A decree determining how much money each region will receive and what they will be spent on was adopted at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on February 26, the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine reports.

“By this decree, we, in particular, amend the existing procedure for providing subventions to support persons with special educational needs. The amendments will give local authorities more powers to redistribute subventions,” Education and Science Minister Hanna Novosad explained.
