When you build schools, you need labor from this country to do so. Not to mention the buying of materials. You're creating money making opportunities for builders, electricians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, and so on. People to setup telephone lines, computer networks and so on.
And many of the construction isn't for "new schools". It's for fixing existing infrastructure. New library at a school, a new water heater at another. That doesn't necessarily have to create new ongoing costs to operate, just upgrading the current facilities.
