Almost 250 educational institutions of Mykolaiv Oblast were damaged during the full-scale war

During the full-scale war, 249 educational institutions were damaged on the territory of Mykolaiv region, 33 of them were destroyed.

This is discussed in the program «Economic and social development of the Mykolaiv region for 2024», NikVesti writes.

As a result of hostilities, 108 kindergartens were damaged and destroyed on the territory of the Mykolaiv region, 94 of them were damaged and 14 were destroyed.

Also, in the territory of the region, institutions of general secondary education suffered significant damage and destruction. In the region, 19 schools were destroyed and 122 were damaged.

It was previously reported that 54 shelters are planned to be installed in kindergartens, schools and lyceums in Mykolaiv over the next few years.

We remind you that the outflow of students was recorded in the schools of Mykolaiv this year. 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.

As you know, 1,177 internally displaced persons study in Mykolaiv. 400 children from the temporarily occupied territories also study in remote classes. At the same time, as of the beginning of the academic year, about 27% of Mykolaiv schools' students were abroad.

Previously, the head of Mykolayiv RMA Vitalii Kim believes that in the academic year 2023/2024, most schools will work online due to the increase in the intensity of shelling.

It is worth noting that earlier in response to the information request of NikVesti regarding the criteria that educational institutions of Mykolaiv must meet in order to resume full-time work in the 2023-2024 school year, the city's education department reported: schools will work in accordance with the recommendations of the State Emergency Service and the Sanitary Regulations approved by the Ministry Health Care. The first is the availability of shelter, and the second is drinking water at school.

It was also reported that starting in September 2023, about 13 schools are planned to be opened for offline education in Mykolaiv. In some educational institutions, parents will be able to choose whether to send their children to study or stay online at home. However, later it became known that the schools will remain closed for visits, as Mykolaiv is still in the zone of ballistic damage.

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.
