"We will greatly improve a sector of the high school to create better conditions for students and employees and for the population around the high school. The news that Stefan cel Mare High School has won the Kusanone project has spread very quickly and everyone is overjoyed", says the high school principal Svetlana Capcelea.

The renovated premises will house classrooms for foreign languages, history and education for society, as well as for optional subjects and extracurricular activities.
