The Ministry of Education has marked NT$2.7 billion to give all public preschool and elementary school playgrounds a new look. That’s the word from Education Minister Pan Wen-chung on Tuesday.
Pan was attending an annual conference for department heads in the education field in Tainan. He says that the ministry is planning to revamp all public school playgrounds in the next two years. Nearly 2,000 elementary schools and some 800 preschools will enjoy the fruits of this project.
Pan says he is grateful to Premier Su Tseng-chang for also being supportive of updating elementary school and middle school facilities, including remodeling old restrooms, building indoor sports courts and installing new playground equipment.
In addition to the playground project, the Education Ministry will also make sure that elementary and middle schools will have air-conditioning installed by the summer of 2022.
