Ukraine: Impact of conflict on education

Since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, conflict has affected an estimated 5.7 million school-aged children in Ukraine (ages 3–18). Displacement, the damage and destruction of educational facilities, and a lack of access to technology and internet connection have seriously affected students’ ability to learn and caused significant challenges to the reopening of schools. 

This report aims to highlight the impact of the conflict on education within Ukraine and the main challenges the education system will face in the next school year - set to start on 1 September.
