2026/5/13
On 13th May, a milestone handover ceremony was celebrated at Vaghara Primary School for “the Project for the Construction of a Classroom Building for Vaghara Primary School in Choiseul Province.” This vital educational infrastructure was funded through the Government of Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GGP).
With a grant of 602,681.76 SBD from Japan, a brand-new, two-story building featuring six spacious classrooms has been successfully constructed. This project stands as a commitment to the shared vision of Japan and Vaghara Primary School to drastically improve the learning environment and to elevate the quality of education for local children.
In his keynote address, Japanese Ambassador Higuchi extended his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this project from the beginning to the completion, especially the school principal, teachers, the school committee, the community leaders, as well as parents and all other stakeholders. The Ambassador stated that the quality basic education is the foundation for a brighter future, and a safe and well-equipped classroom encourages children to attend school regularly, to concentrate and to learn with confidence.
The Government of Japan remains firmly committed to supporting sustainable socio-economic development across Solomon Islands, from remote grassroots communities to the national level. Japan’s GGP scheme will continue to fund impactful, community-driven projects proposed by NGOs, schools, hospitals, and local government authorities to address the immediate needs of the people.
