On Monday, September 2, despite all efforts by the Russians to intimidate Kharkiv residents, 5,800 young citizens of the city sat down at desks in Kharkiv's metro school and underground school. Everything was authentic for them: school bells, notebooks with pencils, and brand-new school desks. And it didn’t matter much whether the view from the classroom window was of a schoolyard or metro trains.

By the start of the school year, the city managed to prepare educational spaces at yet another—already the sixth—station of the Kharkiv Metro. In the spring, the first underground school in the city's Industrial district was put into operation.
According to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, by the end of autumn, three more such schools will open in the Shevchenkivskyi, Osnovianskyi, and Novobavarskyi districts, which are currently under construction with city budget funds. Even more Kharkiv children will be able to truly sit at real desks.
