The planned investments cover energy efficiency, digitalization and redevelopment of educational spaces with a total area of more than 200,000 m². These measures will improve the learning environment, make schools more attractive and facilitate access to quality education, especially for children from vulnerable communities.
The agreement will enter into force once it has been ratified by Parliament.
