Hurry to get the money: parents can still register for the "Schoolchild Package"

Parents of first-graders this year can still apply to receive the School Kit. The deadline is until 1 November.

The state pays 5 000 hryvnias for purchasing items necessary for study. This was announced by Olena Kondratyuk, Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

What the funds can be spent on

The funds can be used for stationery, books, clothing, and footwear for the child.

According to Kondratyuk, this year, in the context of escalating Russian attacks, education for many students and their parents takes place in difficult conditions, so such financial assistance is timely.

Payments can be processed online via Diia or offline at the Pension Fund of Ukraine service center.

According to the Ministry of Social Policy, Families and Unity of Ukraine, as of 8 October more than 196 thousand applications have been submitted for aid. Almost 186 thousand of them have been approved.

Who can receive the School Kit

Who can apply for the aid:

one of the parents;

the adopter;

a guardian or another legal representative of the child.

Cash withdrawal of these funds or transferring them to another card is not possible.
