🏫Russians restrict access to education for children in the temporarily occupied territories, — Amnesty International.

Ukrainian pupils in the temporarily occupied territories are being forced to learn and sing the Russian anthem in class. Those who refuse are threatened with being taken away from their parents for "re-education in Russian orphanages," according to the results of Amnesty International's research.

In addition, families from the temporarily occupied territories said that the schools that reopened after the occupation do not have enough qualified teachers, and children are left to read textbooks in class on their own. This affects the quality of education and discipline.

Residents of the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by Russia are being repressed for seeking to continue their Ukrainian education, and some parents are forced to hide their children.

“The occupying authorities must immediately stop intimidating local people, coercing teaching staff into undertaking inappropriate educational activities, and other abusive practices. During war or occupation, all parties remain bound by international humanitarian and human rights law. Ensuring children’s right to access to quality education is one such duty, and it must be fully respected,” the AI states.
