During the time of the large-scale war in Ukraine, the number of students who are abroad and receiving education online in Ukrainian schools decreased by nearly half.
These data are from the report on the results of the coordinated audit “Realization of the right to education of Ukrainian children in European schools” presented by Olha Pyschanska, head of the Accounting Chamber.
Why do children leave Ukrainian schools
The number of children who are abroad and study online in Ukrainian schools decreased from nearly 520 thousand in 2022 year to 272 thousand in September 2026 year.
The authors of the report believe that these data indicate an increasing adaptation of Ukrainian students to the educational systems of the host countries.
By the way, data on children who are abroad and continue to study in Ukrainian schools are received by the Ministry of Education and Science through the Automated Information System of Educational Management (AIKOM).
At the same time, a mechanism for accounting for children who are abroad but do not study in either the Ukrainian or foreign education system, as well as a registry of Ukrainian-language educational entities abroad, has not been created.
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in 2022 – 2025 years did not conclude international agreements on organizing education for Ukrainian children abroad or exchanging educational data about school-age children who are outside Ukraine. The ministry carried out international cooperation activities in various formats, but did not systematically monitor their results,
the report notes.
New achievement certificates for students will be introduced in Ukraine
The Ministry proposes to introduce a single form of achievement certificate for students 5 – 9 grades.
The document should include grades, academic progress, and the development of competencies of students, writes the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
This project has already been proposed for public discussion.
The Ministry proposes to introduce mandatory step-by-step filling of the certificate so that teachers can prepare, and developers of electronic journals can adapt their systems.
Starting from 1 September 2027 year, all sections of the certificate are to become mandatory. The section on state final attestation will be filled taking into account the conditions defined by law.
The project was developed within the framework of the reform “New Ukrainian School.” The Ministry notes that assessment should reflect the development of students’ competencies, including their ability to apply gained knowledge and skills.
