The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company Limited (MTCC) has been awarded the contract to construct a new three-storey building at the Meemu Atoll Education Centre in Muli, marking a significant step forward in improving educational infrastructure in the region.
Valued at USD 1.2 million, the project will include the development of 10 modern classrooms, a fully equipped library, an audio-visual (AV) room and a dedicated health room to support both learning and student well-being.
The expansion comes in response to rising student enrolment and ongoing space constraints at the school, which currently serves 240 students from Muli and nearby islands. As the capital of Meemu Atoll, Muli attracts students from across the atoll, placing increased demand on available facilities.
The new building is expected to ease overcrowding and create a more conducive environment for delivering quality education.
The construction agreement was officially signed by Minister of State for Education Dr Abdul Latheef Mohamed, while MTCC was represented by Deputy Managing Director Mohamed Jamsheed.
The project forms part of the government’s broader efforts to strengthen education at the atoll level and ensure equitable access to modern school infrastructure across the Maldives.
