Along with it, there is an equally important project “Development of the Potential of Hub Schools in Rural Areas”. Hub schools will appear in all districts of our region. This will allow rural pupils to have access to high-quality education in the community in which they live, as well as to consolidate educational resources. We will continue to create all the conditions for our children in the districts and villages to receive the same knowledge as in the city. In the future there will be no division of “city” and “village”, because now rural areas are rapidly developing, » - the Head of the region noted during the presentation
