UK apologises to Ukrainian child refugees told to study Russian
Original: UK apologises to Ukrainian child refugees who were told to study Russian https://www. theguardian.com/education/2026 /no
The UK government has apologised after Ukrainian child refugees in British schools were told to study Russian for their GCSE language qualifications instead of Ukrainian. The decision drew criticism for asking children who fled Russian invasion to learn the language of the aggressor, prompting ministers to reverse course and apologise.
Why now: The apology highlights a sensitive misstep in supporting refugee children from Russia's war in Ukraine.
