THE Japanese Embassy in Zimbabwe has reaffirmed its commitment to the improvement of school infrastructure and fostering a supportive environment for youth in education.

The commitment was made by the Japanese Embassy in Zimbabwe Ambassador, Mr Shinichi Yamanaka during the commissioning of two classroom blocks and a teachers’ cottage at Gobakhulu Primary School in Jotsholo, Lupane district on Tuesday.

The project was funded by Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) programme, with an investment of approximately US$72,000.

“Let me take this opportunity to highlight that the support for this project is part of the broader approach of Japan on Zimbabwe that focuses on the provision of quality school infrastructure and promoting positive nurturing of young people in schools as our government believes education is key to the future development of this country,” said Ambassador Yamanaka.
