Some schools and
kindergartens may reopen late this year as with only a week left for the start
of the new academic year, repair and extension work is only 70 percent complete
in most places, and less in some others. This year, 137 schools and
kindergartens have been chosen for such work, with 30 kindergartens, 12 school
buildings, seven dormitory houses and six sports gyms being built anew.
Work in Orkhon and
Darkhan-Uul provinces are behind schedule because of late tender selection and
related problems. In Ulaanbaatar, too, there is concern about the progress of
repairs in some cases, especially at the National Education University executed
by Tan and Tsamkhag companies.
The work on addition to the Mongeni
complex is not finished even though MBV Company has spent five years on it. Its
contract might be canceled.
