The Mykolayiv RMA plans to open schools and kindergartens in the region

In the Mykolaiv region next year, they plan to open face-to-face education in all schools and kindergartens.

The head of Mykolayiv RMA Vitalii Kim told about this in an interview on the YouTube channel of journalist Oleksandr Matiushenko.

The head of the military administration noted that they are already considering the possibility of opening kindergartens, and later schools. However, he specified that this issue depends not only on him.

«I am planning (offline education on the territory of the entire Mykolaiv Oblast, — note). We spoke with the minister. We are already doing everything for this. I don't want to promise because I can't make such a decision alone. But we are planning to open kindergartens as a priority, possibly earlier than the beginning of the school year, and we are definitely planning offline for the next school year, because it is necessary,» he noted.

Earlier it was reported that in the Mykolaiv region about 100 thousand schoolchildren study remotely, and 22 thousand students are abroad.

We also remind you that in response to the questions of Mykolaiv students, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that in order to fully restore the educational network in Mykolaiv, the region needs to strengthen air defense.

As you know, schoolchildren in Mykolaiv still study online. Although the government, with the help of donors and the state, is actively setting up shelters in educational institutions, which sometimes causes indignation among the townspeople.

We remind that the executive committee of the Mykolaiv City Council approved the list of educational institutions that will work in 2023-2024.

Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych explained that the refusal of children to go to school is a guarantee of their personal safety, because Mykolaiv is still in the zone of possible ballistic damage from the Russian Federation. At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of preparing shelters and resuming education in schools when the Armed Forces move the front line.

At the same time, in front-line Ochakiv, which is still in the zone of damage of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile system, a mixed form of training is in effect.

Currently , 57 educational institutions have been allowed to work offline in the Mykolayiv region. Most of them are schools of Voznesenskyi and Pervomayskyi districts. In addition, 94 schools work mixed, that is, children study offline in a certain sequence, for example, one week after another. In addition, 277 educational institutions work online.

Later, Vitalii Kim explained that the decision on the offline operation of city schools will be made by the Office of the President and the Ministry of Education.

According to the monitoring of the Department of Education of the Mykolaiv City Council, 65% of schoolchildren want to study full-time.

For the beginning of the academic year, the Department of Education of the City Council announces tenders for placement in shelter schools in an offline format. Yes, the shelter in school No. 23 will be repaired for 2.2 million hryvnias, and in Lyceum No. 58 for 2.6 million hryvnias.

At the same time, the publication Ukrainian Pravda together with the savED fund, as part of the «To school again» campaign , announced a fundraiser for the construction of a shelter for the Mykolaiv Lyceum No. 55, which in the new academic year should become a key school in the city district.
