Also present were Yap Gov. Sebastian L. Anefal, Lt. Gov. Anthony Tareg, Education Director Vincent Parren, Youth and Civic Affairs Director Ruotpong Pongliyab and Yap High School officials, teachers and students.
In his remarks, Prahar noted the importance of having a better learning facility.
He reminded students that the rest of the learning part is really up to each of them.
He said the U.S., the FSM and Yap want to ensure that each and every student will get a chance to learn as much as they can and become good assets to their state.
“I have never met an adult who said they’ve over-studied in life,” he added.
He asked all involved to keep the new facility neat and graffiti-free so that future generations can also benefit from it.
Parren, for his part, noted the importance of vocational education.
Anefal, Tareg, Prahar and Parren broke ground using the “golden” shovels provided by the contractor, GPPC.
Also yesterday, Prahar met with other officials and entities, including College of Micronesia Director Lordes Raboman and Dr. Murukesan Krishnapillai.
