Janevska: Educational infrastructure in Bitola is advancing with government investments of more than 7 million euros

A broad cycle of investments in education is being implemented in Bitola with the support of the Government and the Ministry of Education and Science, Minister Vesna Janevska emphasized during an inspection of the works in the Bukovski Livadi neighborhood.

According to her, the Government is continuing to invest heavily in improving educational infrastructure, with the aim of ensuring that every student, regardless of where they live, has equal opportunities for quality education.

In this neighborhood, work is under way to adapt a facility that by the end of the year will be put into operation as a new branch school of Kole Kaninski Primary School. The investment is worth 31 million denars and is being carried out by the local self-government with Government support. The works were inspected today by Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, Minister of Education and Science Vesna Janevska, and the Mayor of Bitola, Toni Konjanovski.

“Congratulations on this important investment by the Municipality of Bitola, carried out with Government support. It is important to build where there is a real need, to improve educational infrastructure, and to create conditions for quality education everywhere. With the adaptation of this facility, which will have five classrooms, a library, and sanitary facilities, including for students with special educational needs, children from the Bukovski Livadi neighborhood will be able to complete their primary education in their own place of residence, instead of traveling every day to other areas. In this way, we save them time and enable them to devote themselves more to their studies and achieve even better results,” Janevska said.

She underlined that this project represents only one segment of the important investments being carried out in Bitola with the support of central institutions.

“The municipality is not alone in its efforts for better education. Funds have been secured for around 15 infrastructure investments. The Ministry has already completed the reconstruction of the sports hall at Elpida Karamandi Primary School, one of three new school sports halls is under construction, the construction of seven school sports fields is being finalized, four schools will be reconstructed, while the reconstruction of the Koço Racin student dormitory will begin next year. This is an investment cycle worth more than 450 million denars, that is, more than 7 million euros, which will significantly improve conditions for education and sports in Bitola,” Janevska stressed.
