The article examines the process of reforming and developing the education system during the military conflict in Ukraine, focusing particularly on the militarization of education. It explores the integration of military disciplines into the curricula of secondary schools, universities, and colleges, highlighting the broader societal and youth-related impacts of these changes. The militarization of education is presented as a key component of state policy, designed to enhance national defense capabilities and promote patriotic values among the population. At the same time, the work delves into the potential risks and adverse effects associated with this trend. In conclusion, the analysis offers recommendations aimed at mitigating the harmful consequences of militarizing education.
