The safety and quality education of our children is the main investment that the state can make. Therefore, for our government, this is a systematic policy. Last year, we also allocated UAH 1 billion for this procurement program. 434 school buses were purchased. Both last year and this year, priority is given to Ukrainian producers. In this way, we also support the Ukrainian economy," Shmygal said.
