Zhytomyr schools switch to remote learning after Russian strike on boiler house

Change in learning format due to lack of heat

Educational institutions in Zhytomyr are temporarily switching to remote learning. This decision was made due to the lack of heating caused by a Russian strike on a boiler house that took place on the evening of 7 November.

School administrations will inform parents about these changes through official school chats.

Organisation of preschool facilities

Kindergartens, which also lack heat, are temporarily transferring children to other preschool education facilities. Directors are informing parents about the relevant organisational measures through the same chat channels.

Status of the healthcare system and utility services

Despite the lack of heating, city hospitals and polyclinics continue to operate in normal mode, so the process of providing medical care is not interrupted.

The Zhytomyr City Council assures that all relevant services are engaged in restoring heat supply. “All services are working to restore heat as quickly as possible. Crews are operating in an intensified mode,” the city hall notes, urging city residents to be patient.
