The First Deputy Minister of Social Policy Daria Marchak explained how to use the funds from the 'School Package'. The money can only be spent on essential items for education and shoes, not on entertainment.
Assistance is provided for each child who has started school. Families will receive 5000 Hryvnias for each child, and sometimes even more. Applications for assistance can be submitted through the 'Diia' app or the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
'If a family can afford to buy a smartphone for a first-grader - that's very good, but these are not the critical expenses needed to support a family'
It is important for the child to be enrolled in school in order to receive support. Applications can be submitted even by parents who are currently abroad, but it is important that the child is in Ukraine. Additionally, the 'School Package' can also be received by the child's guardian.
The 'School Package' is a program that provides financial support to families starting school. The money allows for the purchase of necessary items for learning and shoes, not for entertainment, officials remind. It is important to spend these funds correctly to help children receive a quality education.
