Detailed project goal: The main goal of the project is to create a modern, safe and accessible educational environment in secondary education institutions by providing schools with equipment, teaching aids and material and technical resources necessary for the implementation of the “New Ukrainian School” concept and a competency-based approach to education. Detailed goal: -provide teachers and students with modern didactic materials for integrated and competency-based learning; -equip classrooms (primary school, science and mathematics, STEM, inclusive spaces) with the necessary equipment; -create conditions for the development of financial, digital, scientific and technological literacy; -contribute to the formation of a safe, comfortable and inclusive educational space; Ways to achieve the goal during the implementation of the investment project The project provides for a set of investment and organizational measures: - Material and technical support: purchase of furniture adapted to the age of students (adjustable desks, chairs, modular furniture); purchase of computer equipment, interactive panels, printers, multimedia equipment; provision of STEM laboratories (robotics, 3D printers, sets for physics, chemistry, biology); updating of primary school classrooms in accordance with the requirements of the National School of Education (manipulatives, didactic sets, logical games, models). - Creation of a safe and inclusive environment: equipment of resource rooms and inclusive spaces; provision of facilities for children with special educational needs (sensory sets, alternative communication, correctional materials). - Implementation of digital solutions: ensuring access to electronic educational platforms; implementation of distance learning systems; training teachers in working with digital tools. -Professional development of teaching staff: improving the skills of teachers using modern equipment; training in competency-based, integrated and project-based learning methods. -Justification of the gap between the current state and the target level: Within the framework of a public investment project, it is important to show why the project is necessary. As of today, there is a significant gap between the existing infrastructure of educational institutions and the standards set by the NUS reform. Current status: -material and technical support of a significant part of schools is outdated by 10–20 years; -STEM infrastructure is absent or underdeveloped; -many schools lack interactive panels, modern computers, laboratory sets; -inclusive spaces are only partially created and require upgrading; -a significant part of teachers does not have access to modern equipment for the practical application of new methods. Target level (according to the requirements of the National School of Education): 100% of classrooms are equipped in accordance with the updated state standards; STEM laboratories are created and staffed; conditions for inclusive learning are provided in accordance with the needs of children; teachers have digital and technical tools necessary for competent learning. Gap between the current and target levels: lack of material and technical support: existing equipment is not enough to implement the educational programs of the National School of Education. Insufficient funding and uneven provision: urban schools are better equipped than rural ones. Personnel and methodological gap: teachers do not have enough tools to implement interactive learning. Infrastructure gap: educational institutions do not meet the requirements of a safe, modern and adaptive environment. - improve the quality of the educational process through the introduction of modern technologies, research methods, new pedagogical practices.

Key issues: - Outdated and worn-out school facilities that do not meet NUS standards. - Insufficient equipment in STEM classrooms, resource rooms, and inclusive spaces. - Unequal access of students to modern educational resources, especially in rural communities. - Weak digital infrastructure, lack of opportunities for interactive and distance learning. NUS reform requires competency-based and practical learning, which cannot be implemented without modern equipment. After the war, some schools need urgent re-equipment. Digital skills have become critically important for students' competitiveness. Deterioration in the quality of education and growing inequality between schools. Loss of student motivation, decreased learning outcomes. Inability to fully implement NUS and modern methodologies. Limited opportunities for children with SEN. Expected positive changes Creating a modern, safe educational environment. Expanding student access to STEM, digital and project-based learning. Improving the quality and equity of education in all communities. Better educational outcomes, motivation and development of key student competencies.
