Overcrowding in Shimkent
February 10th, 2008 by kzblog
According to Liter.kz (via Newzzz), South Kazakhstan schools are so overcrowded that some students study in an old hospital, other schools are using all available space including the toilets as classrooms, and some schools are even working in four shifts to accomodate all the children. South Kazakhstan is the biggest oblast in Kazakhstan by population. Every year, according to the article, schools must take on 50 000 new first-graders. Aggravating the problem is that construction of new schools doesn’t occur on schedule forcing schools to be creative.
