Chechnya lacks pre-school institutions
88 percent of children in Chechnya have no opportunity to attend kindergartens and nurseries due to acute shortage of such institutions.
"Today, the whole country has 146 pre-school institutions. It is only 12 percent of the required number of them. Today, kindergartens and nurseries are attended by more than 20,500 children, while over 13,600 children of preschool are waiting for their chance in a queue," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the Ministry of Education and Science of Chechnya.
The Ministry has noted that the problem is that during the two military campaigns virtually all pre-school institutions in Chechnya were ruined. "Their recovery is made within the three-year-long target federal programme," said the source from the Ministry.
