In the Fursiv Lyceum in Bila Tserkva district, the construction of a civil protection facility – an anti-radiation shelter – has begun. The works are being carried out at the expense of the Fund for the Liquidation of the Consequences of Armed Aggression.

The Kyiv Regional Military Administration reported this.

What problem?

A shelter is an essential aspect of contemporary life. Furthermore, according to the Ministry of Education and Science's plan, the upcoming school year should begin with in-person classes for most students, but only under the condition that the school has a secure shelter.

The construction of an anti-radiation shelter will allow the creation of appropriate conditions for the organization of a safe, educational process for all students simultaneously.

What is the solution?

More than 400 students study at the Fursiv Lyceum. The institution has five inclusive classes, so the lyceum has installed ramps and equipped a resource room.

Currently, the most straightforward shelter functions on the educational institution's territory and can accommodate up to 50 people simultaneously. The educational process is organized in shifts.
