Four-fifths of Ukrainian refugee parents have school places for children

Four-fifths of Ukrainian parents who moved to Czechia after the Russian invasion of their country last year have secured school places for their children aged three to 17 for the coming academic year, suggests a study carried out last month by PAQ Research in cooperation with the Institute of Sociology at the Czech Academy of Sciences. Eleven percent of respondents said they did not know whether their children would enter any school. Six percent have not enrolled their children at a school and three percent said they had not been accepted.

PAQ Research said refugees who want to stay in Czechia most often have their children’s school attendance secured. Among those who plan to return to Ukraine, 60 percent of people have arranged for their offspring’s education in this country.
