The klapleu modern middle school is a school established in a rural area. It is planned to operate on a two-track basis from sixth grade through ninth grade, which means a projected total of 8 classrooms. However, since its opening in 2025, there have been only 4 classrooms instead of the 8 planned. From 20 students at the start, there are now 173 students spread across 3 grade levels (6th, 5th, and 4th). The growing student enrollment. Therefore requires the construction and equipment of the remaining 4 classrooms.
The CRS school, founded in 1995, serves students from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a result, it faces many challenges that affect academic performance. In addition, the poor condition of the restrooms makes the children feel uncomfortable. Consequently, they relieve themselves outside the school.
For the past three years, we have been renting a room and space to house our preschool. We started with 40 students and now have 80. We serve students in the younger, middle, and older preschool classes, as well as a special education class designed to support children who left public school at a very young age, as well as those facing learning challenges, to help them overcome them. With our limited resources, we are struggling not only to build our own school but also to accommodate more students.
