General information

Description of the project

Organization of free transportation for 202 students of the Serhiy Slobodyan Yarmolynetsky Lyceum No. 1 who live outside the walking distance to the educational institution and back home.
The project provides for the purchase of 1 school bus.

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Improving the equality of wealth distribution

Secondary Goal:

Capacity building, Increasing compliance with modern standards, Meeting demand

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

Ensuring equal access to quality education regardless of place of residence, through free transportation of 202 students of the Serhiy Slobodyan Yarmolinetsky Lyceum No. 1 who live outside the walking distance to the institution. During the implementation of this investment project, it is necessary to purchase an additional school bus to meet the needs of the educational institution.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Since the institution is served by one school bus, the transportation of students is carried out in several stages, which is why some children are forced to get up much earlier and stay at the institution for a long time before the start of classes, as well as after classes. Proper organization of transportation of students living beyond the walking distance to educational institutions will contribute to improving conditions for the safety of children, preserving their health, effective use of budget funds, the human resources potential of teaching staff, and will also expand opportunities for club and extracurricular work.
