Від початку повномасштабного вторгнення понад 12 тис. працівників освіти долучилися до Сил оборони України. — Укрінформ.
This was written by the Minister of Education and Science Andriy Butenko in Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
"Today is the Day of Education Workers - a holiday of people on whose daily work depends what our children will be in the future. The educator forms a person's values long before they make their first adult decisions. From caregivers, teachers and tutors, the child learns to ask questions, check facts, hear the other and be responsible for their own choices.
He noted that in war conditions, this work requires much more than any job description implies.
"You catch up with students and students missed due to anxiety and blackouts, combine face-to-face learning with distance learning, support children whose parents are at the front, and those who have lost their homes. Despite the fatigue, you remain in the profession and next to the children - and I am deeply grateful to you for this, "Butenko stressed.
Lights will be remembered by colleagues who gave their lives for Ukraine. I congratulate educators, teachers, teacher assistants, practical psychologists, masters of industrial training, teachers, extracurricular teachers, heads of educational institutions - everyone who works in Ukrainian education, "Butenko added.
According to him, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 12,000 education workers have joined the Defense Forces.
