17th July 2019, Skopje – Roof of “Rajko Zinziforv” Primary School in Cair Municipality, accommodating more than 1,400 students, was reconstructed with grant funds through Municipal Services Improvement project – MSIP. Deputy Minister of Finance, Shiret Elezi, and the Mayor, Visar Ganiu, visited the school today.
The grant funds amount to Denar 3 million, with the municipality co-financing amounting to Denar 3 million as well. The grant funds are awarded to the municipality by the World Bank through MSIP as a result of three other successfully implemented sub-projects through the respective Project, i.e. renovation of two kindergartens and a school in the municipality, ensuring better education conditions for more than 2,000 children.
-Students in this school will start the new school year in a school with a new roof, without asbestos cement blocks, which pose a health risk.

-Remaining fully focused on improving the infrastructure of our primary schools and kindergartens, we, as a municipality, cooperate efficiently on continuous basis with other state institutions and use all possible legal mechanism to facilitate the implementation of many similar projects for the benefit of the students and all citizens in general.
