Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko highlighted the extensive damage to educational institutions during the war, stating that 80 schools and universities in the capital were affected. At the August pedagog, he noted that 79 of these facilities remain in disrepair, underscoring the slow progress in recovery efforts. The mayor’s remarks, delivered at the pedagogical conference, reflect the ongoing struggle to restore critical infrastructure following the conflict.
The 8% figure, representing the proportion of damaged institutions still unrepaired, illustrates the prolonged nature of the reconstruction process. Educational leaders and officials present at the conference acknowledged the gravity of the situation, with a focus on securing additional funding and resources to expedite repairs. The delayed recovery has raised concerns about the long-term impact on students and the quality of education in the region.
With 79 out of the 80 damaged schools yet to be rebuilt, the mayor’s statement serves as a call to action for both local and national authorities to prioritize educational infrastructure. As the city continues to recover from the war’s devastation, the restoration of these institutions remains a key challenge in rebuilding the educational system and ensuring continuity for learners.
