Extension work on Faqeer Middle School to be completed by September 2020

Construction work of China-Pakistan Gwadar Faqeer Middle School is in full swing and expected to be completed in a period of less than a year. “We are promoting the extension project of Faqeer Middle School in accordance with the construction plan.” said Tan Jianyun, Project Manager of Operations Department of Faqeer Middle School.

Presently, nearly half of the construction work of the school has been completed, and it is expected to be completed by September next, reports Gwadar Pro mobile news APP.

It is said that the extension project of China-Pakistan Gwadar Faqeer Middle School is funded by China Foundation for Peace and Development and constructed by China Communications Construction Company Limited. What’s more, Gwadar Development Authority is responsible for monitoring the quality and procedure of the construction. The scale of the extension is the same as that of Phase I, including nine classrooms and other supporting facilities such as electricity and lighting and places for outdoor activities.

Principal Amjad Basham extended his gratitude to Chinese government for its promoting reforms of local education and providing education for younger generation in his talk with the reporter.

He said that children had to travel a long distance to school because of the local backward economy. Nowadays, children can receive qualified education near their home because of the strong support of Chinese government.

It is known that people sent their children to Faqeer Middle School one after another because the school boasted high-end infrastructure, advanced teaching theories and diversified subjects and satisfies local educational need. When the school was constructed, it was planned to hold 150 students, but now it has over 600 students.

Many students couldn’t study in classrooms due to the lack of classrooms. They had to study in the playground. Therefore, in accordance with request of local government and people, China Foundation for Peace and Development funded the extension project of Faqeer Middle School.

“The extension of the middle school will be another milestone that marked the filling of the void of local education.”

Amjad Basham said that the extension was a great project which relieved the local educational pressure and was bound to increase the proportion of educated people and pave the way for further local development. It is known that local parents and teachers looked forward to the extension of the school and they lent a hand to the construction of it one after another.
