"Regional education departments are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take all necessary measures so that children who arrive in our country have an opportunity to receive high-quality education from 1 September.

He also noted that the country's educational institutions are actively preparing for the new academic year. "Maintenance plans prepared in advance are now being carried out throughout the country, so that by 1 September schools, preschools and vocational colleges are renovated and comfortable for students," Aleksandr Kadlubay said.
