Details: Fedorov stated that three schools will be erected in the city of Zaporizhzhia and two more in the Zaporizhzhia district. He highlighted that the first building tenders would be announced this week.

Underground schools are expected to serve as an educational platform for children from numerous districts of the regional centre, as well as several settlements throughout the region.

"Our goal is to enable every child who wishes to return to offline study. In general, in the future there will be ten underground schools," Fedorov concluded.
