Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, over 4,000 schools in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed, as reported by @SarahBrownUK. This has led to erratic and disrupted remote learning for students from bomb shelters, homes on the frontline, or even outside Ukraine. In Kharkiv, a new underground school, devoid of natural light and windows, is under construction to accommodate the mere 5% of students attending in-person classes amidst air sirens. The war has profoundly impacted Ukrainian teenagers, altering their daily lives and shattering their dreams. Nearly a million children are studying remotely, with another million experiencing a mix of in-person and online classes due to air raid alarms. The educational and developmental losses for this generation are significant, highlighted in a story by @IKoshiw with photos by Sasha Maslov for @FT. Ukrainian teens like Marharyta Chykalova and Andrii Nonka, now in Poland, are emblematic of the struggle to build new lives while coping with the psychological effects of the conflict, as captured by photojournalist @pollybraden.
