The 400-square-meter school has a number of classrooms and rooms for the school administration, and is expected to benefit 400 students.

For his part, Abdel Taher Abshar, Director of Dar es Salaam Primary School, expressed the hope that this school will be a scientific beacon of quality and a dream for the region which was in dire need of a new school to accommodate the increasing numbers of students.
