Five schools in the Dodecanese have been included in the second phase of the Marietta Giannakou school building refurbishment programme by a decision of the infrastructure and transport minister.
Dodecanese MP Manos Konsolas had called for schools from the islands to be included in the programme in a parliamentary intervention two months earlier.
The schools are Soroni Lower Secondary School on Rhodes, Kos 2nd Primary School, Agia Marina Primary School on Leros, the building housing the lower secondary school and upper secondary classes on Kasos, and Chalki Primary School.
The works will be carried out by Building Infrastructure SA, KtYP. They include painting internal and external walls, building and renovating toilets, including accessible facilities, installing a wheelchair-accessible ramp, constructing and improving sports areas, and insulating flat roofs or repairing tiled roofs.
Work at these schools is scheduled for the summer so that the facilities will be fully operational at the start of the school year.
Konsolas had specifically requested the inclusion of Dodecanese schools in the second phase of the Marietta Giannakou school renovation programme.
