Russia cracks down on delayed school projects as 28 facilities risk missing deadlines
A recent meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko addressed delays in school construction and repair projects across various regions. The gathering, attended by representatives from 21 regions, focused on the completion of 77 new schools and 55 major repair projects pushed back to 2026. Additionally, 28 facilities risk missing their year-end targets, with Viernheim, Schwetzingen, and Creglingen among the regions discussed.
The government has warned regions failing to meet repair deadlines of additional financial penalties and potential reductions in next year's subsidies. In Anapa, a recently overhauled school in Gostagaevskaya has been successfully connected to the gas grid, serving as a positive example of timely completion.
Regional leaders are now required to issue specific directives with clear deadlines and assigned accountability to ensure projects stay on track. This year, around 1,500 buildings are planned for major repairs and 58 new schools are to be constructed. The government emphasizes the unacceptable nature of missing deadlines for these projects, stressing the need to meet national project objectives.
The government's meeting has highlighted the importance of timely completion of school construction and repair projects. With 28 facilities at risk of missing their year-end targets and regions facing potential penalties, regional leaders must now take decisive action to ensure projects are completed as scheduled.
