A chittering crowd of children wearing traditional Ukrainian vyshyvankas and vinoks (embroidered shirts and floral wreaths) poured into the schoolyard. Festively attired teachers rushed around to herd them into groups, while parents snapped photos of the special moment in their children’ lives: the start of a new school year.
Inside, their new classmates were waiting to greet them with balloons and flags, both Georgian and Ukrainian. The new pupils, numbering approximately 100, were displaced from their homes in Ukraine by the Russian invasion.
Now, just six weeks since the war began, a group of displaced Ukrainian educators, along with Georgia’s Ministry of Education, has launched a Ukrainian-language school, hosted by Public School 41 in central Tbilisi. It will teach the standard Ukrainian school curriculum in the Ukrainian language to kids across all grades.
“I can’t thank enough the administration of School 41. It is not easy to take in 100 children and also a group of new teachers,” said Olena Kukharevska, a school principal from Kyiv who teaches physics and heads the new school, at the April 11 opening ceremony.
As Kukharevska spoke, teachers – some of them also war refugees, and others Ukrainian expats who had already been living in Tbilisi – stood holding up the numbers of classes they were going to teach.
“The teachers’ mission here is not just to give an education, but to bring together children from different parts of Ukraine who are now scattered around Georgia, help them make friends with each other and with the Georgian children,” Alla Timoshenko, who will teach beginner-level math and Ukrainian language, told Eurasianet.
Since the beginning of the war, more than 4.5 million Ukrainians have fled the country. An estimated 25,000 of them have made it to Georgia, where they have found many people eager to help.
Despite the mid-April date, the Georgian staff tried to create the festive mood characteristic to the start of a school year in this part of the world. The school building was decorated with balloons; teachers and other personnel wore scarfs, headdresses, or brooches in the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag.
“This is a bittersweet moment for us,” one Ukrainian mother told Eurasianet at the opening. “My youngest son’s very first day in school is going to be here. I always imagined this day would come in our neighborhood at home in Kharkiv, but I don’t think my neighborhood exists anymore.”
“At the same time, I’m incredibly touched by the Georgians doing this for us. It’s so moving to see how everyone is trying so hard to make the kids happy,” she added. “I hope the children will ultimately remember people’s kindness, not war and explosions.”
Before the kids entered the building, music teacher Olga Rabba, a refugee from the Donbas region, took a microphone to sing Oi u luzi chervona kalyna (Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow), an early 20th-century patriotic Ukrainian tune that has become an anthem of Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion. After she finished, Georgian Education Minister Mikheil Chkhenkeli took two children by their hands and walked them into the school.
The Georgian government is footing the bill for the school and will pay the Ukrainian teachers the standard Georgian teacher salaries. While the curriculum will be identical to that they had been following at their home schools in Ukraine, the students will also study Georgian as a foreign language to help them integrate with their new Georgian schoolmates.
The Ukrainian students will study in the afternoon and evening, in a second shift after the Georgian students are done for the day.
