As the new school year approaches, the Department of Education of the Bishkek City Hall is reminding parents and legal guardians of schoolchildren to focus on their children’s safety. The department stresses the importance of heightened awareness regarding potential risks as students return to classes. This announcement comes as Bishkek prepares for increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic around schools. Parents are encouraged to discuss safety rules with their children, including safe routes to school and awareness of their surroundings. The initiative aims to ensure a secure learning environment for all students in Bishkek. Authorities hope increased vigilance will contribute to a smooth and safe start to the academic year.
