Moreover, our goal is to have only one shift at every school and offer kids innovative, modern education. These are challenging tasks to complete,’ the city council’s press service refers to Myamin as saying.

According to the official, four schools for 2,910 children were introduced in 2013-2015, which cost 2bn RUR.
