Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Construction has proposed revisions to school building design standards, specifically concerning the size of assembly halls in new schools. The proposed changes are currently under public discussion. The ministry aims to modify norms allowing for smaller assembly hall dimensions within new school constructions. The rationale behind the proposed reduction in size has not been publicly detailed. This move potentially impacts the functionality and capacity of spaces intended for school-wide events and gatherings. Public feedback is being solicited before any final decisions are made regarding the new standards. The changes could affect future school infrastructure projects across the country.
