In the front-line territories, schools will not work offline even if shelter is available – MES

In the front-line territories of Ukraine, schools will be closed for students from September, even if shelter is available. Deputy Minister of Education and Science Andriy Stashkiv said this on the air of the Yedyny Novyny telethon, Suspilne reports. According to him, from the beginning of September, most of the 13,000 schools in Ukraine plan to return to the full-time education format. About 3,800 more schools will work in a mixed mode, since the shelters in them do not accommodate all participants of the educational process at the same time.

This year, the state allocated 1.5 billion hryvnias for their construction. We expect that a significant number of schools will be equipped with new full-fledged shelters,” said Stashkiv.
