As a result of the unprecedented war aggression inflicted by the Russian Federation, kindergartens, schools, universities and VET institutions children’s hospitals, orphanages, dormitories are being ruthlessly destroyed and damaged. Since the beginning of the war 369 education institutions were affected, 57 of which were completely destroyed. Many students and teachers have been evacuated domestically or abroad, many are in shelters, saving their lives.
The education system data is also at risk. Hardware capacity of the Unified State Electronic Database on Education is placed at a dangerous area at Kyiv, worn out and can fail at any time.

- to provide 5000 Tablets for Ukrainian orphanages to enable access to education among the disadvantaged -
to provide access of Ukrainian students to the learning management systems;
- to consider supporting and developing the All-Ukrainian Online School platform, including providing special grants to fill primary school materials that are currently lacking, courses for educators (for example, on psychological work with children in wartime, etc.)
