Abstract

On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an open-ended military invasion of Ukraine. Military actions have a catastrophically negative impact on the education sector: deaths, injuries, and psychological trauma to educators, schoolchildren, and students, damage to educational facilities. Indirect factors, such as diminished access to education and the subsequent exodus of qualified professionals from the country, are other contributors. These indirect factors are exacerbated by increasing violence directed toward pro-Ukrainian educators; reduction or complete cessation of education; and infrastructure degradation in the occupied territories. The purpose of this scoping review is to describe the scope of barriers and to sketch the scale and nature of challenges for the educational sector during war. We aim to record the most important decisions and targeted interventions to maintain education. For monitoring, we use published normative documents, secondary data, information messages from foreign and Ukrainian media, as well as representatives of Ukrainian state and local authorities.
