The Department of Education and Science of the Kyiv City State Administration, in collaboration with the Kyiv Educational Agency, has launched a documentary film anthology titled «Education of Kyiv. Notebook of War», dedicated to the educational sector's efforts during the large-scale war. The premiere took place at the Borys Hrinchenko Kyiv University during the Department's final board meeting.

«We take pride in how the educators of Kyiv managed to maintain the learning process amidst rocket fire, blackouts, and cold. Currently, we are working together to create a modern, energy-independent, and safe educational system ready for any challenges. This film is about us, our city, and our resilience. May it serve as a symbol of gratitude to every teacher, leader, and worker in the education sector who has not given up and strives to achieve the impossible every day,» said Valentyn Mondriivskyi, Deputy Head of the KCSA, in his welcoming speech.

Since the onset of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation, 156 educational institutions have been damaged in Kyiv. The film captures poignant stories of educators who defended their homeland, worked in shelters, evacuated children, assisted civilians and military personnel, sewing uniforms and preparing food, and taught students even during active combat.

In 45 minutes, the film narrates life and work in wartime, the formation of unique safety and pedagogical experiences, and a new level of responsibility within the educational community.

A special segment of the film is dedicated to the memory of Badri Lolashvili, the deceased director of the Kyiv Educational Agency. He defended Ukraine in 2014 as part of the 72nd brigade. Following the full-scale war's onset, Badri rejoined the 72nd brigade to protect Kyiv. On March 13, 2022, he fell in Moshchun. By the decision of the Kyiv City Council, his name has been bestowed upon the Kyiv Professional College of Art and Design.
