There are three existing school buildings in Oak Thar Kan. One is an old 80′ x 30′ built by the villagers in 1986 which has no ceiling and gets very hot. Another is a small 45′ x 25′ in bad shape and there is also a 90 ‘ 30′ built by the government in 2020 that is in decent shape but crowded. Three surrounding villages would like to send students as the school has middle school grades. We would like to build a new 90′ x 30’ school here.
