46 million hryvnias are planned to be spent on the arrangement of shelters in educational institutions of the Bashtanka district of the Mykolaiv region in 2024.
We are talking about funds from the budgets of territorial communities, Vladyslav Dmytriv, the head of the Bashtanka district military administration, said at a briefing on May 14, NikVesti reports.
«There are problems because we have destroyed educational institutions. There are questions about the security situation. In order to fully prepare for the new academic year, we have already inspected 56 storage facilities. Today, we have both mixed-form and online training. The budgets of all communities currently provide 46 million hryvnias for organizing storage facilities in educational institutions. 5 million hryvnias have already been used for the first quarter,» said Vladyslav Dmytriv.
He also added that this year 17 million hryvnias will be allocated from the state budget to restore one of the schools in the Bashtanka district.
«We have good news. Today, the Ministry of Education approved almost 17 million hryvnias for one of the educational institutions in our district. We hope that in the near future we will receive them in order to improve the situation in the educational sector,» added Vladyslav Dmytriv.
What about children's education in Mykolaiv?
Mykolaiv schoolchildren have been studying online since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. 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.
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 military, says Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych. At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of preparing shelters and resuming education in schools when the Armed Forces move the front line.
Currently, shelters have been installed in 37 educational institutions out of 142 schools and kindergartens in Mykolaiv. At the end of December 2023, the commission recommended the opening of seven more educational institutions with shelters.
In the next few years, the authorities plan to equip 54 shelters in kindergartens, schools and lyceums in Mykolaiv.
We will remind, this year the outflow of students was recorded in the schools of Mykolaiv. Compared to the last academic year , the number of schoolchildren decreased by 3,300. Vitalii Kim, the head of Mykolaiv RMA, explained that the city's schools work online because they are still targets for the Russian army. Vitalii Kim also explained that the decision on the offline operation of the city's schools will be made by the Office of the President and the Ministry of Education.
Where in Mykolaiv Oblast is there offline education?
57 educational institutions were allowed to work offline in the Mykolaiv region. Most of them are schools of Voznesensk and Pervomaisk districts. In addition, 94 schools work mixed, that is, children study offline in a certain sequence, for example, one week after another. Another 277 educational institutions work online.
It was also possible to organize an offline educational process in the front-line Ochakiv, which is still in the zone of damage by the enemy's anti-aircraft missile system. There is a mixed form of education.
According to the monitoring of the Department of Education of the Mykolaiv City Council, 65% of schoolchildren wish to study full-time.
