By the end of 2020, one more school for 1224 students will be completed at the Salavat Kupere residential complex

By the end of this year, a new school for 1224 students will be built at the Salavat Kupere residential complex in Kazan. It will be a modern educational institution with two swimming pools and two gyms, large sportsgrounds, a hockey rink and comprehensive classrooms. Today, there is only one school in the district which is overloaded, so the demand for a new facility is crucial, said Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan. He inspected the progress of construction and instructed to begin recruitment of staff before the end of the work. It is planned that primary classes will accept students from February 1.

“Today at the Salavat Kupere residential complex 40 houses have already been put into operation, 20 thousand citizens live here. 8 more houses are under construction– this is another 2.5 thousand residents. Therefore, this school is a long – awaited venue for all of us – the Mayor said – the social infrastructure covers the number of Kazan residents living here. We have already opened five kindergartens, two more are under construction, and the issue of accessibility of school education is also being resolved.”

Construction of the three-storey school under the Housing and urban environment national project began last autumn by the contractor company LLC Ak tash. At the moment, the final stages of construction are being carried out at the facility – plastering, tile installation, finishing and painting works. In general, according to Ravil Akhmetvaliyev, chief engineer of Ak tash company, the construction is completed by 70%.

It is planned to complete the construction of the school by the end of this year.

“It is very good that instead of the next September 1, you are completing work before the end of the year, working ahead of schedule. Now we can focus on recruitment of staff in the middle of the school year –I. Metshin noted. - The school is highly demanded, so children will go to study here with pleasure. It is up to us to form the teaching staff."

The new educational organization will meet all modern requirements, said I. Metshin. “This is a school with two swimming pools, with a real concert hall. Now it is a standard school for us, but it is still unusual in terms of the level of improvement and the number of specialized premises, - the head of the city noted. - There will be classrooms for physics, chemistry, natural science, and technology at a level that we never dreamed of before.”

For information, the capital of Tatarstan is ahead of many major Russian cities in terms of the pace of construction of educational facilities– 13 schools were built in the city in 5 years. This year, two more schools were put into operation in Kazan – the Adymnar poly-lingual educational complex for 1224 students on Bondarenko street with an additional building for 800 students on Bichurin street, as well as the new lyceum № 187 on N. Zhiganov street. In addition to Salavat Kupere, the construction of a new school is underway at the Art city residential complex – the construction will end in June next year.
