Buchaev: New schools directly affect quality of life in Dagestan

The development of educational infrastructure remains one of the priorities of the state policy of the Republic of Dagestan. The construction of new schools allows to create modern conditions for teaching children, consistently solve the problem of the lack of student places and increase the availability of quality education, Minister of Education and Science of the Republic Yahya Buchaev told MK in Dagestan.

“The development of school infrastructure is an important component of the socio-economic development of Dagestan. The construction of each new school allows not only to improve the educational conditions of children, but also to solve specific problems that the residents of the republic have faced for many years, said Yahya Buchaev.

According to him, large-scale work is underway in Dagestan in this direction. Only by the beginning of the new academic year, four new schools and an additional educational building with a total capacity of 2,424 students were opened. New educational facilities appeared in Khasavyurt, Kizilyurt, Khasavyurt and Karabudakhkent districts, which allows to consistently reduce the burden on existing educational institutions and reduce the shortage of student places.

The Minister stressed that the importance of this work goes far beyond the educational system itself. New schools directly affect the quality of life of the population, create more favorable conditions for families with children, increase the attractiveness of territories and provide additional employment opportunities for teachers and other specialists.

“At the same time, we understand that the need for new educational institutions persists in a number of municipalities. Therefore, the construction of schools and the preparation of facilities for commissioning continue and are under constant control.

It is important that the development of infrastructure is carried out consistently. Issues that have been accumulating for years are being solved, the educational environment is being updated, conditions are being created for children to learn regardless of their place of residence, the minister said.

Yahya Buchaev said that special attention is paid to the fact that modern schools appear not only in large cities, but also in rural settlements. Every child should have the opportunity to receive education in comfortable and modern conditions, the minister stressed.

According to him, the task is not only to increase the number of student places. It is necessary to create a full-fledged educational infrastructure that meets the needs of the population and creates conditions for the further development of municipalities.

I am convinced that the construction of new schools is a contribution to the long-term development of the republic. Investments in educational infrastructure allow not only to solve today’s problems, but also to form the basis for the future socio-economic well-being of Dagestan. It is on what conditions we create for children today that the opportunities and prospects of the next generations largely depend, Yahya Buchaev concluded.
