NURSERY SCHOOLS OPERATE IN RUGGED CONDITIONS
Support A1+!The inmates of Vanadzor's Children's Homes N8 and N23 get preschool education in tumbledown buildings which have inherited worn-out furniture, dilapidated floors, dark and unfriendly corridors. The rooms are heated with wooden stoves.
Four of the twenty local nursery schools operate in cottages today.
Gagik Aghababyan, Head of the Department of Education and Culture of Vanadzor's Municipal Council, says several infant schools have been redecorated and strengthened during the past few years but they cannot finally tackle the problem as they don't have finances. He thinks the best solution to the problem is to unify the nursery schools but it is still too early to speak of it.
Note that the Government has earmarked money to strengthen the foundation of Children's Home 19.
