Supporting educational establishments with high risk of drop-outs

The objective of this investment is to increase the capacity of the early-childhood education system by providing crèches to improve access and participation in standard early-childhood education and care services. This investment includes the construction, equipment and operationalisation of 110 energy-efficient crèches at national level, providing a standard early-childhood education service per every 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants, for up to 4,500 children. The 110 crèches will have a capacity of 50-110 places (hosting 2, 3 or 5 groups). It is expected that 1 large crèche, 2 medium crèches and 107 small crèches will be built.

The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025. The contracts have been signed and the implementation is ongoing.
