The new primary school building for grades 4\u20136, made possible through a generous private donation, is currently under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The new school buildings are characterized by carefully planned, climate-adapted architecture: light-filled, well-ventilated classrooms, sun-shaded walkways, and robust materials. In addition, it is planned to gradually equip the entire school complex with solar power. This will allow classrooms to be fitted with fans and illuminated in the evening, enabling their use for community events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buildings and infrastructure form the foundation, but the real impact comes from the school itself. School education strengthens children in their development, relieves families, and creates long-term perspectives for the village of Kalassa and its surrounding area. Together with the public education authority CAP, CAAS is helping to develop Kalassa step by step into an educational hub with model character for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LetzerSchultag_l.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LetzerSchultag_l.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LetzerSchultag_l-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LetzerSchultag_l-768x386.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Celebrations on the last day of school before the holidays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn more:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/en\/village-develop\/\"><em>&gt; Village development and integration into the region<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/en\/health-center\/\"><em>&gt; Local health care: The health center<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/en\/the-campus\/\"><em>&gt;&nbsp;<\/em><\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/caas-mali.de\/en\/the-beginnings-in-siby\/\">The history of CAAS<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Promoting school education in Kalassa is a central component of village development and a long-term focus of CAAS\u2019s work.
