Schools in Grozny prepare for the new academic year

Schools in Grozny are intensively being repaired this year. They will be commissioned before the start of the new academic year. According to the deputy head of the education department in charge of construction, Magomed Bagaev, the repairs are being carried out in three directions. Repairs are going on ten schools under the presidential programme. The dates of commissioning should be informed to the President in advance. In short, there will be no problems concerning the repairs since Ramzan Kadyrov personally handles all issues. Moreover, the city administration is responsible for repairing another 14 schools in Leninsky, Zavodsky and Oktyabr districts of Grozny. The mayor of the city Muslim Khuchiev has taken under his control the work linked with repairing these schools. He personally checks the work so that schools will be ready by the end of August, before the academic year starts. The other schools are being financed under a special federal programme. This concerns 12 schools, which will be ready by September. Intensive work is going on in schools Nos 6, 10, 27, 37, 54, and 61 and college No. 4 in Staropromyslovsky district. The construction of new five schools started in January, and they will also be commissioned before the 1st of September. Another three schools will be commissioned in Oktyabr district shortly.

Chechen diaspora

Opportunities for cooperation exist

Movlad Geldibayev, law professor, author of many articles and monographs on jurisprudence has been heading the Chechen Presidents liaison office in St. Petersburg and the North -Western Federal District for 6 months now, which is a very brief period of time. He has, however, been able to do something: the Chechens live in St. Petersburg work, study and go about their daily business like the rest inhabitants of the city. The major problem is that it is difficult for the Chechen Diaspora to hold regular meetings, but the leaders of the liaison office maintain constant contact with all the Chechens in the city and are abreast of their problems and if the need arises, arrange individual meeting. Plans are in hand to reactivate work of the cultural center and arrange regular cultural programs as soon as the center has its own premises. It would be nice to invite the Vainakh troupe or any other popular ensemble, but much depends on money. The problem of financing can be solved,- says M.Geldibayev. - The Russian theater from Grozny named after Lermontov recently visited the city on the banks of the Neva River and presented there the play Knights of the Mountain to a packed hall in St. Petersburg. The large audience included not only Chechens, but also many people from other nationalities living in the city. The Chechen liaison office and officials of the Chechen community in St. Petersburg keep watch over the republics youth and students. Chechen students can be found in different educational institutions in the city and, being a teacher himself, M. Geldibayev knows how to communicate with the youth. (more...)
