“Currently, there are about half a million Ukrainian schoolchildren and students in EU countries. At the same time, millions of representatives of apprenticeships and students are starting a new school year in Ukraine today. We will make every possible effort to provide support and assistance to this category of the population, both in the EU and in Ukraine.”
On his Twitter page, the Vice President of the EC clarified that the provided funds will be used both to ensure the safety of offline learning and to support the distance education process.
“Every war is a war against children. With the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, we mark the start of the school year in Kyiv with a sense of determination. Starting today, the EU is devoting €10 million to help provide safe physical learning spaces and support Ukraine’s distance learning programme.”
In addition, according to Schinas, the European Union will provide Ukraine with all the necessary assistance in the matter of medical evacuation, and will also provide for the needs of patients from our country on the territory of Europe.
