More than 3,000 school buildings in Ukraine are currently severely damaged or destroyed as a result of ongoing military aggression. More than a third of Ukrainian pupils only have access to distance learning. A large number of pupils do not attend school because their safety is not guaranteed: there are no shelters. Internal migration to safer parts of the country has put the education infrastructure in less war-affected regions under severe strain, some schools operate three shifts a day. Pupils and teachers are facing the problems of emotional and psychological well-being.
The following key priorities are identified in the light of these and other challenges related to education in Ukraine:
- Access to education;
- Pupils' and teachers' safety;
- Educational gaps due to inadequate education process;
- Teacher burnout and pupils’ psychological well-being.
In terms of the needs of educational infrastructure which exist today and will remain in place for the near future, Ukraine will require the multi-purpose education centers in regional centers covering an area of up to 50 kilometers.
The examination of a multitude of arguments at the competition development phase has led to a decision to develop the concept of a Multifunctional Education Center.
Multifunctional Education Center is to accommodate around 550 children of all ages, from primary school to lyceum, with facilities for temporary accommodation for pupils and teachers, spaces for community activities and psychological rehabilitation, and a dual-use shelter.

High-quality, sustainable, ready-to-localize project designs obtained via the contest will be provided free to the communities and donors. It will expedite the rebuilding of schools, saving time and resources for the country that suffered greatly from the unrighteous and cruel invasion.
