Details: The first stage of the project will focus on eight educational facilities in Kyiv, Chernihiv and Kharkiv oblasts, where nearly 20,000 schoolchildren are studying. Among them is Lyceum No. 4 in the settlement of Lozova in Kharkiv Oblast.
These schools have been damaged only slightly and do not need capital refurbishment; broken doors and windows, as well as damaged equipment, need to be replaced. Basements that will serve as bomb shelters will also undergo repairs.
It is planned to complete the repairs by the beginning of the new school year.
After these educational facilities, 28 more schools will undergo more capital refurbishment, including repairing damaged walls and ceilings, heating systems, and improving shelters in basements.
