Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 21 / Trend T.Hajiyev /
Azerbaijan will build new kindergartens. A new investment project is aimed at developing preschool education and the process is underway on collecting information on building kindergartens, which are in disrepair, the Azerbaijani Education Ministry told Trend.
The monitoring carried out by the Education Ministry's Preschool Education Department revealed that the country's several regions lack kindergartens. To solve this problem, the ministry developed a new investment program.
Here alternative centers will be created, in addition to the construction of the new kindergartens. Such a pilot center is already opened in the Khatai district of Baku. Compared with the kindergartens, the center does not provide lunch and sleep. During a three-hour stay in such institutions, children develop communication skills, logical thinking, work skills, and acquire knowledge and skills necessary to complete the transition to school. The ministry's employees are also working with teachers who want to work in these institutions.
The ministry is also working on expanding the network of preschools and training curricula.
