It is also proposed to provide that in case of demand and lack of places for preschool education in communal educational institutions, their founders, at the expense of the relevant local budgets and in accordance with the procedures approved by them, are obliged to:
- purchase relevant educational services from other educational entities; fully or partially compensate parents for funds paid for their children's preschool education;
- otherwise ensure the financing of children's preschool education according to the principle "money follows the child".
Addition
On July 14, the Cabinet of Ministers approved an increase in childbirth assistance: the one-time payment will increase to 50 thousand hryvnias, instead of 10, and monthly support for expectant mothers without work experience - to 7 thousand UAH. In addition, families will be able to receive additional monthly assistance if parents return to work after the child is 1 year old.
However, the Verkhovna Rada supported the resignation of Denys Shmyhal from the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine, which automatically meant the resignation of the entire government, as well as the withdrawal of draft laws that were submitted by the government to the Verkhovna Rada.
