Educational Ombudsman Sergei Gorbachev said that some of the educational institutions on the territory of Ukraine do not have shelters or have those that are no longer suitable or even dangerous for use.. He spoke about it on Facebook..

Gorbachev noted that on September 1, training can only be resumed in those buildings that have bomb shelters in good condition..

“Unfortunately, the war showed that in some educational institutions there are either no bomb shelters at all, or they are not suitable, and even dangerous for people to stay in them.. But still they are used, despite their condition,” wrote the Ombudsman..

At the same time, he added that in the presence of shelter, it is important to take into account its capabilities.. That is, for how many people the room is designed.

“It is necessary to draw up a schedule so as not to exceed the simultaneous presence of participants in the educational process in an educational institution in accordance with the possibilities of shelter. So that during an air raid in the shelter everyone who is at that moment in the educational institution could be accommodated at the same time, ”Gorbachev stressed..

According to him, it is already now necessary to think about preparing or improving shelters in educational institutions in order to be able to organize safe full-time or blended learning..

According to the Ombudsman, despite the Russian war against Ukraine, children need to return to the educational process in person in those territories where the security situation allows, instead of continuing distance learning.

“After all, face-to-face communication with peers and teachers will help our children return to normal life again, this will contribute to their psychological rehabilitation, and the effectiveness of face-to-face education has already been proven by scientists,” he explained..

In addition, Gorbachev emphasized the importance of training children on how to behave in a shelter and what to take with them when moving to them.. According to him, it is also necessary to conduct training evacuations directly to the bomb shelter..
