Fenaka Corporation has announced that the installation of air conditioning units in schools across the Greater Male’ Region and 11 additional atolls is expected to be completed by mid-next month. These areas represent the initial phase of the “Cool School” project, with installation works having commenced last month.
According to information shared by Fenaka Corporation with PSM News, air conditioning has already been fully installed in the classrooms of 12 schools in the Greater Male’ Region. Furthermore, 60% of the installation work has been completed at Dharumavantha School and Rehendhi School. Work is also progressing at Huravee School, where 30% of the installation is finished, while surveys and preparations are underway for classrooms at Ghazi School.
Regarding the progress in other atolls, efforts are currently ongoing across 11 atolls. Notably, 80% of the work has been completed in schools within Fuvahmulah City. In Addu City, Faafu Atoll, and Dhaalu Atoll, 70% of the classroom installations have been finalized. Additionally, 40% of the work is complete in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, 10% in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, and 5% in Lhaviyani Atoll. Surveys and preliminary preparations are currently being conducted for schools in Kaafu, Alifu Alifu, Alifu Dhaalu, and Vaavu Atolls.
As part of the installation process, Fenaka is also addressing the need for electrical upgrades in several schools to support the new systems. In addition to air conditioning classrooms and staff rooms, the second phase of this project will extend to the air conditioning of school halls.
The “Cool School” project was officially launched in June 2024, with the objective of air-conditioning all government schools within a two-year period. This initiative, carried out by the Ministry of Education under the guidance of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, aims to provide a permanent solution to the challenges faced by students and teachers due to rising temperatures, ensuring a more conducive learning environment.
