A college in Yalta is threatened with eviction in order to free up the building for a hotel.
In Yalta, it seems that they continue to vacate buildings in the center of the resort for commercial business projects. The scandal with Yalta entrepreneurs, two thousand of whom will be evicted from the clothing and flower market by October 1 due to the construction of a shopping center and parking lot, has barely subsided, when a new one is on the doorstep.
While students are in practice and teachers are on vacation, the Crimean government has decided to merge the Yalta Trade and Economics College with the Yalta Economics and Technology College.
Parents of students who found out about this by chance are shocked. Colleges will supposedly not just be united into one structure. Students of the Yalta Trade and Economic College, whose four-story building is located in the center of Yalta, near the bus station, will be transferred to study in the classroom of another college. It is located in an unattractive place - on a mountain in Massandra.

“The son was told that the day after tomorrow he would have to write an application for transfer to another college and he would study in another place,” say the parents of one of the students at the Yalta Trade and Economic College.
Others wonder how hundreds of students will be accommodated in an already functioning college. Unofficially, the local executive committee said that a station hotel could be located in the college building near the bus station, but the facilities are in republican ownership, and they will decide there. This is supposedly the reason for the merger of colleges, which will free up a building almost in the center of Yalta. Then it can always be sold or leased.
“Otherwise, why merge, and, in fact, liquidate the college, which for many decades trained specialists for the resort and was needed. And now, suddenly, there is no longer a need for it,” the parents say.
It is curious that no one officially told students and their parents anything about the upcoming changes.
“Everything is done “quietly.” Students are on practice, teachers are on vacation. Therefore, we expect that we will simply be presented with a fait accompli, and next school year the child will go where he is told, and not where he went,” say the parents.
After reconstruction, the four-story building of the current Yalta Trade and Economic College can accommodate a hotel with more than 50 rooms. There have been no official comments on the upcoming merger of colleges.
