📋 Tender Overview
The issue of accessibility to educational services and safety in the context of wartime realities remains one of the key priorities of state and regional educational policy. In Chernihiv region, measures for the construction and modernization of shelters in educational institutions are being systematically implemented, which allows for the organization of the educational process taking into account safety requirements and the principles of barrier-free access.
- notes Yuriy Muzyka, head of the Department of Education and Science of the Regional State Administration.
In particular, with funds from the state and local budgets, charitable organizations, and other donors, 28 shelters have been built, 8 of them this year. Currently, 15 new protective structures are under construction, and 6 institutions are undergoing major repairs. In addition, during 2025, 32 shelters were modernized. Thus, in October, the construction of a radiation protection shelter at Prylyutskiy Lyceum No. 13 named after Saint Ioasaph of Belgorod was completed with a total cost of 23.14 million hryvnias, funded by a state budget subsidy. A shelter used by Nizhyn Gymnasium No. 9 was built with funds from the charitable foundation ACTED, with an estimated cost of 17.89 million hryvnias. Currently, the highest level of provision with protective structures is in institutions of vocational, pre-higher, and higher education (100%), in general secondary education institutions - 97%, in extracurricular education - 94%, and in preschool education - 85%.
Significant attention during the construction and modernization of shelters is paid to their accessibility for people with limited mobility. Appropriate means have already been installed in 342 educational institutions. In particular, 71 have been equipped with lifts, and 8 have elevators installed. Other barrier-free solutions are also being implemented: ramps, smooth and wide entrances without thresholds, tactile elements and contrasting markings for visually impaired individuals, inclusive restrooms. Spaces for rest and development are also being arranged so that children feel comfortable and cozy.
