The new primary school will stand on U Hostavického potoka street; besides classrooms it will have a canteen, a gym and outdoor grounds, and is due to open in two years.

A temporary school in Travná will bridge the gap.

The share of six-year-olds with a deferred start dropped from 24.1 % in September 2021 to 17.7 % in September 2025; last year deferral applied to just under 21 thousand children.

The second announcement is a pavilion for 73 clients with Alzheimer's disease. The city announced both together; the scale behind them comes from the Prague 5 town hall.
