Anonymous telegram channels and Russian media report that the academic year should allegedly start in all educational institutions offline. Like, parents are trying in vain to protest such a decision. It is not true.

There is no mandate for compulsory full-time education. The educational process in full-time format will take place only if there are bomb shelters in educational institutions. The final decision on the format of training is made by the military-civilian administration with the participation of parents. Parents of schoolchildren have the opportunity to choose the form of education for their children - assessment or distance learning, or an individual study schedule, external or family education.

As StopFake writes, propagandists also spread a fake message that all educational institutions are allegedly the place of deployment of the Ukrainian military. Therefore, they are likely targets of the Russian army and it is dangerous to send children there.

Thus, the propagandists manipulate the emotionally sensitive topic of children's safety during the war and try to undermine Ukrainians' trust in the authorities.
