Slovakia allocates over 29 million euros from Modernization Fund for school renovations

Slovakia's Environment Ministry announced that more than 29 million euros from the EU Modernization Fund will be allocated for school renovations across the country. Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba revealed that in the first phase of the program, grants have been awarded to 27 cities and municipalities to modernize their educational facilities. The Modernization Fund is an EU financial instrument designed to help lower-income member states transition to climate neutrality by supporting investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and modernization projects. This funding represents a significant investment in Slovakia's educational infrastructure, addressing the need to upgrade aging school buildings while improving energy efficiency and learning environments for students.
