Inspection of the underground school in Ukraine
The Minister of Education and Science, Serhiy Lisovyi, announced an inspection of schools attended by students of the underground school operating near the monastery of the Moscow church in Ukraine 'Holosiivska Pustyn'. This decision was made as a result of an investigation by journalists that uncovered facts about the activities of this institution. The underground school teaches over 60 children, who receive education from first to ninth grade, and employs 16 teachers.
The director of this school is Anna Bolhova. According to information, the school 'Perspektiva' began its operations in February 2025. In connection with these events, the Security Service of Ukraine has also started an inspection regarding possible cases of illegal activities related to the functioning of this school. The State Service for Quality of Education has started checking the facts presented in the journalistic investigation.

This inspection aims to clarify the circumstances that led to the functioning of the underground school and to ensure compliance with educational standards in Ukraine.
