44 Schools to be Repaired in 2007!

I applaud the Armenian government for taking the initiative and doing what needs to be done. They are essentially investing in the future of our country.

The 2007 state budget has earmarked 3.8 billion Drams for major repair of 44 of around 200 secondary schools administered by the Yerevan municipality.

It is not said what sorts of repairs will be conducted, but the amount spent does look promising: $10,414,729 split between 44 schools is over $240,000 a school. My only fear is imagining how much of that will actually go to school and how much will line the pockets of the middlemen.
