The preparation of educational institutions of Vitebsk region for the new academic year was discussed at a regular meeting of the regional executive committee
Head of the region Alexander Subbotin noted that the primary task is to ensure safe, comfortable, and health-preserving conditions for children's education.
The Head of the Main Department for Education of the Regional Executive Committee, Dmitry Khoma, reported that on September 1, approximately 116,300 students will be attending classes. Dmitry Leonidovich explained what is being done and will be done to ensure that schoolchildren and students study in comfortable, modern conditions. He also drew attention to issues whose resolution depends on the attention paid to education system matters by district heads.
Out of 1084 educational institution buildings, 739 (68 percent) are older than 40 years. In this regard, the need for major repairs and modernization, and sometimes complete reconstruction, arises more frequently.
– During the repair of the sports hall at Secondary School No. 2 in the urban settlement of Shumilino (a building constructed in 1956), defects in the load-bearing structures incompatible with further use of the premises were discovered. As a result, the sports hall had to be demolished and a new one built, – Dmitry Khoma gave an example.
At the same time, only 11 buildings require major repairs of individual structural elements affecting the overall technical condition, the head of the sector emphasized. This is a result of the significant work carried out by the Regional Executive Committee and Council of Deputies, as well as district and city executive committees to strengthen the material and technical base and carry out repair work throughout 2017–2021. Approximately 180 million rubles were allocated for these purposes.
As part of the modernization of the education system of the Republic of Belarus, major repairs were carried out in 35 institutions totaling over 50 million rubles. The focus at that time was on replacing engineering systems, major repairs of roofs and canteens, strengthening structures, and constructing sports grounds.
All work on preparing educational institutions must be completed by August 15.
