Gradonačelnik Tomislav Tomašević danas je na otvorenju novog vrtića u Podbrežju zajedno s pročelnikom Gradskog ureda za obrazovanje, sport i mlade, Lukom Jurošem, objavio preliminarne rezultate ovogodišnjih upisa u gradske vrtiće. Ove godine na upisima je pristiglo 8.972 zahtjeva, od čega 7.195 valjanih zahtjeva, odnosno djece koja ispunjavaju uvjete za upis. Prema trenutnim preliminarnim rezultatima, 6.511 djece je upisano, 684 djece je neupisano i 1.096 je slobodnih mjesta u gradskim vrtićima. S obzirom na velik broj preostalih slobodnih mjesta u gradskim vrtićima, kao i činjenicu da nakon gradskih vrtića upise provode privatni i vjerski vrtići koji upisuju nešto više od 1.300 djece godišnje, sigurno je da će do kraja ljeta sva djeca u Zagrebu biti upisana u vrtiće. Ovogodišnji broj neupisanih na preliminarnom roku najniži je od 2019. godine, odnosno od kada postoje centralizirani sustav upisa i praćenja brojeva u gradskim vrtićima u Zagrebu. “Zadovoljni smo što, zahvaljujući kontinuiranim ulaganjima...

Residents of Lwadda B Village in Gombe Division, Nansana Municipality, have finally had enough of the darkness. In a dramatic community showdown, angry residents confronted officials from Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL), accusing the power distributor of failing to respond to endless complaints about electricity outages that have left homes, businesses and entire neighborhoods frustrated and counting losses. The explosive meeting, convened by village chairperson Patrick Senkubuge, turned into a public airing of grievances as residents lined up to narrate horror stories of prolonged blackouts, faulty meters, delayed connections and what they described as poor customer care from the company that recently took over electricity distribution responsibilities. Leading the UEDCL delegation was Esther Mariam Nambi, the head of the company’s Magigye office, who found herself facing a barrage of complaints from residents who said they were tired of living in uncertainty whenever electricity faults occurred. Residents accused the utility...

Selon des sources sécuritaires, un groupe d’assaillants est arrivé à bord d’un bus et a ouvert le feu contre des policiers en faction au niveau du rond‑point de l’aéroport.
