Work at the construction sites of the new schools and kindergartens continues around the clock to build back the educational facilities that sustained severe structural damages due to the devastating earthquake on November 26, 2019.

Prime Minister Edi Rama, accompanied by the Minister of State for Reconstruction Arben Ahmetaj, toured the construction sites where larger, safer and more resilient educational facilities are being built back.

The new “Kamza e Re” school is being readied to welcome back its 1000 students in September.

The Municipality of Kamze is one of the areas worst hit by the earthquake, where besides the new educational facilities, single-family homes and residential complexes are being built for the quake-affected families.
