Russians have damaged every seventh school in Ukraine

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has reported that the Russian occupiers have destroyed more than 200 schools in the country and damaged another 1,600, meaning that every seventh school has suffered from the attacks.

Quote: "In terms of destroyed educational infrastructure throughout Ukraine, more than 200 schools were destroyed and over 1,600 damaged. To put that into context, every seventh school in the country has suffered damage. This unsurprisingly has negative impacts on children’s ability to access education."

Details: Stashkiv said that about 900,000 children in Ukraine are currently studying remotely because they cannot attend school.

"And in times of war, this is challenging for both teachers and students," Stashkiv concluded.
