The source says that the education of five million children has been disrupted due to the invation in Ukraine. Many schools have been damaged due to war weapons and explosions. Parents are very worried and concerned on sending their children to school during a time like that. The UNICEF is finding a way to give children an education and rescue them from the danger.

The impact of the conflict only compounds the two years of education lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and more than eight years of war for children in the east of the country.

UNICEF issued the appeal on the International Day of Education, which is marked annually on 24 January.

No 'pause button'

Schools provide a crucial sense of structure and safety to children, said Afshan Khan, the agency's Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia. Missing out on learning could have lifelong consequences, he warned.

"There is no pause button. It is not an option to simply postpone children's education and come back to it once other priorities have been addressed, without risking the future of an entire generation," said Mr. Khan.

Attacks affect education

Thousands of schools, pre-schools and other education facilities in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed due to the use of explosive weapons in the war, including in populated areas.

At the same time, many parents and caregivers are reluctant to send children to school, fearing for their safety.

UNICEF is working with the Government to help get children back to learning - whether in classrooms, when deemed safe, and through online or community-based alternatives.

While nearly two million children were accessing online learning opportunities, and 1.3 million children enrolled in a combination of in-person and online learning, recent attacks against electricity and other energy infrastructure have caused widespread blackouts that also have affected education.

As a result, almost every child in Ukraine has been left without sustained access to electricity, meaning that even attending virtual classes is an ongoing challenge.

Concern for child refugees

The situation for children who have fled the country is also concerning. An estimated two out of three Ukrainian refugee children are not currently enrolled in host country education systems, UNICEF reported.

Some of the factors driving this include stretched education capacities, while many refugee families have opted for online learning, instead of attending local schools, as they had hoped to be able to return home quickly.

"UNICEF will continue working with the Government of Ukraine and the host countries' Governments to deliver solutions to help children in conflict areas and those who have been displaced from their homes to continue their education," said Mr. Khan.

Support in Ukraine and beyond

UNICEF is calling for an end to attacks on education facilities and other civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, and for increased support to ensure children have access to offline learning materials and supplies. This will enable students to continue their education, and remain connected to their peers and teachers.

Support for Ukraine's recovery plan, and efforts to rebuild and rehabilitate schools and preschools, is also needed.

In refugee-hosting countries, UNICEF is calling for prioritization of the integration of Ukrainian refugee children into national education systems, especially for early childhood and primary education.

"It is important that relevant authorities identify and overcome regulatory and administrative barriers that hinder children's access to formal education across all levels and provide clear and accessible information to refugee families," the UN agency said.

UNICEF added that where access to the education system cannot be immediately ensured, host countries must provide "multiple pathways to learning", especially for secondary school age children.

Peace and development

The International Day of Education was established in 2018 and celebrates the role of education in advancing peace and development.

The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO), the lead agency for the Day, has dedicated this year's edition to the women and girls of Afghanistan, who have been deprived of their fundamental right to education in the wake of the Taliban takeover in August 2021.

Afghan girls are prohibited from going to secondary school, while a decree announced last month bans young women from attending university.

This source is about the draft that is occuring in Ukraine to help fight the war against the Russian invasion. Ukraine's military still needs more men to boost its capabilites, and about 60-100 Ukranian soldiers are dying on the battlefield every day. Therefore, Ukrainian ministers are considering drating all men under 60 to fight.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine appears to have no end in sight. As the war approaches its ninth month, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been killed. One-fourth of Ukraine's total population is displaced, and several towns, cities, and villages have been destroyed. Meanwhile, over 70,000 Russian soldiers have died. Despite this devastation, the invasion continues.

When the war began, the media engaged in analyzing each and every development. Ukraine made the front page of every newspaper, and routine segments of popular talk shows were devoted to the war.

But as the war continues, its coverage has slowly been overcome by other issues. For example, in the United States, the rising costs of food and gas, inflation, and the possibility of a recession have taken precedence over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many Americans also shifted attention to the midterm elections.

Nonetheless, recent polls show that Ukraine is still very much supported by most American government officials, politicians, and pundits. The American public also heavily supports it.
Sampling Public Opinion
According to the Pew Research Center, 55 percent of Americans surveyed in May 2022 were extremely concerned about the possibility of a Ukrainian defeat. Twenty-eight percent of respondents said they were somewhat concerned that Russia could potentially take over Ukraine. Similarly, 31 percent of Americans believed that the United States was not doing enough to aid Ukraine, while 35 percent believed that the United States was doing just enough.

As the war has progressed, however, the number of concerned Americans has decreased. In September 2022, only 38 percent of Americans surveyed were extremely concerned about the possibility that Ukraine could lose the war-a seventeen percentage point decrease from May. In addition, 18 percent of respondents believed the United States was not doing enough to aid Ukraine, a decrease of thirteen percentage points from May 2022.

While the decrease in American concern might be alarming, there is a larger story to be told. In the early months of the war, the Russians gained ground on three fronts in Ukraine. Russia had taken the southern province of Kherson, was launching an invasion in the north through Sumy, and was expanding its hold on the occupied territories in eastern Ukraine. But as the international community began to pile more stringent sanctions on Russia and provide greater assistance to Ukraine, the Ukrainians were able to launch a successful counteroffensive.

Over the summer months, the Ukrainians forced the Russians out of northern Ukraine. Ukraine reclaimed all of the occupied territory in the north, thus successfully nullifying one of Russia's fronts in the war. Since then, Ukraine has reclaimed territory in eastern and southern Ukraine. The major eastern province of Kharkiv was successfully defended, and there are rumors Ukrainian forces may soon reclaim Kherson before the winter months.

It is possible that concern within America has decreased not because of a lack of interest in the war. Rather, it may be because Americans are confident Ukraine will win. (The decrease in the figures between May and September was not specified in the Pew Center poll.)
"Whatever It Takes, as Long as It Takes"
This theory is supported by other polling centers and news outlets. According to a poll conducted by the University of Maryland in October 2022, 60 percent of individuals surveyed stated that they were prepared to " pay high energy costs to help Ukraine." In the same poll, 48 percent of respondents stated that Russia was losing the war.

Other organizations and news outlets, such as the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Reuters, and , have reported similar findings, stating that the majority of Americans were ready to continue aiding Ukraine. In light of the findings of these various polls and their differing sample sizes and populations surveyed, it is possible to suggest that the United States has a consensus on Ukraine: Americans believe their country should continue to do whatever it takes to help Ukraine in its time of need. Americans are also committed to helping Ukraine as long as it takes.

A recent Gallup Poll best showed this position. According to the poll results, 66 percent of Americans support Ukraine in reclaiming its lost territory, even if that means a prolonged war with Russia. In the same survey, 26 percent of Republicans, 35 percent of independents, and 44 percent of Democrats surveyed stated the United States was providing the right amount of aid to Ukraine. An additional 30 percent of Republicans, 35 percent of independents, and 46 percent of Democrats believed the United States was not doing enough for Ukraine. In other words, 56 percent of Republicans, 70 percent of independents, and 90 percent of Democrats believed that the United States should continue providing aid to Ukraine.

Overall, numerous polls and news outlets throughout the United States have surveyed the American public to try to understand society's opinion about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite the diverse interests and backgrounds of the participants, most Americans still strongly support this Eastern European state. The polling figures suggest that the United States is ready to help Ukraine win its war until the bitter end, no matter the costs. This bodes well for Ukraine.
