More than 2.4 million refugees from Ukraine have reached Poland, fleeing the Russian invasion, and among them many children of school age.
If some families decide not to enroll their children in Polish schools, out of hope that the war will end soon, or if some children continue to take online lessons from their schools in Ukraine, nearly 180,000 young Ukrainians have already joined Polish schools, since the beginning of the war.
A major challenge for schools, especially in large cities.
