As Ukrainian children continued learning through another year of war, Teach For Ukraine worked not only to meet today's urgent needs, but also to help shape the future of education in Ukraine.  Throughout 2025, we supported children in recovering learning loss, empowered teachers, and developed the next generation of education leaders. But this year also marked an important shift in our own journey. We began transforming solutions developed through our work in schools and communities into evidence, partnerships, and national initiatives that can strengthen Ukraine's education system well beyond the reach of our own programmes. This report looks back on a year of growth, partnership, and system change. It highlights the progress we've made together and the priorities that will guide our work in the year ahead. 

Україна — одна з небагатьох країн у світі, де координацію гуманітарного реагування в освіті було передано від Кластера освіти до відповідних органів державної влади, і перша, яка зробила це в умовах активної повномасштабної війни.

Іноді найважливіша розмова відбувається не з батьками або вчителями. Вона відбувається на підвіконні, у шкільному коридорі, у повідомленні, відправленому о другій ночі. Кожен четвертий підліток у складний момент звертається за підтримкою до однолітка. Якщо ми хочемо, щоб допомога була дієвою, ми маємо дати підліткам те, чого їм часто бракує: інструменти підтримки і впевненість, що вони з цим впораються.

The Hrebinka Lyceum in Kyiv Oblast has been welcoming Teach For Ukraine Fellows for several years in a row. Principal Yuliia shares how they took the leap, what surprised them — and why they keep applying again every year.

Educational losses among Ukrainian adolescents are shaped not only by disruptions to the learning process, but also by stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. This is evidenced by the findings of the study “Well-being and Learning of Adolescents in Wartime.”

Teach For Ukraine and the research agency Fama have released the results of a study examining how the full-scale war impacts the emotional wellbeing and learning of adolescents across eight frontline regions — in schools located in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Chernihiv oblasts. More than 3,400 teenagers, along with their parents, teachers and school psychologists, took part in the quantitative and qualitative stages of the research.

My name is Yuliia Skrypnyk, and I have devoted 18 years to a profession I truly love. I live and work in a frontline community, 35–40 kilometers from active hostilities.

For a group of schoolchildren from the frontline city of Nikopol, a “golden ticket” from the educational Advent calendar created by Teach For Ukraine turned into a real journey — and a rare chance to experience life beyond constant danger, if only for a few days. Today, we share what learning looks like in frontline Nikopol, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and reflect on the children’s recent trip to Kyiv.

Memes about emotions, carousel posts with tips on support, and art workshops for younger students — this is how teenagers in Liubotyn, Kharkiv region, are talking to their peers about mental health. The team of ambassadors, formed as part of the Impulse program by Teach For Ukraine, combines online content with offline activities to support their peers.
