In Irkutsk in 2015, two classes for foreign schoolchildren will open as an experiment, where they can study Russian. The city administration supported the initiative after national groups failed to get a grant. Also, the material covers school readiness for the new school year, the number of students and summer repair costs, and what time the September 1 assemblies will begin.

In 2015, as an experiment, two classes for foreign schoolchildren will be opened in Irkutsk to study the Russian language. This was announced at a press conference by the head of the city’s education department, Valentina Peregudova.
Thus, the administration decided to support the initiative of the city’s national associations. Recently, they tried to obtain a grant for this. Unfortunately, they were unable to win it.
As a reminder, as the head of the education department of the Irkutsk administration, Valentina Peregudova, reported, about 68,500 students will sit at school desks in Irkutsk, of whom there are only 3,100 11th-grade graduates, 5,700 9th-graders, and the largest number are first-graders - more than 8,000.
All schools in the city have been accepted by supervisory authorities. In some educational institutions, repairs were carried out during the summer. More than 100 million rubles were allocated from the city budget.
The school opening ceremonies on Knowledge Day in Irkutsk will traditionally begin at 10 a.m.
