YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS; The USAID has pledged to help
Armenian authorities to install modern heating systems in 15 repaired
and newly built schools. The process is set to start next February
and is supposed to be over in late autumn next year .

A deputy urban minister, Sos Kocharian, told Armenpress that the list
of schools was reconciled with the USAID, which will release $600,000
for the implementation of the project. If it proves successful
another 15 schools will be chosen for installation of the modern
heating system.

The deputy minister said the 2005 draft budget earmarks 1.3 billion
drams for repair and construction of new heating systems for schools.
