During World War II, many evacuees, particularly children sent from urban areas to the countryside in the UK, did attend school, though their education was often disrupted. Local schools in rural areas adapted to accommodate these children, sometimes combining classes or providing informal education. However, the experience varied significantly depending on the location and the availability of resources. Despite the challenges, education remained a priority, as it provided a sense of normalcy amid the chaos of war.
Kids continued to attend school during World War 1. In countries that had compulsory education before the war, nearly all kids continued to go to school. In many countries education was compulsory only up to age 14 or in some cases, only 13.
The evacuees would be picked by the family. They would go down to the station and check the kids' ID, clothes and gender and then they would take the chosen child home.
Whether evacuees went to school after being evacuated depends on the specific context and time period. For instance, during events like World War II or natural disasters, many evacuee children were often relocated to schools in safer areas, where they continued their education. However, in some cases, educational opportunities may have been limited due to the circumstances of displacement. Overall, the experience varied widely based on location and the nature of the evacuation.
Evacuees, particularly during World War II, often attended makeshift schools established in safer areas or rural locations where they were relocated. These schools utilized local facilities, such as community halls or village schools, to accommodate the influx of children. Teachers and volunteers, sometimes from the evacuees’ home areas, facilitated lessons, focusing on core subjects while also providing emotional support to help children adjust to their new environments. The experience varied greatly depending on the location and resources available.

evacuees normally don't travel to other countries because if there was a war they wouldn't want to go on a plane because they are bomber planes actually there so you wouldn't get far! And if you choose to travel by boat or ship really there is a same reason because bomber planes go near to the water because there is food traveling from other countries to Britain and the bombers will want to stop the food coming to us. But evacuees will go to the country side where bombers wouldn't go because there isn't much stuff in the country side worth bombing anyway. Hope this helps with your question. --- Courteney Thorp ---
