The migration of children, pupils, and students from Ukraine to Poland after the Russian invasion in 2022 presented substantial challenges to Poland’s education, social, and economic systems. This study conducted a multidimensional comparative analysis of the number of Ukrainian children under temporary protection. Using bar and pyramid charts, the analysis covered data from December 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023. The findings indicated a national decrease of 1,396 Ukrainian students, with the largest declines in Dolnośląskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships. The results highlight structural and demographic shifts that require policy responses
