The 10th underground school in Zaporizhzhia Oblast has opened its doors at Semenenko Lyceum in the Pavlivska community, the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration reports.

Ukraine’s underground classrooms provide secure spaces for students living in frontline regions to learn even during the threat of missile and drone attacks. These facilities aim to provide a sense of normalcy, protect students, and ensure education can continue uninterrupted during the war.

The school in Pavlivska is designed for 200 students, with 10 classrooms including a modern computer lab and a sports hall. An elevator ensures the facility is accessible and inclusive.

Before the new underground school opened, many students in Pavlivska had been learning remotely due to the ongoing threat of attacks in the region. 

This facility is part of Ukraine’s growing network of underground schools, providing safe education in frontline areas.

Similar schools have been built in Kharkiv, where metro stations were converted into classrooms for thousands of students.

Across Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine has already opened multiple underground schools, including missile-proof facilities designed to protect children from attacks and even potential nuclear threats.
