Prague - A new elementary school is set to be built in Zličín, Prague, with a projected cost of up to 335 million crowns. This information comes from a resolution by Prague councilors. It is unclear when the construction of the school will begin. Authorities have issued a building permit that is valid until the end of 2016. The construction of the school itself is expected to cost 150 million without VAT. The final amount includes classroom equipment as well as the construction of playgrounds and sports facilities. Additionally, costs for technological support, connection to sewage, water, and gas, technical documentation, and construction supervision are also included. The construction of the elementary school has been planned by the Zličín district for several years, as the capacity of the current educational facilities is no longer sufficient. In two to three years, the local elementary school will be unable to accommodate the demand from people moving into new homes and apartments on the outskirts of the city. There are 169 elementary schools in Prague, attended by 12,800 first graders this school year. Their number has been increasing for several years. For example, in 2011, 10,800 children enrolled in the first grade in Prague. The city districts manage 262 kindergartens in the metropolis with 33,500 places. Thousands more places are provided by private kindergartens and organizations' kindergartens.
