“The point must be made that though this is a civil work project, it is an investment in education.”

He said the current administration had moved to address the infrastructure gap in the country.

“The gap of our infrastructure needs is steadily being bridged by a gradual process of repairs, renewal, and construction on major highways. This has reached the schools.

“Without doubt the quality of education will be impacted by the quality of infrastructure and the learning environment.

“Those who doubt it should simply listen to some feedback from students in the schools where this type of intervention has taken place,” the minister added.
