General information

Description of the project

Acquisition of a school bus to ensure safe and comfortable transportation of students and employees of the institution who live in isolated areas (more than 2 km) or have difficulties getting to the educational institution. The implementation of the project will solve the problem of the lack of proper transport for transporting children from remote settlements, will ensure safe transportation conditions and regular school attendance by all students, which is provided for by the Laws of Ukraine "On Education", "On General Secondary Education", "On Preschool Education". The presence of a bus is an opportunity to get to the educational institution, study in person and receive high-quality, modern education. 

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Improving the equality of wealth distribution

Secondary Goal:

Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

The purpose of the Program is to fulfill the requirements of the legislation on ensuring regular free transportation to (from) places of study for students and teachers in rural areas, ensuring equal access for girls and boys to modern, high-quality, competitive education in accordance with the requirements of innovative development of society, which meets the current and prospective needs of the individual, society and the state, creating comfortable, safe and inclusive conditions for learning and education in community educational institutions. Providing excursion services for students, their participation in competitions, sports competitions, sports competitions, olympiads, festivals, events at the local, regional and national levels. Ensuring the participation of participants in the educational process in meetings, seminars, other events at the local, regional and national levels.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Currently, children in villages often study in small classes with a limited choice of profiles (or lack thereof) and a shortage of teachers. In villages, teachers are much more often overloaded with hours of other subjects. This is a temporary solution when there are not enough teachers in certain subjects. Such a strategy cannot be permanent and leads to a deterioration in the quality of education in the long term. Lyceums will give students from villages access to quality education, a wider choice of profiles, in-depth study of subjects and more modern equipment, and for this it is necessary to ensure transportation of students by school bus.
