However, during the economic crisis of the late 1980s, the deterioration of the educational environment worsened due to the cancellation of educational facilities, declining enrollment rates, and overcrowded classrooms. Due to the tight financial situation, it was difficult to build new classrooms, repair and maintain existing school buildings, and the government requested Japanese grant aid with the aim of improving the basic education environment through the construction of elementary school facilities and the provision of educational equipment in the cities of<br>Yaounde and Douala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This project aimed to alleviate the overcrowding of elementary school in the two cities with high population concentration by constructing 147 classrooms in 11 schools in Yaound\u00e9 and 195 classrooms in 20 schools in Douala and providing educational equipment. In the planning process, single-story or two-story school buildings were designed according to site conditions and the surrounding environment, based on a plan with natural lighting and ventilation to reduce the burden of maintenance. The roof is double-roofed to reduce radiant heat from sunlight, and the walls are made of perforated concrete blocks to ensure effective ventilation and lighting, and to provide a robust structure against damage and theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":235,"template":"","kind":[9],"country":[42],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/121"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kind","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kind?post=121"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.matsucon.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
