📋 Tender Overview
In the cities of Coronel Oviedo (Caaguazu) and Paso Yobai (Guairse), the sound of machines and the smell of fresh cement announce a change that transcends the walls. The old classrooms that for years resisted the passage of time are beginning to be transformed into modern, safe and bright spaces thanks to the works promoted by the Government of Paraguay. In this context, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), through its Educational Infrastructure Project Execution Unit, leads a process of repowering school premises together with the Ministry of Education and Sciences (MEC) and with the financial support of Itaipu Binacional. The initiative is not limited to repairing roofs or building walls: it is a comprehensive intervention that seeks to create more comfortable, inclusive environments adapted to the current needs of education. The works include the structural rehabilitation of classrooms, toilets, laboratories, administrative offices and recreational spaces, in addition to the installation of new electrical, sanitary and universal accessibility systems. All of this responds to a common objective: that the infrastructure accompanies pedagogical development and contributes to the well-being of the educational community. Visible progress in both cities In Coronel Oviedo, progress is constant. The preparation of the executive project was 100% completed, as was the preliminary work for the installation of the workshop. The demolitions are 70% complete, the foundations reach 40% and the concrete structures advance by 25%, reflecting firm and planned progress at each stage. Meanwhile, in Paso Yobai, the figures are also encouraging. The executive project was approved in its entirety and the preliminary works reached 100% completion. The demolitions are at 90%, the foundations at 70% and the concrete structures reach 30%, evidencing sustained work that little by little is giving shape to renovated and more functional schools. These interventions form part of the project Improvement of Educational Infrastructure through the construction and equipment of new Educational Centers in the 17 Departments of the country. Within this framework, the works being carried out in Paso Yobai, Coronel Oviedo and Piribebuy correspond to the repowering of school premises, while the remaining 14 projects consist of completely new constructions.
