YEREVAN
YEREVAN, July 25. /ARKA/. Yerevan kindergartens run by the city
authorities are badly overloaded, Silva Achoyan, deputy chief of the
municipality's basic education division, said on Wednesday.
"A usual group in kindergartens should be made up of 25 to 30 children,
while now it consists of up to 45," she said.
Explaining the situation, she said that the problem is mainly due to
the fact that the city's kids attend the state-owned kindergartens
for free, and monthly fee for children from provinces is 8,000 drams.
Achoyan said that the municipality keeps a close watch on the problem
of shortage of kindergarten workers and solves this problem together
with the administration of every kindergarten increasing the number
of its personnel.
"Some kindergartens are in need of creation of new groups, and we
advance this process," she said.
The municipality official also said that about 8,000 children are
lined for being enrolled in kindergartens.
"Applications are received every day, but kids are enrolled only in
the first three days of every month," she said.
Achoyan stressed that about 6% of kindergartens' personnel and
administration have already been retrained, and this process will
continue.
There are 161 municipality-run kindergartens in Yerevan. More than
22,000 kids attend them.
