Every seventh school in Ukraine has been damaged by Russians. 200 schools have been completely destroyed.

This was reported at a briefing by Deputy Minister of Education and Science Andriy Stashkiv. According to him, about 900,000 children are currently studying remotely in Ukraine.

"If we talk about the destroyed educational infrastructure in Ukraine as a whole, more than 200 schools have been destroyed, and more than 1,600 schools have been damaged. If we convert this into relative numbers, it is one in seven schools in Ukraine that have been damaged. And this certainly leads to a lack of access to education for children," the Deputy Minister said.
