The OS II Livorno school located on Pandit Paltan Tewarieweg has been officially reopened following an extensive renovation project completed with support from the Staatsolie Foundation in collaboration with GOw2. This educational institution has undergone a remarkable transformation that addresses both aesthetic and structural concerns.
The comprehensive refurbishment included complete classroom upgrades featuring new ceilings, wall panels, and modernized blackboards, all complemented by fresh paint throughout the facility. The school environment has been redesigned with child-friendly elements to create a more engaging learning atmosphere. Crucially, the project resolved persistent issues with woodlice and wood-boring insects that had compromised the building’s integrity, ensuring both safety and comfort for students and faculty.
School administration and teaching staff have expressed profound appreciation for the renovations, noting that the improvements contribute significantly to a more pleasant and motivating educational environment. The transformation goes beyond cosmetic changes, addressing fundamental infrastructure issues that had hindered the learning experience.
The Staatsolie Foundation emphasized that this initiative aligns with its long-term commitment to supporting educational institutions throughout Suriname. This project represents part of their broader strategic investment in national development through educational infrastructure improvement. By enhancing physical learning environments, the foundation aims to create sustainable educational opportunities that will benefit Surinamese communities for years to come.
The successful completion of the OS II Livorno renovation demonstrates how public-private partnerships can effectively address educational infrastructure needs while creating environments conducive to academic excellence and student development.
