Forced to protect students from the threat of Russian missiles, authorities in the eastern city of Kharkiv Ukrainian built dozens of classrooms in subway stations so that some students could return to life teaching.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, had a population of over 1.4 million before invasion of Russia in February 2022. Parts of the city are less than 32 kilometers from the Russian border. Its northern suburbs have suffered enormous damage from the war.
Schools in Kharkiv have been forced to switch to remote education during the war as some Russian missiles can hit the city in less than a minute – not enough time to get students to shelters.
On Tuesday the mayor of the city Ihor Terekhov said that 60 school classrooms have been created in Kharkiv metro stations ahead of the start of the new school year in September creating space for lifelong learning for more than 1,000 children.
“Children will be able to socialize with each other, find a common language, communicate. I absolutely support it,” says Irina Loboda, the mother of a student outside a metro station in the city center where school classrooms have been built.
