10th February, 2021 Students of Nuku’alofa Government Primary School celebrated the opening of three renovated classroom buildings funded by the Pacific Resilience Program (PREP), a project managed under the Ministry of MEIDECC (Meteorology, Energy, Information, Disaster Management, Environment, Climate Change and Communications).
The buildings have 12 classrooms which will provide over 350 students with a more comfortable learning environment.
Mrs Natalia Lātū said, “Investing in quality education through climate resilient classrooms is important, not only from a safety perspective but also from an economic and long term financial perspective.”
She noted that GPS Nuku’alofa is one of the five schools renovated under the PREP where the “substructure was sufficiently robust, to allow the existing buildings to be retrofitted and structurally strengthened”.
