MBEYA Urban MP Tulia Ackson has donated 400 bags of cement for construction and renovation of classrooms in three schools in the city.

Speaking during the handover ceremony yesterday, Joshua Mwakanolo, Tulia Trust communications officer, said that 200 bags will be used to build two classrooms and one office at Mlimani Primary School in Sinde Ward.

 According to him, the school is in need of 13 classrooms according to the overall enrollment and they made the decision to construct two to reduce the gap.

 He said that another 100 bags would be sent to Dr Tulia Girls' Secondary School in Iyunga Ward and the remaining 100 bags to Itende Secondary School.

 "The MP has decided to renovate the classrooms in old schools so that pupils do not study while crowded in the few existing classrooms," he said.
