In the immediate future, the pilot investment will complete the construction or renovation of 100 schools by 2025 (no later than the start of the next school year).
These schools will be models for further widespread implementation, completing the investment goal of building 248 schools in the next 2-3 years.
The invested schools must ensure technical standards, scale, area of the school and classrooms; have adequate facilities to serve learning, cultural, spiritual, physical training, living conditions and absolute safety.
