A weeklong debate between parents and Yerevan city authorities has yeiled its results – on Thursday the municipality abolished its pilot program for kindergartens which set the deadline for entry to kids at 8:30 in the morning, an hour earlier than the previous gate-closing time.
On Monday, on verbal orders from Yerevan mayor Karen Karapetyan, a pilot program was launched in 20 kindergartens in the city's center, with the stated aim of easing the constantly congested traffic in the central streets of Yerevan during the morning rush hour. The order angered many parents, who were forced to change their morning ruitine in order to deliver their children in time and not to appear behind the door. A group of parents through online social network Facebook launched a group "Let us Sleep!" and appealed to the mayor, saying that the pilot program will not resolve the transportation problems in the city.
