In 1898 a two-class church-parish school was established in Kyriivka. In 1928, the school was reorganized into a four-grade school, in 1947 into a seven-year school (167 pupils and 11 teachers), and in 1956 into an eight-year school.
In 2021, deputies of the Sosnytsia Territorial Council decided to optimize schools in the Sosnytsia region and liquidate Kyryivka School. It is planned to take children by bus 7 kilometers to the school in the neighboring village of Kudrivka.
Villagers have protested against the closure of the school and have repeatedly appealed to local authorities. Residents of the village of Kiriyivka pay attention to the following issues
1. Moral and ethical characteristics and humanity of the members of the Sosnytsia Territorial Council during the decision to liquidate the Kyriivka school
2. Doubts about the impartiality of the members and management of the Sosnytsia Territorial Council and the transparency of decision-making during the liquidation of the Kyriivka School. There are doubts about the transparency of the appointment of the director of the Kudrivka School. Attention is drawn to the fact that in order to preserve Kudrivska Secondary School and the position of its director, the Kyriivka School is being destroyed.

At the same time, in her election program, Oksana Rudia declares: "In our difficult times, the main thing is to keep all the institutions that now operate in the villages. Children from villages are not to blame for not being born in Chernihiv or Kyiv and have the right to their school"
