Thousands of children are expected to be given access to high quality education facilities, MRRD said.
The head of the development council for Ghorian district, Mohammad Nader hailed the completion of the projects and stressed that this means that children in the suburbs will not study outdoors.
117 other schools are under construction and planning stages to be built under the AQRA project in the region.
Students wherein new schools were built, studied in unfavorable and harsh conditions but with the construction of these educational facilities, their problems were "solved", Nader told media.
Out of 206 schools, 89 have already been built, 62 are under construction and another 55 are in the planning and development stage.
It is expected than over one million students will enrol in the schools of the country this year.
The government has planned to establish 1800 new schools and appoint 1100 new teachers across the country during the year 1400.

Lack of schools, transportation, cultural and traditional believes, and insecurity is reported to be the main reasons to prevent girls from going to schools.
