Starting from 2019, private schools can cover a part of their costs using funds from the state budget. On 27 February 2019, the Government enacted amendments to the procedure and terms for granting the education subsidy from the state budget to local budgets (the procedure and terms were approved by the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 6 of 14 January 2015). According to these amendments, local self-government bodies shall transfer a part of the education subsidy to private schools. According to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the allocation in the state budget for this subsidy in 2019 is equal to UAH 210 million. These funds will be distributed among 219 private intermediate schools.

The Analytical Centre of the Association of Ukrainian Cities has analyzed these amendments.
