It's not known when the first school was built in Andrushivka. Although it's known that it was the first school in the area. It was a church school and situated close to the post office and milk house between the old cemetery and the manor house. In the early 1910s a new bigger school was built by order of count Michal Tyszkiewicz to whom the village belonged. He sponsored the project of building the school on condition that the teachings there should be in the Ukrainian language and not in Russian. The first teacher in the newly built school was Ostap Rechmedin, who had started to teach in the old church school around 1905. In the 1920s the old volost building just some hundred meters south of the new school was changed to a school for classes 1–4 and the main school housed classes 5–7. Later classes 8–10 was held at the school in the neighbouring village Plyskiv. The village school was closed during World War II. The main school is still used today, although a little rebuilt. A newer school was built in the 1990s just next to it. |
