I write this as a school principal whose lessons often take place not in classrooms, but in underground shelters. Where children hold their notebooks beneath concrete ceilings, and teachers finish explanations under the sound of sirens. We could not wait for better times — we had to protect learning here and now.
This is how Bookvik AI was born — not as a trend, but as a lifeline for our students. AI became the assistant who continues the lesson when a teacher cannot, who explains a concept during a blackout, who supports a child who has been forced to flee abroad.
When our students passed the Cambridge Math Checkpoints with AI guidance — even though their teacher doesn’t speak English — I knew we had built more than technology. We had built a way to keep a generation learning.
At Bett UK 2026, I want to show that even in the darkest times, Ukrainian teachers find ways to give children light. And if it is possible in Ukraine — it is possible anywhere.
