The report presents the results of the survey on the inclusion of displaced children from Ukraine in education across the European Union for the school year 2023-2024. Approximately 700,000 displaced children from Ukraine are estimated to be enrolled in schools from early childhood education and care to upper secondary education across the EU. The 23 Member States participating in the survey have all mobilised extensive support for students, families, teachers, and educational institutions across different levels and sectors, and over half of Member States require children from Ukraine to attend local schools. Moreover, Member States have implemented measures to support teachers working with Ukrainian pupils, including professional development and training, teaching materials and staff recruitment. National authorities report persisting challenges concerning language barriers, ensuring pupils’ well-being and providing qualified pedagogical staff for Ukrainian students. The survey results highlight the continued need for continued cooperation and information exchange at the European level.
