Parents in Nalchik complained about the prolonged repairs of schools

The deadlines for the repair of several schools in Nalchik have been repeatedly postponed – first, the work was promised to be completed by the beginning of the school year, then by November, and now by the end of the year, parents complained on social media. They pointed out that the prolonged repairs create constant inconveniences for children and families, and demanded that the authorities strengthen control over the progress of the work.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", parents from Nalchik periodically complain about the delays in school repairs. For example, on September 27, parents asked when the work would be completed at schools No. 30, No. 27, No. 31, No. 25, and No. 9. Earlier, residents of the "Alexandrovka" microdistrict complained that the repair of school No. 30 had dragged on, and children have been forced to study in other educational institutions for the second year.

As part of the major renovation of school No. 9 in Nalchik, contractors have begun the second phase of work: they are dismantling the old plaster, preparing surfaces for finishing, and updating the facade. In the first phase, doors, engineering systems, flooring, and ceilings were replaced, and the gym was repaired and equipped, reported the Instagram*-public _07_kbr on October 19.

Parents pointed out the repeated postponement of school repair deadlines and doubted that the work would be completed by the end of the year. "They promised that the children would return by November, the first promise was by September 1, then by the second quarter, now by the end of the year. Why aren’t the authorities monitoring these facilities?" – wrote 1929vsio.

"They won’t finish by the end of the year. At best, by September 1, 2027," believes kartashov629.

"This repair will apparently never end, it has been stretched over a year, and it doesn’t matter that this causes great inconvenience to people," complained darina07522.

Other participants in the discussion shared the inconveniences that the prolonged repairs create for children and their families. "We are waiting for a speedy return, although the deadlines have already been missed, to school No. 29! This causes great inconvenience and difficulties for children and teachers," emphasized albina_dodohova75.

"For two and a half years, my child has been taking a taxi back and forth every day, I am exhausted in every sense," complained elya.diary. She clarified that this concerns the repair of school No. 30.

"I feel sorry for the children and parents, it gets dark quickly now, and it will soon get cold, but the management doesn’t care," wrote dzhuleta688.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that parents of schoolchildren in Kabardino-Balkaria had previously complained about the prolonged major repairs of educational institutions. For example, on November 26, 2025, residents of the village of Urvan told that the repair of the local school has been going on for several years. Due to unfinished work, younger students were forced to study in the second shift, and the school week for students was extended to six days.
