Gymnasium №10 in Mykolaiv, which was damaged during the war, has resumed in-person teaching

Gymnasium №10 in Mykolaiv, which was damaged by a Russian missile strike in 2022, has been restored. The school has already resumed in-person teaching. The school has been fitted out not only with classrooms but also with a safe shelter.

This was announced by the city’s mayor, Oleksandr Sienkevych, and Mykolaiv City Council.

The restoration of the school was made possible thanks to support from the German government and was carried out by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

Work took place from mid-2024 to the first quarter of 2026. The building’s windows and doors were completely replaced, classrooms were refurbished, and the building services were updated. A modern fire alarm system was also installed.

The school accommodates 800 pupils. During the renovation, the premises were made brighter and more comfortable. It has been adapted to meet accessibility requirements: the ground floor is fully accessible to children with musculoskeletal disorders, and an inclusive toilet facility has also been fitted.

Funds from the city budget are also being used to repair the school’s damaged roof and construct a canopy. As previously reported by UKS, 10.3 million hryvnias were required to repair the roof of Mykolaiv Gymnasium №10, which was destroyed by a blast wave. Last year, 2 million hryvnias were spent on this work.

The safe space is equipped with everything necessary for the educational process to continue comfortably during air raid alerts.

«This means that children will be able to study here; it’s not just a case of carrying out repairs for the sake of it and spending the money,» said Oleksandr Sienkevych.

It is worth noting that as of early March, 64 schools are operating in Mykolaiv, of which 43 are teaching in-person, 9 in a blended format and 12 remotely.
