[video width="854" height="480" mp4="https://cdn.orient.tm/storage/app/media/en/2017/09/1_sentyabrya_Mekdep_WEB-ORiENT.mp4"][/video] On September 1st, five new schools opened their doors in Ashgabat: three of them for 600 pupils each - in a large residential area of Parahat-7 and two for 720 places in Keshi. The first bell in their biography rang today. Two more schools for 720 places enrolled the children in the Serakhs district of Ahal velayat. Today, rural schools are not much different from urban ones - they are just as solid, have similar set of specialized cabinets and level of equipment, educational multimedia systems and technical facilities for interactive classes. Linguaphone rooms, computer classes, creative studios and workshops for labor training, versatile sports infrastructure became compulsory for general education schools. Another remarkable tradition, firmly entrenched in recent years, is the handing over to all first-graders of the country of personal use netbooks - this is a gift from President Berdimuhamedov. In addition to the new schools, the opening of two kindergartens for 640 toddlers was celebrated today in Keshi residential area. Kindergartens have also been increasingly computerized lately: digital technologies are becoming the best conductors for preschoolers in the world of knowledge, foreign languages and creativity. At the same time, the sports component of the entire education system is growing stronger, from kindergartens to universities: the more our young generation spends time behind the monitor and with gadgets, the more active they should be physically on sports grounds and stadiums, in a swimming pool or on a bicycle.
