General information

Description of the project

This direction is important for ensuring equal access to education, especially for students in rural areas and remote areas. Organized transportation promotes regular attendance, reduces educational inequality, and creates safe conditions for children to participate in the educational process. The purchase of school buses is carried out to ensure transportation of secondary school students and teaching staff to educational institutions 

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Improving the equality of wealth distribution

Secondary Goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards, Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities

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

In connection with the planned optimization of the network of lyceum branches at the beginning of the 2026-2027 academic year, namely the liquidation of the branch of the "Bobrivnytsia Gymnasium" and the branch of the "Shengariivska Gymnasium", there is a need to transfer the educational process of students of these institutions to the base institution in the city of Zinkiv.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

In connection with the reorganization of institutions, problems arise: 1. Increase in the contingent: The estimated number of students from the villages of Bobrivnyk and Shengarievka who will need daily transportation is 80 people. 2. Capacity deficit: The existing fleet of school buses of the lyceum is currently 100% loaded. Current logistics do not allow integrating new routes without significant disruption of traffic schedules and exceeding passenger capacity standards. 3. Social risks: The lack of guaranteed and comfortable transportation may cause justified concern among the parent community and hinder the adaptation of children to studying in a support institution. Taking into account the above and in order to ensure equal access to quality education, there is a need to purchase 1 additional unit of a specialized school bus.
