I am the Head of the Education Department of the Hostomel village council Natalia Borysivna Rokhmanyuk.
There was a gymnasium where very few students remained, and it became a branch of Lyceum number 1. Today, in Moschun now lives 63 children from 0 to 10 years old, they live directly in the community that returned back. And 48 children from 11 to 17 years old. that is, there is a great need to build an elementary school with a preschool department, since there are many small children and children aged 1st and 4th grade. Then children can take a school bus to school in Horyanka or to Lyceum number 1 in Hostomel, which is a major point for them. therefore we urgently need to have an elementary school of course.

Please tell us more about the buses that carry children to school

So, now the gostomel community has 3 school buses that we managed to get for the main institution, Lyceum number 1, which serves children living in Moschun, Horyanka, in the village of Ozera, from the branch they are brought to Hostomel to Lyceum number 1, and it also serves the territory of Hostomel itself. Since children live far away, outside the 2 kilometer zone of accessibility to school. We don't even have enough of these, just 3 buses, as today 1,700 children study at the Lyceum. We carry them in shifts, and there are 90 seats in total, we managed to do work with it, but in general we still need to work on having at least 3 more new buses.

You mentioned that there are 2000 children in total and the school can accommodate just 900, please tell us more about it.

Yes, Lyceum number 1 currently has 1,780 students, and the capacity of this institution is 900 students. before the war, the community entered the "big construction" program and a tender was already held. The community had to receive all the projects for completion to the Lyceum. this would partially solve the problem of the Glass Factory microdistrict and surrounding area. but in other microdistricts there are also 400, 200 children, in Horyanka 800 children who are forced to study in schools in Kyiv, since the school that exists today in Horyanka can accommodate a maximum of 170 children.

Начальник відділу освіти гостомельської селищної ради Наталія Борисівна Рохманюк. Тут була гімназія в якій залишилось дуже мало учнів, І вона стала філією ліцею номер 1. на сьогоднішній день а Мощуні наразі проживає, саме тут безпосередньо в громаді які повернулись, 63 дитини від 0 до 10 років. 48 дітей від 11 до 17 років. тобто є велика потреба у будівництві початкової школи з дошкільним відділенням так як багато маленьких дітей і дітей віку 1-го 4-го класу. Далі діти можуть підводитись шкільним автобусом до школи в Горянці або до ліцею номер 1 в Гостомелі який є опорним для них. тому нам конче необхідно звичайно мати початкову школу

Розкажіть будь ласка більше про автобуси якими возять дітей

Так, наразі Гостомельська громада має 3 шкільних автобуса які нам вдалося отримати на опорний заклад, ліцей номер 1, який обслуговує дітей які проживають у Мощуні, у Горянці, у селі Озера, з філії підвозяться в Гостомель до ліцею номер 1, і самій території Гостомеля. Так як діти живуть далеко, за межами 2 кілометрової зони доступності до школи. Нам не вистачає навіть цих 3 автобусів так як на сьогоднішній день у ліцеї навчається 1700 дітей. Ми їх возимо позмінно, та 90 місць в прийтик вистачає, а взагалі потрібно ще працюємо над тим щоби мати ще хоча б 3 нових автобусів.

І ви казали що 2000 дітей всього а в школа вміщає 900 розкажіть про це будь ласка.

В ліцеї в ліцеї номер 1 наразі навчається 1780 учнів, потужність цього закладу 900 учнів. до війни ми ввійшли в програму «велике будівництво» і вже відбувся тендер ми мали отримати всі проекти на добудову до ліцею це вирішило би частково проблему саме мікрорайону склозаводу і філій. але у інших мікрорайонах також проживає по 400, по 200 дітей, у Горянці 800 дітей які вимушені навчатися у школах Києва так як та школа яка існує на сьогоднішній день у Горянці максимально може прийняти 170 дітей.

Bridging Educational Gaps: Addressing Capacity Challenges in Lyceum Number 1

Lyceum number 1 stands as a beacon of education and opportunity for the community it serves. However, with a current enrollment of 1,780 students exceeding its capacity of 900, the institution is facing significant challenges. We will explain the impact of overcrowding and the community's efforts to expand educational infrastructure. We will shed light on the "big construction" program, the need for additional projects, and the plight of children in other microdistricts, such as the Glass Factory micro-district and Horyanka, who are forced to seek education in schools in Kyiv.

1. Overcrowding at Lyceum Number 1:
The ever-increasing number of students at Lyceum number 1 has stretched the institution beyond its intended capacity. With 1,780 students currently enrolled, the strain on resources and facilities is evident. Overcrowded classrooms, limited space for extracurricular activities, and the compromised learning environment pose significant challenges to both students and educators.

2. The "Big Construction" Program:
Before the war, the community embarked on the ambitious "big construction" program aimed at expanding educational infrastructure. A tender was held, and completion projects were expected to be received for Lyceum number 1. The program offered hope for alleviating the capacity issues and catering to the needs of the Glass Factory microdistrict and its surrounding areas. But then the war started…

3. The Urgent Need for Additional Projects:
While the "big construction" program showed promise, it is crucial to receive all the projects for completion at Lyceum number 1. This would serve as a partial solution to the challenges faced by the Glass Factory microdistrict and its surrounding areas. However, it is equally important to address the needs of other microdistricts, such as those around with 400 and 200 children, and Horyanka with 800 children. The existing school in Horyanka can only accommodate a maximum of 170 children, leaving many students with no choice but to seek education in schools located in Kyiv.

4. Empowering Education in Microdistricts:
Expanding the educational infrastructure in microdistricts is imperative to ensure equitable access to quality education for all children. By constructing new schools or expanding existing ones, we can create learning environments that can accommodate the growing student population. This will reduce the burden on Lyceum number 1 and provide children with the opportunity to receive education closer to their homes.

The challenges faced by Lyceum number 1 in accommodating its current student population underscore the pressing need for additional projects and expansion of educational infrastructure. The "big construction" program offered hope, but times changed, and it is crucial to receive all the projects for completion. Furthermore, addressing the needs of children in micro-districts and Villages, such as the Glass Factory and Horyanka, is paramount. By investing in education and expanding infrastructure, we can ensure equitable access to quality education, alleviate overcrowding, and provide a conducive learning environment for all students.
