The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine will allocate 17 million hryvnias for the renovation of a shelter in one of the Bashtanka schools in the Mykolaiv region.

Vladyslav Dmytriv, the head of the Bashtanka district military administration, said this in a comment to the NikVesti correspondent.

During one of the briefings, the official announced the information that the Ministry of Education and Culture should allocate funds for the school, but did not specify for which works. The received subvention will be used for the construction of the shelter according to the updated construction standards.

«We are talking about shelter. We had a project, implementation partially started in 2023, but due to the fact that new DBN was introduced. There are two buildings in shelter, one was made by UNICEF, and the other was made at the expense of a subvention, which will be received by the Bashtanka city council,» said Vladyslav Dmytriv.

Before the Russian invasion, more than a thousand children studied at the school. The facility was not affected by the flights, but suffered some damage. The updated shelter will be accessible, in particular for children with reduced mobility.

«There were shellings, but no destruction. The roof and windows were partially damaged, but everything was restored. In principle, the educational process can be started there, the only issue is security. About 1,100 children can study in the school itself. That is, two storage facilities for the older one and for the younger one,» added the head of the RVA.

As you know, the school in Bashtanka is not the only institution that will receive funding from the MES. On May 20, the Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science considered projects for obtaining state funding for the repair or construction of shelters in schools. A total of seven such projects were approved in Mykolaiv Oblast.

We would like to remind you that the subvention for shelter in 2024 is distributed among institutions of general secondary education, which work according to the distance and/or mixed form of education. 200 million hryvnias of subvention will be sent to Mykolaiv Oblast.
