New schools will be built in almost all fast-growing neighborhoods: Shirokaya Rechka, Uralmash, Elmash, Pionersky, and Akademichesky. In the latter, the educational institution accommodating 1,100 students will open its doors in 2022.

"These are very ambitious plans for school construction! There have never been such volumes before. As I see it, it is a minimum program capturing what is ready to be put into life. The situation with schools has improved significantly, though it does not mean that the city has reached its limits in this sector. The plans for schools and childcare facilities should be expanded. Everything marked on the map can be expanded quantitatively for the same period," the deputy said.
