The Ministry of Education has revealed that Narudhoo School has been converted to a single-session facility with the completion of its new building.
The conversion of Narudhoo School into a single-session facility has been carried out following the completion and opening of its new three-storey building. The building was constructed by Wave Length Private Limited at a cost of USD9.2 million. The building consists of six classrooms, a staff room, a computer laboratory, and a health room.
Narudhoo School currently consists of a total of 11 classrooms, accommodating 147 students up to grade 10. The expansion effectively resolved the space constraints faced by the facility.
