Summary at a Glance

As of October last year, it said approximately 151,000 school-aged Ukrainian refugee children were enrolled in Polish schools but Save The Children says between 21,000 and 143,000 could still be missing despite a new Polish mandate making education compulsory for them all.

Save The Children says that children seeking refuge from the Roma community often face discrimination and struggle to access services, making them among the most vulnerable group of refugees seeking sanctuary in Poland.

Save The Children says 7.5 million children have been affected by the war in Ukraine.

The charity says the war has disrupted the education of about four million children across Ukraine, with about 600,000 students learning remotely due to the ongoing risk of attacks.

She hosted a music therapy workshop with Ukrainian Roma children aged between three and 12 before meeting a group of 15 to 18-year-olds at a library set up by teachers who had fled Ukraine.
