General Information

Program Description

The goal of the program is to improve student living conditions by modernizing dormitories in state and municipal institutions of vocational and professional pre-higher education, which provide young people with the opportunity to obtain high-quality professional (vocational) education close to home, train personnel to meet the needs of local employers, and saturate the labor market with professional personnel.

The program provides for the renewal of the material and technical base, the creation of an inclusive, safe, and energy-efficient environment, as well as the arrangement of modern spaces for self-training, leisure, and socialization. Special attention is paid to meeting the needs of students with different social and cultural backgrounds, including internally displaced persons, students with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. 

This will help improve the quality of the educational environment, the prestige of vocational education, and the general social comfort of students. 

Expected results by 2028: 175 modernized dormitories; 35,000 renovated residential spaces.

The implementation of the dormitory modernization program will not only improve students' living conditions, but will also create a multiplier effect for the economy, labor market, infrastructure development, and energy efficiency. Investments in modernization are an investment in human capital that returns through increased productivity, reduced social tension, the development of vocational education, and the preservation of labor potential in the regions.

Strategic Case

Program Goal

Main Goal: Improvement of infrastructure condition
Secondary Goal: Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities
Problems: Modernization of dormitories is an important component of the transformation of vocational (professional) education and improving the quality of life of education seekers. Currently, most dormitories in state and municipal institutions of vocational and professional pre-higher education (including separate structural units of higher education institutions financed from the state budget) are in unsatisfactory technical condition, the wear and tear of the housing stock often exceeds 70%. Housing conditions do not meet modern requirements for safety, inclusiveness, energy efficiency and sanitary standards. The situation is especially critical in regions and rural areas, where dormitories remain the only opportunity for young people to access education. The scale of the problem covers more than 300 dormitories that require major renovation, which directly affects the motivation to study, social integration of students and the overall attractiveness of vocational education. The lack of quality housing is one of the factors of the outflow of youth from the regions, the decline in the prestige of working professions and the reduction of the contingent in educational institutions. The investment approach is an appropriate and effective way to solve this problem, as it involves targeted investments in long-term infrastructure improvement, with clear quantitative results and social effect. The implementation of the program will allow not only to modernize the physical space, but also to create a comfortable, modern and safe environment that will motivate young people to stay in Ukraine, get a profession and develop their communities.
