    Ukrainian Mother Shares Shocking Costs of Preparing First Grader for School

    A Ukrainian mother has highlighted the significant financial burden faced by families as they prepare their children for the upcoming school year. In a recent video, she detailed her experience of equipping her son for first grade, revealing that basic necessities alone amounted to approximately 13,000 Ukrainian Hryvnia. The mother explained that this sum covered essential items such as stationery, a backpack, two pairs of shoes, and initial clothing, noting that warmer attire for colder weather would be an additional expense. She emphasized that she opted for mid-range priced goods, not the most expensive options available. Expressing concern for other families, particularly those with multiple children or those relying on minimal wages, she stated, "I understand we raise children for ourselves and don't need anything from the state, but I'm a bit shocked by these prices." The video sparked a lively discussion among viewers, with many parents sharing similar financial challenges. One commenter reported spending "25,000 UAH already, and warm clothes haven't been bought yet" for their daughter, while another mentioned a cost of "about 45,000 UAH for two children." Some comments also referenced state assistance, with one user noting a "5,000 UAH aid from the state for one of the parents, starting from August 13th," and another pointing out that "in Poland, they give aid for stationery purchases." The widespread response underscores the ongoing public conversation about the affordability of education essentials.
