It is necessary to build at least 18 schools to relieve overcrowding in secondary schools in Bishkek. Vice Mayor of the capital Victoria Mozgacheva announced at a meeting of Mekenchil deputy group.
According to her, 12 schools are planned to be built this year through Qatar Charitable Foundation. The construction of an educational institution in Ak-Bata residential complex and an additional building for school No. 88 is currently being completed.
«About 230,000 are studying in our city with a capacity of 205,000 children. Another 15-18 schools, depending on capacity, need to be built. The number of first-graders increases annually. If before we had 18,000 first-graders, in the last year we had almost 25,000,» Victoria Mozgacheva said.
She noted that the merger of schools also solved the problem of overcrowding in educational institutions.
