In order to offer the students a better education, schools have to update their electrical systems to service computers, audio-video equipment etc..Also, older schools require regular maintenance.
The California public schools that I taught in were over 50 years old. We needed to modernize to accomodate wheel chair bound students, replace our plumbing, and update for technology.

We saw the beginnings of this initiative last year during Ramadan when Queen Rania visited and adopted several schools in the Kingdom.
