This problem is especially acute in Bishkek and Osh, as well as in Chui region, where the main flow of internal migration is directed. As a result, a number of schools are overloaded, in which children study in three shifts, and there are up to 50 children in each class, sometimes there are four people sitting at one desk.

The head of the Kyrgyz Republic added that an impressive amount of funds has been directed to the fight against coronavirus infection this year. Nevertheless, funding of critical projects, including construction of new schools and repair of dilapidated ones, will continue, no matter what.

Sooronbai Jeenbekov noted that the fight against the pandemic required a lot of effort and time, otherwise the state would pay more attention to the construction and repair of social facilities, including schools.

Local residents, in their turn, expressed their gratitude to the president for his special attention to the problem of building and repairing educational institutions in the regions.
