Center for Education in Emergencies Research

The Center was established within KSE Institute in response to educational losses caused by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It researches education in crisis conditions, provides comprehensive support to educational institutions, develops inclusive digital learning solutions, and contributes to shaping national and local policies aimed at strengthening the resilience of the education system. In 2024–2026, the Center operates within the MYRP program funded by the global Education Cannot Wait (ECW) fund.
