He further said Chad-Turkish schools function as bridges between the two countries and they greatly appreciates the schools’ activities.

Following the remarks, PM Dadnadji cut the ribbon of the building with 430-student capacity. The construction launched in 2011 cost approximately 3 million dollar. As the most modern education institution in Chad, the school comprises library and language classrooms alongside the computer and science labs.

The poem performance by a little Chad student and the local guests in their traditional clothes added color to the ceremony.
