The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has updated its approaches to distance learning. The decision is the result of systematic cooperation with communities and regions and is adapted to the needs and specifics of frontline and border areas with Russia.
Key changes:
- Class size for distance learning: up to 10 students — for institutions in temporarily occupied, frontline areas, in villages and settlements across Ukraine; up to 15 students — for institutions in other cities.
- Any type of institution can operate in a distance format if it has no more than two parallel classes.
- Special and specialized educational institutions are not subject to the requirements regarding class size.
- Even if no class is opened in a school, it can continue to operate under pedagogical patronage.
- Educational opportunities for children abroad:
- Ukrainian studies component program;
- full Ukrainian program for those who do not attend school at their place of residence;
- individual forms: external studies, family.
- Students in areas of active and possible hostilities can remain in their school — without the need to transfer to another institution.

All adapted changes regarding the specifics of distance learning will be implemented from September 1, 2025. The updated rules will allow for flexible responses to the challenges of wartime and guarantee access to quality education for all children — regardless of their location.
