"This move will allow to reduce the number of three-shift schools 13 times and halve the number of schools in a critical condition by 2016," Minister Sarinzhipov elaborated.

He also noted this will be possible only if local authorities complete the full repair in time.

"The ministry's analysis revealed that 98% of schools in advanced state of disrepair hadn't been repaired at all. Currently, 1 372 schools in Kazakhstan are in need of repairs. However, local authorities have allotted funds only for 439 of these educational institutions. Defiance of the problem will only dramatize the situation," A. Sarinzhipov concluded.
