Ukraine's first underground school will be built in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov has said.
"Such a shelter will allow thousands of children to continue their in-person education safely even during missile threats," he said.
Rocket attacks hit the Kharkiv region again on a regular occurrence.
Ukraine says more than 360 educational facilities have been destroyed and over 3,000 damaged since the start of 2022.
According to the UN children agency Unicef, only a third of Ukraine's schoolchildren currently study in-person, amid continuing deadly Russian missile and drone attacks as well as shelling.
Many of those pupils have been attending classes in underground metro stations and other makeshift shelters - often without proper heating.
The EU's Fundamental Rights Agency last week said that, many schools in the 27-member bloc were struggling to integrate children who have fled the war in Ukraine.
There are currently about 1.3 million Ukrainian children in the EU.
