In Yekaterinburg, in the coming years some kindergartens may be converted into schools. The reason is a decline in the number of preschoolers and a simultaneous increase in the number of pupils. This was announced at a meeting of the City Duma commission on the development of education by the head of the mayor’s education department, Inna Gumbatova, the URA.RU correspondent reports.
According to the official, a generation of children born during the baby boom has now reached school age.
“Over the next seven years we will see an increase in the number of schoolchildren, while the number of little ones will continue to decline. This needs to be taken into account when planning the construction of new educational institutions. It may be necessary, in a few years, to convert some kindergartens into primary schools,” Gumbatova said.
This practice could also affect private preschool institutions, which are now gradually being returned to municipal ownership. They could later also be adapted for use as schools.
