Education ministry: 80% of Ukrainian schos provided with bomb shelters

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Education and Science Deputy Minister Andrii Vitrenko during a nationwide telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to Vitrenko, the Ukrainian government has allocated more than UAH 1.5 billion to create a safe educational environment.

However, there are 12 schos in Ukraine, where it is impossible to set up bomb shelters. Hence, four pilot projects are now underway to build the new-type bomb shelters.

“Such experience can be found all over Ukraine. For example, a similar bomb shelter was built in Borodianka,” Vitrenko said.

In his words, the new-type bomb shelters will be built in educational institutions with no structural, geogical or location possibilities.

A reminder that this academic year more than 6,500 schos are expected to run across Ukraine as usual. About 4,000 schos will be conducting classes in mixed mode and 2,500 schos remotely.
