Online learning keeps children in school in wartime Ukraine
Issued on:
With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine barring millions of children from attending school, online classes are often the only link between teachers and pupils in the war-torn country, even as they contend with daily bombardments, blackouts and air raid alerts.
The war has completely shut more than 30% of schools in Ukraine, forcing teachers to continue classes online, while other schools work in mixed format. Some pupils call in from abroad, where they live as refugees.
FRANCE 24’s Robert Parsons, Pauline Godart and Raid Abu Zaideh report from a school in Zaporizhzhia, in southeastern Ukraine, which has been teaching exclusively online since the start of the war.
