According to a decision made at today's government meeting, approximately 5.6 billion drams have been reallocated for capital expenditures in the 2026 state budget to ensure the continuous implementation of construction programs for kindergartens in the regions of Armenia.
The financial allocations will be directed towards the renovation and reconstruction of 61 kindergartens. Specifically, it is planned to complete the construction works of 35 kindergartens, start the renovation of another 8 kindergartens, as well as carry out additional works in 18 already constructed or renovated kindergartens.
According to Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan, most of the allocated funds will be directed towards the construction of kindergartens that are in the final phase. At the same time, funding will also be provided for newly starting programs and those kindergartens where the main works have been completed but additional works are necessary.
In addition, funding will be allocated for the acquisition of services for the technical condition inspection, measurement, and development of design and cost estimation documents for another 8 kindergartens. The project also includes funds for consulting, training, and design services within the framework of the grant program aimed at improving the building infrastructure of schools implemented with the support of the "Prosperous and Resilient Asia and Pacific Japan Fund."
During the discussion, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that the allocated funds will help complete not only the buildings of kindergartens but also the improvement works of adjacent areas, ensuring a comprehensive result.
The financing package includes dozens of kindergartens from the Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Lori, Kotayk, Shirak, Syunik, Vayots Dzor, and Tavush regions of Armenia. For some programs, the remaining amounts from contracts and the necessary funds for the improvement of yards are allocated, while in others, the start of construction is financed, and in already completed facilities, the implementation of additional works is funded.
According to the justification, a total of approximately 8.2 billion drams of additional funding is needed to fully complete the construction works of kindergartens, of which 5.6 billion drams will be allocated by today's decision, while the remaining amount will be allocated as needed during the implementation of the programs.
The decision will ensure the continuous implementation of the Government's program for the "Construction, Reconstruction, Renovation, and Repair of 300 Schools and 500 Kindergartens."
