More than 200,000 students in Ukraine are currently studying online, Education and Science Minister Oksen Lisovyi said.

He made the statement in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Ukrinform reports.

"We have more than 200,000 students studying online for various reasons. The most important group for us, which we are working with and investing in, is in frontline regions. These are children who would like to study offline, but security requirements do not allow it. Some children, or their parents, consciously choose to remain in online education. This applies to families of internally displaced persons who choose to continue online to finish their schooling at their home school," Lisovyi said.

According to him, most of these students are from the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

He also noted that around 60,000 children currently abroad continue their Ukrainian education online.
