures set to reduce education disparities and secure a brighter future for the younger generation.
Investing in education, as demonstrated by this project, not only enriches the present but also paves the way for a more enlightened future generation equipped to contribute to their country’s development. The construction of these new school facilities underlines the vital role of education in socioeconomic progress, emphasizing that every child, irrespective of their background or circumstances, deserves a quality education.
