This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to the UN children agency Unicef, only a third of Ukraine’s schoolchildren currently study in-person, amid continuing deadly Russian missile and drone attacks as well as shelling.
Many of those pupils have been forced to attend classes in underground metro stations and other makeshift shelters - often without proper heating.
Last week, the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency said many schools in the 27-member bloc were struggling to integrate children who have fled the war in Ukraine.
In Sunday’s post on social media, the Kharkiv mayor announced that “it is here that we plan to build the first underground school in Ukraine”.
Last month, more than 1,000 Kharkiv pupils started their new school year at five underground stations that were turned into the so-called “metro-schools”.
Local residents even witnessed fierce street fighting in the city - when Russian troops attempted to capture Kharkiv.
