When the war in Ukraine started on 24 February, the Ministry of Education declared a two-week school break. But since then, teaching has resumed.

Olha Haidai is a teacher working in the capital Kyiv. She says despite the difficulties created by war, children 鈥渁re more concentrated on the work鈥�.

She tells Newsday about one of her students who was previously uninterested in his education but since 鈥渂oth his parents are in the army now鈥� this boy decided to study鈥�. She says the boy realises that "he is the only one who is important for his education right now, and not his parents".
