“Today, we have already got 19 safe educational space projects for the next year. The Krasnohrad and Lozova districts are among the priorities in addition to the Kharkiv district, and we have fully develed a network for them,” Syniehubov noted.

In Lozova, thanks to the American philanthrist, Howard Buffett, a scho kitchen factory is under construction. As part of this project, a safe educational space will be develed in order to launch offline studies. All works are expected to be completed before September 1, 2024, Syniehubov added.
