As Ukrainian students head back to school, in-person learning in wartime presents sobering challenges.
Pupils of the first grade attend the first lesson of the new school year in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Sept. 1, 2023.Ukrainian children are going back to school today but for the majority of them, that doesn't mean going back to class.
"A school in the subway is starting to work in our city," Bandura continued, adding that they remain uncertain exactly how they'll make it work. "This is the first experience not only for our city, but for Ukraine in general," she said. "We hope there will be no power outages… And with just one tablet and two kids, someone will have to work on their phone at times," Bandura said.
"Our school has a renovated bomb shelter, a separate room for each class, so in case of an air raid sirens, not only they can wait till they finish but also conduct half-time lessons, which was the case last spring," Oksana Hryshyna, the mother of a 13-year-old in Kyiv, told ABC News. "I hope there will be no need to change the format."
