Schools in the Mykolaiv region will not receive a full set of paper textbooks for the 2026\/2027 school year<\/strong> for ninth-grade students<\/strong> before the start of the year. The region is missing almost 112 thousand copies<\/strong>. This was discussed during the official broadcast of the meeting<\/a> of the standing committee of the Mykolaiv Regional Council on science and education. The meeting took place on 18 August<\/strong> 2026.<\/p>\n

So far the Mykolaiv region<\/strong> has received only about 32% of the required print run<\/strong>. As the commission chair Yevhen Horburov<\/strong> explained, some of the already printed books were stored in a warehouse that was attacked by Russian forces.<\/p>\n

\n

“They hit the warehouse there, a missile struck \u2014 and that’s it,” \u2014 said Yevhen Horburov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The director of the Department of Education and Science of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration (OVA) Alla Velikhovska<\/strong> reported that the Ministry of Education and Science is aware of the problem. Funds are now being sought to reprint the required edition.<\/p>\n

At the same time, producing and delivering all the books to schools will not be completed by September 1<\/strong>. While paper copies are lacking, students and teachers will have to use electronic versions of the textbooks.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Ministry of Education and Science in response to a request from hromadske reported that as a result of Russian strikes on 19 July<\/strong> at a printing enterprise in Kyiv and on 1 August<\/strong> at a logistics warehouse in Kharkiv, about a million textbooks<\/strong> were destroyed. Print runs of books for fourth and ninth grades<\/strong> were affected, some of which had already been prepared for shipment to schools. Reprinting and delivery may take at least two months<\/strong>. From 1 September<\/strong>, electronic versions of the textbooks and their supplements are to be available on the “All-Ukrainian School Online”<\/strong> platform.<\/p>\n
