Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, began the school year on Monday (2) in makeshift classrooms in metro stations that serve as shelters against Russian missiles.
Kharkiv schools were forced to switch to online learning during the war, as some Russian missiles can reach the city in less than a minute – not enough time to travel from classrooms to shelter.
Classes in metropolitan spaces are well received by many parents, who say it is important for children to interact and also stay safe.
Three more underground schools are being built and will accommodate more than 2,000 children. Local authorities said they plan to open underground schools in each district of the city.
Kharkiv has been the focus of Russian bombing throughout the war.
A Russian attack on Saturday (31) killed two people and injured ten others, including children, in a village in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, according to the region’s governor.
Another similar attack on the central regional city of Kharkiv killed seven people on Friday (30), according to local authorities.
