Transforming education in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine since February 2022 has been devastating, with a severe impact on many sectors, including education. Displacement, violence and disruption of essential services have taken a heavy toll on families and children.
Ukraine is home to over 5 million school-age children, and the conflict has negatively impacted their learning and well-being.
Learning resumed in mid-March 2022 through a remote and blended format of online and in-person learning. As many schools have suffered attacks, getting all children back in school is a big challenge.
As of early 2025, around 2,000 schools remain damaged or destroyed, and 1.2 million students continue to access education online.
The Ministry of Education and Science is responding to the emergency needs and planning for the next phase of recovery and development with support from a diverse set of stakeholders.
