What educators say

The State Service for Quality of Education will also verify the information published by "Slidstvo.Info" regarding the possible existence of an illegal educational institution in Kyiv and the likely violations in this field. "The State Service for Quality of Education of Ukraine has familiarized itself with the journalistic investigation 'Slidstvo.Info', which discusses the possible functioning of an illegal educational center in the city of Kyiv, as well as the likely violations of legislation in the field of education... The State Service for Quality of Education will conduct an inspection of the facts presented in the story," the statement said.

Representatives of the service emphasized that in the conditions of a full-scale war, any manifestations of anti-state ideology in the educational environment pose a serious challenge to national security.

Minister of Education Oksen Lisovyi also noted that the actions of the leaders and teachers related to the illegal school will be inspected. "The very fact of the existence of an underground school in Kyiv that raises children in the spirit of 'Russian peace' during the fourth year of full-scale war is a situation that has no explanations. In the capital of a state that is fighting for its own survival, this is not just unacceptable — it is a direct threat to the children and the state they live in," he emphasized.

The minister ordered a check of educational institutions where children were formally enrolled as students but were actually attending the underground school. The actions of everyone involved in this activity will be checked "separately and fundamentally".

"As a result of the inspections, concrete, strict decisions must be made regarding the organizers and individuals who directly conducted this training. This is not just about determining whether the relevant institutions have the right to provide educational services, but also about transferring materials to law enforcement agencies. In this situation, the SBU must also assess this, given that such actions may contain signs of subversive activities," the Minister of Education concluded.

According to journalists, an illegal school functioning in the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate "Holosiivska Desert" in Kyiv is forming a hostile ideology in children. It has been revealed that students in this underground school study the Russian language, which is marked in the schedule as "Slavic", sing Soviet songs, and get acquainted with Russian literature.

The situation surrounding the illegal school in "Holosiivska Desert" has caused significant resonance. Authorities and educational institutions are trying to respond to the challenges posed by anti-state activities in wartime. Further investigations and inspections focus on ensuring safety and protecting children from ideological influence, which is extremely important in this difficult time.
