For the first time in many years, to record the child in the garden has ceased to be a problem, says Anastasia Konovalova.
In Ukraine, there are now 881 thousand children aged 1 to 6 years, and in 2027 children of this age reduce up to 570 thousand / photo ua.depositphotos.comIn Ukraine, there are now 881 thousand children aged 1 to 6 years, and in 2027 children of this age reduce up to 570 thousand. And the kindergarten is already underneath today, said Deputy Minister of Education and Science Anastasia Konovalova in an interview with Lb.ua.
According to officials, out of 750 thousand children who are currently receiving pre -school education, 168 thousand do it in a mixed or online format, that is, in fact, most of these children do not visit kindergartens. Although she adds, “it is very important that this service exists at least in this format.”
Konovalova said that the queues in kindergarten are stored now in Kiev, and even in separate establishments. Outside of Kiev, “Gardens are not already full today”.
“In Kiev, there is still a queue in specific establishments. But if you are still ready to carry a baby, for example, to carry, today you will apply, and tomorrow you will go to the garden, even if you do not belong to preferential categories. And in fact, this situation in Kiev is probably for the first time in history,” the Minister emphasized.
She does not deny that the Kyiv program “Money goes after the child” – monetary compensation from the state to parents for payment of the child in a private garden. Because of her, she says, the service has become more accessible to parents in the private sector.
According to Konovalova, the number of preschool children decreases not the first year, “but we have never had such a catastrophe.”
“Now the kindergartens went to the kindergarten during the Covid-19 pandemic and a full-scale war. And such avid families were born during this period. And thank God we have.
She added that “there was no this flexibility before, and it is the reform of preschool education and the Law on Preschool Education, which came into force on January 1, 2025.”
