One of the key factors for restoring in-person learning, the minister said, is the outfitting of shelters in schools
Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Oksen Lisovyi said it is necessary to return students and teachers to full in-person learning as quickly as possible in regions where the security situation allows. In 2024, thanks to government measures, they plan to return about 200–250 thousand children to the in-person format.
Lisovyi said this during the educational festival "Teachers of the Future" in Lviv, which is taking place on 20–21 June and has gathered over 2 thousand educators, writes "Osvita 24".
According to the minister, Ukraine suffered significant educational losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war. He emphasized that restoring in-person learning is one way to overcome these consequences.
"Children must return to in-person learning," Lisovyi said.
He also noted that the policy of the Ministry of Education and Science is aimed at facilitating a return to the in-person format. In the fall the agency is to officially receive the results of a study on educational losses related to students' social-emotional development.
The minister named outfitting shelters in schools as one of the key factors for restoring in-person learning. According to him, this requires substantial funds, which the government is allocating for the relevant measures.
Special attention will be paid to frontline and border regions, where children face the greatest threat. According to Lisovyi, in these oblasts more than half a million children continue to study in person.
The minister stressed that government measures and allocated funds should help return another approximately 200–250 thousand children to in-person learning over the course of the year.
Earlier, StopCor wrote that the Ministry of Defense launched beta testing of a new feature in the "Reserve+" app that will allow educators to apply for a mobilization deferment online. The system will automatically verify data in state registers, so additional certificates and visits to CNAPs will not be necessary. The service will be available to educators who work at their primary place of employment at least 0,75 of a full-time position.
