Kindergartens and schools of the capital, which are put into operation, must meet all modern requirements and be of appropriate quality. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko announced this on the air of Kyiv TV channel.
The mayor emphasized that the capital's authorities have increased funding for education this year.
"Last year, we opened 7 kindergartens, by the end of this year we will open 10, both newly built and completely reconstructed," noted Vitaliy Klychko.
In addition, he added, the authorities of Kyiv return kindergartens, the premises of which were not used for their intended purpose, to communal ownership. Vitaliy Klitschko emphasized that the capital authorities have almost tripled the queues for kindergartens - from 15 to 5,000 children.
"And our task is to ensure that there are no queues at kindergartens at all," the mayor noted.
Vitaliy Klitschko emphasized that two newly built kindergartens were opened in Kyiv this week - in the Holosiivskyi district and in the Troyes region.
"These gardens meet all modern requirements. I am proud that we are opening such facilities," said the capital's head.
He emphasized that during the construction of infrastructure facilities, contractors are required to comply with all requirements and deliver high-quality facilities. The mayor of Kyiv recalled that at the end of the summer he visited kindergarten No. 585 in Obolon, which they wanted to open after reconstruction.
"I visited this kindergarten and was surprised - the kindergarten is opened, but no one followed the safety rules. Anointed, tinted. He touched the children's wardrobe - it almost fell on the director of the kindergarten. Can you imagine if that cabinet fell on a child?” - remarked the mayor. He added that he had set a demand - to correct all deficiencies in a short period of time and only after that to open a kindergarten for children. It was opened later, but now the establishment has a completely different appearance.
Vitaliy Klitschko emphasized that all contractors should be responsible for their work and not wait for inspections from the mayor.
"This is our reputation. We should not hand over objects for which we will be ashamed," he emphasized.
