Posted on

Education is the right of every child. As the 2024/2025 school year approaches, UNHCR is supporting the Ministry of Education’s outreach campaign to Ukrainian parents on recent changes and solutions for the education of students arriving from abroad, including children and youth who are Ukrainian citizens.

Students will be able to take advantage of:

  • Study in a preparatory unit
  • Assistance from a teacher’s assistant speaking the language of the country of origin
  • Support from an intercultural assistant
  • Free additional Polish language classes
  • Additional remedial classes in specific subjects
