More than half of Minsk's budget is allocated to education and healthcare

The two largest expenditure lines of the Minsk's budget are education and healthcare. In 2021, 24% and 28% of funds were allocated to these areas, respectively. The same trend continues in 2022, Minsk-News writes.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare sector needed additional funding both to ensure payments to doctors, and to re-equip institutions, purchase additional medicines.

On average, 12 kindergartens and 6 schools are being built in Minsk in 5 years. However, now there is a situation when there are more children in some neighbourhoods of the city than there are free places in kindergartens. At the same time, there are vacant seats in other neighbourhoods. Now the city administration plans to build new gardens in those neighbourhoods where a large number of young families are concentrated.

We recently wrote that from September private schools and kindergartens will be required to pass state accreditation.
