Japarov: 111 emergency schools to be rebuilt by 2027

Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov stated that by 2027 the country will construct 111 new schools to replace buildings deemed unfit for education. He announced this during a meeting with residents of Bazaar-Korgon district in Jalal-Abad region.

According to the head of state, the schools in question are mostly located in remote villages and were built in the 1950s–1960s. The Emergency Ministry has issued conclusions stating that classes cannot be held in these buildings.

Japarov stated that 111 schools built in the 1950s–1960s remain, and added that the Emergency Ministry has issued conclusions that education cannot take place in them. According to him, by 2027 they will fully complete this work and exert all efforts to construct 111 educational institutions.

After completing the school program, the president announced the next phase: starting in 2028–2029, authorities intend to build kindergartens in every village. Japarov also mentioned further rural infrastructure development—construction of sports complexes, cultural centers, and hospitals.

The issue arose during discussions of rural infrastructure problems: district residents had appealed to the president with requests to provide settlements with drinking water and improve roads.
