Corporate Area students better off from $90-million investment

Three schools yesterday highlighted what they deemed significant improvements in the teaching and learning environment, thanks to the more than $90 million worth of investments provided mainly through the European Union (EU).
The Corporate Area-based Jones Town Church of God Basic, Regent Street Seventh-Day Adventist Basic, and the Constant Spring Primary and Junior High schools received new classrooms, bathrooms, and perimeter fencing, among other things.
Ambassador Malgorzata Wasilewska, head of the EU Delegation in Jamaica, who toured the schools yesterday, emphasised that creating an enabling environment for learning was important to poverty reduction - the area under which the projects fell.
