This article examines the complex socio-pedagogical and psychological process of integrating Ukrainian school-age children into the national education systems of European Union countries in the context of the large-scale migration crisis that began in 2022. Based on an analysis of institutional barriers, regulatory and legal transformations for 2024–2026, and psychological factors, the authors explicate the phenomenon of dual academic workload (Dual Burden) and describe the risks of academic segregation of migrants [4]. The study systematizes methods and tools for accelerated acquisition of target languages, differentiated by age group (primary, middle, and high school age). Particular attention is paid to innovative ecosystem approaches such as Translanguaging, CLIL (Content-Language Integrated Learning), and TPR (Total Physical Response). The study's findings are aimed at optimizing inclusive educational strategies and preventing the marginalization of forced migrants. Keywords: forced migration, Ukrainian schoolchildren, educational integration, language barrier, double academic load, sociocultural adaptation, translingual method, psychological trauma. The full-scale military conflict in Ukraine has triggered the largest and most dynamic migration crisis in Europe since World War II. According to verified data
