Gambia: Bureng School Construction Delay

The construction of a nine classroom block at Bureng Upper Basic School has been delayed due to late disbursement of funds from the European Commission (EC), said the Secretary of State for Basic and Secondary Education, Fatou Lamin Faye.

Mrs. Faye made this statement at the National Assembly recently while responding to a question from the member for Jarra East Ba Faye Saidykhan who asked why the construction of a Senior Secondary School at Bureng village in Jarra East is still at a standstill. The Secretary of State said their records show that no senior secondary school is being constructed at Bureng. She said in 2004, the Department of State for Basic and Secondary Education started the construction of a 9 classroom block at the Bureng Upper Basic School through support from the European Commission in a bid to provide additional space".
