Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ukraine war: First underground school to be built in Kharkiv
Kharkiv, with a population of around 1.4 million, is Ukraine’s
second-largest city located only 30km from the Russian border. The city has
been heavily attacked by Russia since the beginning of the invasion in February
2022. When the new school year started last month, over 1,000 students attended
five underground stations. They study in two shifts, at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm in
the so-called metro-schools, where there is no appropriate education or heating
equipment for schoolchildren. As the city is committed to continuing to provide
education to all students despite the limited budget, it is going to build an
underground school for more schoolchildren in a better environment. Since Russia’s
invasion started, over 360 educational facilities have been destroyed in
Ukraine and only a third of schoolchildren study in person. How long will
Ukraine’s students have to endure such hardship?
Read the article and learn about how Russia’s invasion has been
affecting school education in Ukraine.
