Construction works have already been completed in 10 of the kindergartens, and 4 are planned to be completed in the current year. Construction works have been carried out or are being carried out within the framework of subvention programs allocated for the development of the regions. The decision also allocates money for the gas supply of the gym building of Yerevan Primary School No. 33 (1.9 million AMD).
Referring to the schools under renovation, Nikol Pashinyan wondered if it was realistic that the work would be completed in 1 year. In response, Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan noted that by the end of the year, about 80-100 renovated schools will be ready. “The 120 schools under renovation included in the list must be completed and renovated by the summer of 2026, so that in September it will be possible to organize a class process in these schools in a new environment.”
In this context, Nikol Pashinyan noted: “We want to find schools subject to major renovation, and it is a problem because in most schools, specialists at least recommend that in the medium term it is more correct to simply demolish this building and build a new one.”
The Prime Minister then presented the list of these schools.
