According to it, 6.5 million additional places are to be created in comprehensive institutions by 2025.

Chairman of Russian Government noted that modernization of regional pre-school educational system has been carried out, mainly owing to reducing queues to kindergartens. “More than 1 million places have been provided over the last three years. More than 340 000 places are to be created. The problems concerning queues in kindergartens have been solved in many regions. Nowadays about 7 million children attend state and private pre-school educational institutions. We should realize that they will go to school soon, and we must provide good conditions for their study. Above mentioned project also envisages construction of new educational establishments and reconstruction of existed ones. We should take into consideration our possibilities as this project demands considerable capital investments that  preliminarily make 3 trillion roubles, ” Dmitry Medvedev reported.
