This crisis is impacting the quality of education in a major Ukrainian educational hub.

"We've had this situation for five, seven, ten years," explains an interviewee in a recent TikTok video. "We're reaching a point where there won't be anyone left to teach." He further explains that while there are many qualified candidates, they are not choosing to work in schools. The shortage highlights the challenges facing Ukraine's education system, particularly in the wake of the ongoing conflict. Efforts are needed to attract and retain teachers, ensuring the continued education of Lviv's students. Addressing this issue is crucial for the future of the city and the country.
