Ukrainian authorities reported one thousand two hundred educational institutions had been destroyed since the start of Russia’s war on 24 February.
In the Jitomir region, the attacks have destroyed 70 schools, which, according to Costa, present different levels of destruction.
“We will focus our support on a specific region, Jitomir, where we already have a mapping study of schools where we can intervene,” the education minister, who is participating in the Lugano Conference in Switzerland told Lusa.
According to Costa, the preparatory project for the reconstruction of the schools “has already started,” in a joint project of the Portuguese government and ministry of education, through Parque Escolar, with the Ukrainian authorities.
