She emphasized: "However, a decision has not yet been made. This year, 10 billion 827 million soms were allocated from the local budget for education, which could have been used for the benefit of the city. What is the current stage of implementation of this issue?"
First Deputy Mayor Mirlan Baigonchokov responded that the discussion is about transferring funding for salaries in the education sector. "As of today, according to the approved plan, 5.9 billion soms have been allocated in the republican budget for 2026 as targeted transfers. The first tranches have already arrived, and currently, 436 million soms have been allocated for salaries. The remaining expenses will be covered by local authorities," he added.
