NPR News Series: Kindergarten in Ukraine |
On Feb. 23, 2022, Iryna Sahan's kindergarten class at school No. 323 in Kharkiv was busy rehearsing poems for an upcoming performance. They were just months away from graduating, a ceremonial rite of passage in Ukraine's education system. Then Russia invaded.
NPR education reporter Elissa Nadworny has followed the 20 kindergarteners in that classroom over the past year. They are now attending different schools, living in different countries, and processing the war in their own ways. This series is set to begin Tuesday, April 11 during All Things Considered and air across the newsmagazines.
