Ombudsman calls for budget maintenance for educational shelters amid attacks in Kyiv and…
What happened
The Education Ombudsman stated that the security situation has deteriorated due to frequent air raid alerts in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, and other regions. The Ombudsman called for the 2027 state budget to maintain shelter funding at 2026 levels, or ideally, increase them. The current draft budget provides only UAH 3.7 billion, down from UAH 6 billion in 2026.

Why it matters
The constant alerts are forcing educational institutions to switch to remote or blended learning, which impacts educational quality and students' psychological state. The Ombudsman stressed that continued funding for preschool institutions is necessary to ensure children's access and enable parents to work, thereby supporting the national economy.
