Ukrainian children mark the first day of the new school year, known as 'Day of Knowledge’. Many children in Kharkiv don’t go to school as their parents fear for their safety due to the city’s proximity to the Russian border. While some schools are equipped with shelters, several other pupils study in classrooms set up underground in the city's metro crossings. For school year 2023/24 - the second since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine - most schools in Ukraine resumed on 01 September, except for those in territories close to the front lines, which will implement online teaching. The Day of Knowledge is celebrated annually on 01 September as the traditional starting date of the new school year, mainly in Russia and former Soviet countries. EPA/SERGEY KOZLOV
