A draft of the 21st Government Program was officially registered on Friday, outlining significant policy shifts aimed at boosting the national birth rate. The central objective of the program is to restructure the existing system of child benefits, ensuring that families do not experience a loss of income when welcoming a new child. To achieve this financial stability, the plan involves substantial enhancements to financial support structures.
Specific measures include increasing existing childcare allowances and general child allowances. Furthermore, the program intends to broaden support networks to benefit families with multiple children, single parents, and those caring for children with disabilities. Beyond direct financial support, the draft introduces provisions for improving the quality of early education.
A key commitment is the introduction of free primary school meals for all children by the end of 2027, with an emphasis on providing nutritionally healthy food options. Additionally, the financing model for daycare centers is slated for comprehensive review. This review will account for macroeconomic shifts, specifically factoring in increases to the minimum wage and fluctuations in consumer goods and services pricing.
The goal of this reassessment is to guarantee that the childcare network provides consistent coverage across the entire national territory. These proposed adjustments represent a multi-faceted governmental effort to support the welfare of families and their children.
