MBABANE -The Government has committed over E75 million for the construction of staff houses, and administration blocks in schools countrywide.
This initiative is said will benefit over 4,000 staff members and over 12,000 pupils.
This publication has gathered that the government, in collaboration with the Microprojects Programme Coordinating Unit (MPCU), aims to construct these buildings in secondary, and high schools.
