“The construction of the new building will change the students’ futures. Equipping the school with enough desks and computers will provide them all with the same level of education,”said Fatima Fouad Khaled, an instructor at the The Public Technical School in #Berqayel. “The students couldn’t be more excited,” she added.
The school lacks sufficient space, equipment, and sanitation to provide its students with a healthy academic environment. Even under these conditions, the demand for enrollment and taught courses remains much higher than the current capacity of the school. While there are 470 enrolled students today, the completion of the new building will allow 400 additional students to join.
The construction of a new school building and the provision of equipment to the school, through funds from German Embassy Beirut KfW within the framework of the Lebanon Host Communities Support Programme #LHSP, will soon improve the quality of education for current students. This project will also allow new students from Berqayel and neighboring villages to join. #UNDP #MoSA
Celebrating 50 years of UNDP worldwide and 20 years of UNDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Sarajevo, Vilsonovo šetalište.
Although the historic city of Famagusta existed since Hellenistic and Byzantine times, many of its architectural treasures suffered from deterioration over time.
The Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage was able to bring Famagusta at the center of their work since 2014 when conservation works to the Othello Tower started.
The support to the revitalization of the walled city of Famagusta continues with conservation works to the Martinengo Bastion, Ravelin/Land Gate, and the city-side portion of the Walls between Arsenal and Sea Gate. These are three of seven projects that, thanks to European Union funding and UNDP support, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage is currently carrying out in Famagusta Walled City. The other ongoing projects are conservation works to: St. Mary Church of Armenians, St Mary Church of Carmel (Carmelite), St. Anne Church, the Mescit of Tabakhane/Tanner’s Mosque (Jacobite Church). New designs are under preparation for Canbulat and for Seagate will also start soon.
These projects together form part of what the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage refers to as “Martinengo Cluster”. Clusters are critical mass areas of monuments identified by the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage to promote their reintegration in the topography of the walled city.
All these projects are fully funded by the European Union for a total amount of more than 4 Million Euro invested in Famagusta’s heritage so far since 2012. Working together on Famagusta gives the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage the opportunity to develop a joint vision for the city, and UNDP fully supports these efforts, convinced that cultural heritage conservation is playing a pivotal role in bringing Cypriots together around their shared heritage.
This project will contribute to match skills with labour market needs.
