The interventions include, among others:

Repair of accessibility ramps for people with disabilities
Interior and exterior painting
Improvements to schoolyards, including installation of basketball and volleyball courts, as well as playgrounds in kindergartens
The €100 million funding originates from a donation by the systemic banks.
The program’s design ensures the inclusion of at least one school unit per municipality, prioritizing:
Special education schools
Units located in remote, island, and border areas
Schools in regions affected by natural disasters
Work is scheduled to commence on June 15, with the objective that the majority of interventions will be completed by the start of the new school year in September, ensuring full operational readiness.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all the relevant Ministers for their constructive and productive collaboration, as well as to the Hellenic Bank Association for this significant contribution.
