According to Serhiy Babak, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Education, Science and Innovation, approximately 10% of Ukrainian schoolchildren are currently abroad or located in temporarily occupied territories. This statement comes amid ongoing conflict and its impact on the nation’s education system.
The displacement of students has raised concerns about the continuity of education and the well-being of children in affected areas. Babak’s announcement emphasizes the need for policies to support displaced students and ensure access to education despite the challenges posed by the conflict.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the education sector faces significant challenges. Babak’s comments highlight the broader implications of the conflict on the country’s educational infrastructure and the importance of addressing the needs of displaced students.
