The Ukrainian teachers giving classes from the front line

Ukrainian teachers who are continuing to give classes nearly 17 months into Russia’s invasion are being pushed to their limits. Svitlana Dotsenko, who fled eastern Ukraine for Odesa, works remotely to teach a handful of pupils still in Kostiantynivka, just 32 kilometres from Bakhmut, scene of some of the most intense fighting of the war. She is one of more than a thousand educators from Ukraine attending a course in neighbouring Poland to take on the challenges of schooling pupils on the front line.
