Aspects environnementaux

Schools are not specifically mentioned in Directive 2011/92/EU on environmental impact assessment (EIA), though the project may be covered by Annex II of the directive in relation to urban development. During appraisal the Bank’s services will review the procedures in place to guarantee the implementation of the applicable EU directives on environmental matters, notably with specific attention to Directive 2011/92/EU.
Overall a positive impact is expected on education and social cohesion as the new School Strategy aims to put schools at the centre of community life, as well as to combat forms of social exclusion and degradation.
