Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on risks associated with the construction and overhaul of educational facilities in 2025.
A meeting on risks associated with the construction and overhaul of educational facilities in 2025 was held at the Government Coordination Center, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
"This year, major repairs are scheduled for approximately 1,500 general education, vocational, and preschool buildings, as well as the opening of 58 construction projects. The Russian Ministry of Education has compiled a register of 28 projects with newly identified risks of not being completed by the end of the year. Today, the task of regional governors is not simply to identify problems, but to formulate specific, targeted instructions with clear target dates and responsible parties," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov noted that systemic solutions are needed for those who fail to implement infrastructure projects on time.
"According to the Ministry of Education, a decision was made earlier this year to postpone the completion of 77 new educational infrastructure facilities and 55 major renovation projects until 2026. "All regions were warned that there would be no further postponements after September. However, we are identifying instances of a number of regions concealing problems. Let me remind you that failure to meet deadlines is unacceptable – it constitutes a failure to implement the measures of the 'Youth and Children' and 'Family' national projects, which we are implementing at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
The meeting was attended by representatives from regions where construction and major repairs of educational facilities are delayed: Khabarovsk and Kamchatka Krais; Zaporizhia, Pskov, Kaliningrad, Amur, Arkhangelsk, Ivanovo, Samara, Tambov, Kherson, Kostroma, Ryazan, and Vladimir Oblasts; Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass; the Komi Republic, the Republic of Khakassia, the Republic of Udmurtia, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. They presented reports on the current situation at these facilities.
"We've been monitoring large-scale educational facility construction and overhaul programs almost daily since the first days of 2025. The draft state budget allocates all necessary funds for infrastructure programs. Most regions are fulfilling their obligations on time. And it's important for us to be confident that everything will be implemented in full," said Sergey Kravtsov.
Additional financial liability has been established for failure to achieve results for the completion of major repairs, and regulations have been introduced to reduce the volume of subsidies for the following year while maintaining the regions' obligations.
