The cabinet has approved more than €14m for schools, nurseries and student housing, the government press office said. The money is for nurseries, kindergartens and schools, sports grounds and gyms, and student dormitories.

The biggest share, more than €7.2m, will go to nurseries, kindergartens and schools for new buildings, extensions, added floors and rebuilding. Most of it comes from the 2024–2027 programme for building, extending, adding floors to and rebuilding nurseries, kindergartens and schools. The government says children will learn and be looked after in better conditions.

Sports facilities get more than €4m under the programme for building and major repairs of sports grounds and gyms in state and municipal schools. The press office said schools will upgrade their sports facilities, and pupils will have better conditions for exercise and sport.

Nearly €2.7m is for renovating dormitories at state universities, under a programme of the Ministry of Education and Science. The press office said students will live in better conditions.

On July 15 this year, the government had already granted €8,987,207 for the same three areas, BTA reported.
