The war in Ukraine has changed our lives in every way, especially in education.
Since the full-scale invasion, most schools and universities have switched to online learning. Lessons now often take place through video calls, where we study from our homes or shelters.

One of the hardest parts of studying during the war is dealing with air raids. When we hear the air-raid siren, we must immediately go to the shelter. Sometimes lessons are interrupted in the middle, and we join again later if it’s safe. Teachers are very understanding and try to support us emotionally as well as academically.

Despite all the difficulties, we continue to learn. We know that education is our future and our strength. Even when there is no electricity or internet, many students try to complete tasks using mobile data or even study with printed materials.

My name is Mariia Kazymirska. I am a student of the TNU named after V. I. Vernadskyi, group 014-U-21BZ, part-time form of study. I major in Secondary Education (014) with a specialization in Ukrainian Language, Literature, and World Literature. Despite the war and all its realities, I continue my education with dedication and hope for peace.

Education in wartime is not just about knowledge — it’s about resilience, hope, and belief in a better tomorrow.
