Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science has ordered schools with access to bomb shelters to deliver in-person education.

Concerns about children's attainment levels and children’ personal development prompted the ministry to take dramatic action by investing hundreds of millions of pounds to construct underground schools across eight frontline regions.

Kharkiv, Ukraine 's second largest city, is just 18km from the Russian border.

More than 2,200 of city's grade 1 to 11 pupils now attend classes in six underground train stations.

Pupils from 27 schools share the spaces, attending daily classes for four hours .

Save The Children UK has provided students with tablets, learning software and headphones.
