Head of state Vladimir Putin called this unacceptable for schools across the country which are in poor condition. The president said so during a September 1 preparations meeting.
The Russian leader recalled that by 2026 a major school overhaul program is expected to appear in the country. Putin stressed that the Cabinet of Ministers must prepare this program by the end of this year with the allocation of the necessary funds.
& nbsp; “ We have 39,600 schools, and they use buildings and structures, there are only 67,500, of which about 10 percent need major repairs, and less than one percent – a little, but, nevertheless, it is unacceptable – schools are in bad shape, “quoted RIA Novosti, citing the country's leader as said.
In the new school year, around 17 million students will go to the country, reports TASS. According to Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov, around 6,000 schools have already been accepted before the school year, this work is expected to be completed by August 20. The head of the department also noted that the ministry will ensure that schools comply with all of Rospotrebnadzor's archaic requirements.
Last week, Vladimir Putin congratulated & nbsp; Russian schoolchildren who became the winners of the International Physics Olympiad.
On Wednesday, the state chapter ordered to postpone & nbsp; the start of the implementation of lump sum payments for schoolchildren of 10 thousand rubles from August 16 to August 2, so that parents & nbsp; have more time to prepare for September 1st.
