THERE WON’T BE LESSONS IN 155 SCHOOLS FOR ANOTHER WEEK

Social

Under the order of the Ministry of Science and Education (MSE), the winter holidays of secondary schools ended on January 22, but many schools in Yerevan are still on holiday. The press secretary of MSE reports that the municipality has decided that the lessons will be postponed in certain schools till January 31 because of certain issues connected with heating.

Out of 205 secondary and special schools of the capital only 50 are heated via local boiler-houses, others are heated with electricity, states deputy head of the municipality educational department.

In some regions classes began earlier-from January 15. “The temperature inside the classrooms is far from being satisfactory as we do lessons with our coats on. And in case we take our coats off, we should be warmly dressed. That's why we always ask the parents to send pillows with their children to sit on so that they won't catch a cold”, said one of the teachers of the city of Abovyan.
