Renovation of Children's Homes in Komi Region Receives Significant Assistance from Moscow
In a significant development, the Chairman of the State Council, Sergei Ushachev, has announced the launch of a new state program to support regions in the costs of capital repairs of buildings housing kindergartens. The program, which is set to operate throughout the country from next year, is a logical continuation of the federal center's assistance to regions in the renewal of educational infrastructure.
Ushachev, along with the head of the administration of Syktyvkar, Vladimir Goladin, inspected the readiness of preschool institutions in Komi for the new academic year. The Republic of Komi has been included in this new federal target program for capital repairs of preschool institutions from 2026 to 2030.
The kindergarten in the village of Yby, Syktyvdin district in the Republic of Komi, has been identified as the first on the list for subsidies from the federal budget. Funds for the kindergarten in Yby will be allocated already in 2026.
Regions can expect to receive funds for the renovation of kindergartens based on their applications from 2026 to 2030. Vladimir Goladin expressed hope for a new program to attract funds for expensive repair types. The quality of the documentation prepared for the capital repairs will determine the outcome of the repairs, according to Vladimir Goladin.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time the federal government has initiated a program for the repair and renovation of educational infrastructure. A similar program for school repairs has been in place before.
Vladimir Goladin also clarified that they will consider the experience gained over the years in developing PED for school capital repairs. It is hoped that at least two kindergartens in Syktyvkar, No. 43 and No. 97, will be included in the program for 2027.
Annual cosmetic repairs are carried out in all city kindergartens during the summer, and additional expenses are funded from the regional budget, as mentioned by Vladimir Goladin. The installation of a new fence around kindergarten No. 66 (built in 1979) and the replacement of windows in kindergarten No. 60 (built in 1973) were inspected during the inspection.
However, specific details about the federal target program's funding source, start date, or duration were not mentioned in the current announcement. For precise details about Russia’s federal programs on preschool capital repairs covering 2026-2030, official government announcements, Russian Ministry of Education or regional government releases such as those from the Republic of Komi would be the most authoritative sources.
News about the federal target program for capital repairs of kindergartens from 2026 to 2030 has been announced. This program, part of the nationwide effort to support regions in educational-and-self-development, will provide funds for the renovation of kindergartens based on their applications.
