Teachers from occupied regions who agree to teach Russian programs may be prosecuted.
Teachers in the temporarily occupied territory can be held accountable for collaborating with the aggressor country. In particular, if teachers start teaching subjects according to Russian educational programs. This was said by the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Education, Science and Innovation Serhiy Babak at a briefing on Wednesday, August 31.
“Teachers who try to start studying in Russian programs are equated with collaborators under our law and are subject to the Criminal Code of Ukraine with all the negative consequences,” he said.
The parliamentarian emphasized that this does not apply to children, because “children at a young age do not understand what is happening.” He also added that the authorities understand that parents can be intimidated, and that children attend school under duress.
Babak mentioned that most of the teachers in the communities in the occupied territory refused to cooperate with the occupiers.
According to him, there are approximately 1,300 schools in the temporarily occupied regions. These schools will remain online for now.
It should be noted that the State Bureau of Investigation explained how officials in the temporarily occupied territories should not be collaborators.
In addition, a thousand cases against collaborators were opened in Ukraine. 174 people have received notification of suspicion of committing a crime.
