President Ilham Aliyev attended the opening of a new school building in Birinci Shykhly village of the Gazakh region.
Based on the Order of the President of Azerbaijan on “Additional measures for restoration of secondary schools fallen into desuetude”, dated December 4, 2009, the construction of the building had started in January of 2010 and was completed in January of the current year.
It was noted that though a number of schools had been constructed during the Soviet times in the Birinci Shykhly village, they had been unable to meet the demands of the time. The buildings, constructed in the areas prone to landslides, plus, the low quality, had been collapsing before even being fully utilized. This building, utilized since 1987, had been facing the same problems.
Before starting the construction works, the mistakes of the past have been studied thoroughly and the foundation of the building was covered with full massive concrete. Every condition has been created for successful and high-quality conduct of education and trainings at the 640-seat school, which attracts attention with its modern design. The school features 49 rooms, as well as 27 classrooms and a fully equipped sports hall. The school has been provided with a heating system. Special attention was paid to the access of students to information-communication technologies and every necessary condition was created in the technical laboratories.
President Ilham Aliyev cut the ribbon symbolizing the opening of the new building and toured the classrooms and the sport hall.
