- There are 64 schools in Mykolaiv, and each has been affected by shelling in one way or another. Six schools were utterly destroyed, says Deputy Mayor of Mykolaiv Serhiy Kornev. However, educational institutions worked, and children, even those who had to flee abroad, could study. Today, 37,000 students are enrolled in Mykolaiv schools, 15,000 of them study remotely, and 22,000 can attend classes offline.
Mykolaiv Lyceum No. 60 in the Varvarivka district is one of the largest in the city. Before the full-scale invasion, over 650 children studied here. In April 2022, a cluster bomb hit one of the buildings of the institution. The building was damaged, and windows and doors were smashed. In July 2022, a missile strike destroyed the lyceum's primary school building, damaging the main building and the playground nearby.
- It happened very early in the morning. A few hours later, people began to gather at the Lyceum. Some were crying, others stood silently. Everyone was stressed out, but everyone realized that something had to be done, - says Natalia Boyarska, the Lyceum's principal.
The project plans to build a new three-story building. It is based on modern architectural and construction standards for implementation and design. The building will have a new gym, assembly hall, and canteen. An elevator will be installed.

The total project budget is UAH 111.3 million. The work and interior decoration are scheduled to be completed by 2025.
- The DREAM ecosystem is the most convenient tool for cooperation with donors and investors. As projects on the restoration of Mykolaiv have been added to DREAM, we find successful cases and invest in the city's recovery,- emphasized Sergiy Kornev.
According to DREAM Business Intelligence (https://bi.dream.gov.ua/#/), the Mykolaiv region is among the leaders in terms of the number of projects included in the DREAM ecosystem. Mykolaiv City Council is implementing 254 projects with a total budget of UAH 18.1 billion.
The DREAM Project Office created the material within the GIZ Ukraine Sustainable Society Cluster framework, funded by the German Government and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
