Now the war in Ukraine poses more dire challenges for education. Since February 24, 2022, 363 kindergartens and schools have been destroyed and 2,246 damaged in Ukraine, and the numbers continue increasing. The eastern part of Ukraine, including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Mykolayiv, and Kherson Oblasts, faces the highest level of damage. Local governments work to restore conventional education, and the humanitarian sector plays a vital part in assisting students, particularly those displaced by the war. According to UNICEF, half of Ukrainian children — nearly 2 million students — rely on online learning either exclusively or partially, with many facing issues such as online learning fatigue and unstable internet connections, particularly in conflict zones.
