Of the almost 1 million people from Ukraine registered for Temporary Protection and currently staying in Poland (as of July 2023), it is estimated that around 400,000– or 40% – are children aged 0-17. However, recent estimates suggest that more than half of children from Ukraine in Poland are not enrolled in the national system1. Despite lack of data on out-of-school children, it is estimated hundred of thousands2 children currently do not have access to education.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and then the displacement and large-scale disruption brought by the war have interrupted the education of thousands of children from Ukraine for over two years.
Save the Children Poland is working to ensure that all children can access uninterrupted and quality education, through both formal and informal educational opportunities.
Since the beginning of the response, we have worked alongside five local partners to provide access to learning opportunities and educational activities to over 91,100 people, including more than 78,900 children.
In Poland, we are supporting 4 Ukrainian schools and 15 Polish schools, as well as 50 Digital Learning Centers (DLCs).
