“The project has already been reviewed by the educational infrastructure area of the Departmental Education Secretariat, and was returned to the Municipality so that they can make the corresponding adjustments. Here, high school students will be served with an appropriate ecological environment to dignify not only the educational quality but also the entire rural community of this sector,” the secretary pointed out.
