Companies to build 900 classrooms by 2020-2021 academic year under PPP program

Private companies working with the government on the public-private partnership program to build 1,000 new schools will complete phase one — approximately 900 classrooms — by the start of the next academic year, sources said, according to the local press. It’s not clear how many schools will be finished in this period, but sources say that the companies have started to receive land plots for 50 schools. The contracts — worth EGP 500 mn — were awarded in January.
