YEREVAN, October 24. /ARKA/. The autumn and winter holidays will not
be merged in Yerevan’s schools in 2008-2009 school year, said the RA
Deputy Minister of Education and Science Bagrat Yesayan.
"Formerly, we were forced to merge autumn and winter holidays because
of heating problems in schools," said Yesayan at a press-conference.
However, according to him, Yerevan’s 136 schools are provided with
local heating systems, and the other ones with electrical heating.
Yerevan schools will be on autumn holidays from October 27 to
November 2.
Yerevan currently has 240 schools, with 203 of them being under the
authority of the municipality.
