Changes After Construction
In 1953, the school doubled the number of classrooms by dividing existing ones in half.
At the beginning of 1969, the school building underwent a restoration process; the school was closed for education for one year.
The 1969 restoration replaced the original wooden floors and staircase with reinforced concrete and installed a central heating system in the school.
In 1987, the single-story building south of the school was expropriated; with the addition of a floor in 1997, this section was designated for kindergarten use.
