Information about the school 'Perspective'

The school named 'Perspective' was founded in February 2025 and operates without an official license. The director of 'Rancho School' Lyceum, Yana Kozhema, confirmed information about the enrollment scheme, stating that she only helped a friend place students in this school while they were waiting for their licenses.

In turn, the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office reported that law enforcement agencies are establishing the circumstances of the creation and operation of this educational institution.

The Security Service of Ukraine has also begun checking the activities at the 'Holosiyivska Pustyn' monastery. The preliminary investigation is ongoing, and the details of the case are not yet disclosed. The situation around the underground school has raised concerns in society, as the legality of educational institutions is an important aspect of educational policy in Ukraine.

This case highlights the importance of monitoring educational institutions in Ukraine, especially in the context of ensuring the quality of education and compliance with legislation.

In the face of growing challenges in the educational sphere, law enforcement agencies and state institutions responsible for monitoring educational establishments must take measures to prevent similar situations in the future.
