The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank is extending at 9-year, €10 million loan to the Novopechersk School to build a new campus at Kyiv’s UNIT.City, nearly tripling enrolment to 1,200 students. Zoya Litvin, head of Osvitoria, the controlling non-profit association, says the K-12 school “will focus on STEM and IT, sectors that will develop the fastest in the future.” Litvin’s husband, Vasily Khmelnitsky, is developing UNIT.City as Ukraine’s largest hub for IT companies. Built on the 25-hectare grounds of a former motorcycle factory, UNIT.City expects to have 15,000 residents by 2025.
