Mid-year review of education for children displaced by the conflict in Ukraine at the start of the 2023-2024 Academic Year

The mid-year review of the 2023-24 academic year on school enrolment of displaced Ukrainian children shows a mixed picture. In Ukraine, the education system has demonstrated remarkable resilience, thanks in part to close coordination and cooperation with humanitarian and development actors. Some progress has also been made in host countries toward enrolling these children into educational systems. But there are real challenges to reaching full enrollment in some countries more than others. While all governments demonstrate a clear commitment to children’s education, whether in person or online, the former approach must remain a priority. In a shrinking funding environment, education must be adequately funded to support children’s resilience, as well as promote integration and social cohesion in host countries.
