43 kindergartens resume classes: Mykolaiv approves its education network

The Executive Committee of the Mykolaiv City Council approved the network of municipal educational institutions for the 2026/2027 school year. More than 32,500 students will receive general secondary education at 63 institutions across the city. At the start of the school year, 43 institutions had resumed preschool education, though activities remain suspended at some kindergartens.

The Mykolaiv school network will comprise:

• 2 primary schools;
• 39 gymnasiums;
• 22 lyceums.

Schools will have 51 classes offering inclusive education. The Mykolaiv Special School operates separately for children with visual impairments.

Kindergartens are resuming educational activities gradually, as the necessary infrastructure is made ready. Of the 43 institutions that had resumed activities at the start of the school year:

• 1 is a general-type kindergarten;
• 42 are combined-type institutions.

A total of 189 inclusive groups operate at 38 preschool institutions. Meanwhile, educational activities remain suspended at 27 preschool institutions.

Out-of-school learning and the development of children’s creative abilities will be provided by 7 institutions.

At the executive committee meeting where the education network was considered, Hanna Lychko, head of the Mykolaiv City Council’s Department of Education, spoke about the city’s education sector and explained how learning is being organized under current conditions.
