Why education remains Ukraine's most resilient act of defiance
In short: The Russian invasion has physically leveled hundreds of schools, yet it hasn't silenced the pursuit of knowledge. Zoya Lytvyn shares a first-hand account of evacuating Kyiv and explains how Ukrainians are maintaining their educational systems under bombardment.
Education leader Zoya Lytvyn explores the persistence of learning during active warfare. Despite the destruction of physical infrastructure, the focus remains on ensuring children can still learn even while facing starvation in shelters or living in refugee camps.
Lytvyn frames this educational continuity as a form of resistance. By refusing to let the invasion halt curiosity and teaching, the act of schooling becomes a way for Ukrainians to remain undefeated against the destruction of their future.
