However, in Mykolaiv, due to the outflow of schoolchildren, they decided to combine classes in educational institutions that will work remotely. Because of this, some teachers will have to be laid off. The Department of Education promises to place teachers who are subject to layoffs in other educational institutions where there are not enough workers.
