After 13 years, two schools in the remote villages of Bedok and Sarzay district of Chagai have re-opened with the support and efforts of Reko Diq  Mining Company (RDMC) a joint venture between Barrick and the Governments of Balochistan and Pakistan. This initiative is a part of RMDC’s commitment to community development while building a world-class coper gold mine in the area, a press statement issued on Friday said.

The CDC of the fan sediment area of the Reko Diq Project, in which these two villages are located, proposed the re-opening of the primary schools so that the local community’s children can have access to quality education.
