Ukraine students return to school amid ongoing war
More than 3.5 million students have returned to school in Ukraine for the new academic year, despite the ongoing conflict. Nearly 250,000 children are entering the school system for the first time.
Educational infrastructure has been significantly impacted by Russian strikes. In Kyiv alone, 107 educational facilities were damaged this year. To ensure safety, local authorities determine teaching methods based on the availability of bomb shelters. Approximately 82 percent of schools conducting in-person instruction have access to a shelter.
As a result of security concerns, 2,500 schools are utilizing hybrid learning models, while 1,300 schools have moved to exclusively remote instruction. In some regions, such as Kharkiv, learning is restricted to a very small number of underground facilities.
The curriculum is also adapting to the wartime reality; high school students are being introduced to a 'Defense of Ukraine' subject, which includes instruction on drones, first aid, and emergency management.
