On September 1, about 25,000 first-graders will start school in the Ukrainian capital, which is close to the pre-war figures, according to the website of the Kyiv City State Administration.
“It is thanks to our work and efforts that the educational process in Kyiv has not stopped. And this is despite the fact that during the large-scale war the Russian aggressor damaged 104 educational institutions in the capital. 83 of them have already been restored, while the rest are undergoing repairs. This year, about 25 thousand first-graders will go to Kyiv schools, which is close to the pre-war figures. I believe this is a manifestation of trust in us. And the desire of parents for their children to live and study in Ukraine, in Kyiv,” said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko at an educational conference in August.
According to him, all 420 schools in the capital will start their work, the vast majority of them in a full-time format.
The mayor thanked the teachers for their work. According to Klitschko, 762 graduates received the maximum 200 points in the national multi-subject test.
