Prime Minister: UAH 1.1 billion to be allocated for accessibility measures in regions

The Government continues to implement the principle of “build back better,” directing funds towards inclusivity, accessibility, and quality education. This was emphasised by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Cabinet meeting on 11 June.

According to him, the Government has decided to allocate an additional UAH 1.1 billion to regions for accessibility measures.

“This involves current and capital repairs of infrastructure facilities, as well as residential and public buildings. We are allocating these funds to ensure barrier-free access to such facilities for people with disabilities and other low-mobility groups,” Denys Shmyhal stressed.

He also noted that a decision was made today to allocate UAH 370 million to regions for the establishment of modern educational spaces and STEM laboratories.

“This way, we are enabling our children to gain modern, in-demand knowledge in appropriate conditions,” the Prime Minister underscored.

Denys Shmyhal also stated that this year, over UAH 11 billion would be directed towards equipping shelters in schools, with an additional UAH 2 billion allocated for the purchase of school buses.
