The goal of the public investment project is to comprehensively re-equip 17 science classrooms in 6 secondary education institutions in the community to ensure high-quality practice-oriented learning and the formation of STEM competencies in 712 students who directly study science subjects, as well as create appropriate working conditions for 125 teaching staff.

There are 17 science classrooms (biology, chemistry, physics, geography) in the community's institutions. Of these, only 1 classroom is fully staffed in accordance with modern requirements. 10 classrooms are equipped by more than 50%, but their equipment is partial and does not allow for the systematic conduct of the full range of laboratory and practical work. Another 6 classrooms are equipped by less than 50%, which actually makes it impossible to implement the practical component of educational programs in a high-quality manner. The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that science disciplines are the basis for the formation of a scientific worldview, logical thinking, and STEM competencies. The insufficient amount of laboratory equipment, demonstration materials, and modern teaching aids limits the possibility of conducting practice-oriented training, which is a mandatory requirement of state standards. If the problem is not resolved, there is a risk of a decrease in the quality of science education, formal implementation of curricula without a proper practical component, loss of interest of students in science subjects and a decrease in their competitiveness when entering institutions of professional pre-higher and higher education. The implementation of the project will allow to ensure the retrofitting of 17 science classrooms, increase the share of fully equipped classrooms to modern standards, create conditions for conducting full-fledged laboratory and research work and significantly improve the quality of science and mathematics education for 712 students of the community. This will contribute to the formation of practical skills, the development of research competencies and an increase in the overall level of educational results.
