Russia's military aggression in Ukraine significantly affected the education process. The new academic year in full-time format will begin only in those educational institutions that are equipped with shelters.

Educational Ombudsman Sergei Gorbachev, in his interview to Hromadske, said that schools should already teach teachers how to correctly evacuate children to shelter during an air raid.

“To conduct such training properly is the responsibility of the educational institution. Children and teachers should know: where and how to go, how to be there, how to get out, how it all should happen. Now there are no children in schools. But teachers are gradually returning to work from vacations.. Therefore, it is already possible to conduct training and education of teachers, to prepare them for the fact that children will come, and they should be taught,” he stressed..

The Ombudsman also noted that in schools where offline learning is planned, it is necessary to make a highly visible and understandable navigation system around the premises.. He also told how you can test its effectiveness..

“I recommend that parents conduct a simple experiment: ask someone to enter the school with you. Close your eyes and let this person take you where you don't know. And then open your eyes and look around - if you didn’t immediately understand where you are and where you need to go to the exit, this means that the signs need to be made more understandable, ”Sergey Gorbachev explained.

As for the possibility of holding lessons in shelters, according to the Ombudsman, it is worth considering each school separately..

" In my opinion, it all depends on the conditions in the shelter at the educational institution, the number of children present there. If there is such an opportunity, I would ask my colleagues to work as much as possible. But to demand from a teacher that he must conduct classes in the basement during an alarm is too much, ”he said..
