«Some heads of municipal schools decided that they could circumvent the May presidential decree banning collection of money in schools,» Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Edil Baisalov said at a press conference.
He admitted that fundraising continues in most schools in the capital. A meeting was held in the Cabinet of Ministers on this issue. The City Hall has been instructed to terminate the activities of all school boards of trustees.
«Yes, there will be problems. But from January 1, 2024, the state will allocate money for chalk, cloth, soap and detergents from the state and capital budgets. Further funding will be increased. It will be difficult, it will not be easy, but all boards of trustees must stop working. If a wealthy businessman wants to help a school, there should be a transparent way to accept those funds. But the extortions must stop.
Dear parents, you can ignore the demands of the school administration to deposit funds.

«Do not hand over the money through a child. Stop interfering with money issues. Children should not be a transfer link. Today we are talking about lack of about 4 billion soms throughout the republic. As of today, 1.5 billion soms have been found, we will find other 2.5 billion soms,» Edil Baisalov concluded.
