General information

Description of the project

The Department of Education, Youth and Sports of the Artsyz City Council receives a subvention from the state budget every year for the implementation of the "New Ukrainian School" reform. From 2020 to 2024, the amount of the subvention amounted to UAH 2,998,233. There are 42 classrooms in the educational institutions of the Artsyz community designed to implement the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education. Today, they are only 34% equipped with modern educational equipment. The planned amount of the subvention for 2025 is UAH 1,596,800. In the 2025/2026 academic year, the number of students in grades 1-8 is 2,114, and in the 2026/2027 academic year, an increase of 250 students (up to 2,364) is forecast. By the end of 2028, it is planned to provide all 42 classrooms with modern equipment by 100%. A total of UAH 5,608,880 is needed for this.

Features and objectives of the project:

purchase of modern furniture, multimedia devices, STEM equipment, teaching materials;

creation of equal conditions for learning in rural and urban schools;

ensuring accessibility of the educational environment for children with special needs.

Problems solved by the project: low level of provision of school classrooms with modern equipment (only 34%); growing number of students who need high-quality learning conditions; need to comply with the requirements of the reform of the "National University of Ukraine"; and the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education.

Expected results: 100% provision of school classrooms with modern teaching aids by 2028; improving the quality of education and forming key competencies in applicants; equal access to a high-quality educational environment for all students in the community; increasing the prestige of educational institutions and increasing their competitiveness. 

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards

Secondary Goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Ways to achieve the goal: Rational use of state subventions and additional local budget resources. Purchase of modern equipment: interactive panels, multimedia complexes, STEM sets, furniture and teaching materials. Phased provision of classrooms during 2025–2028, taking into account the growth in the number of students. Creation of equal conditions for access to quality education in urban and rural schools. Monitoring and control of project implementation to ensure the efficiency of the use of funds. Justification of the gap between the current state and the planned result Currently, in 42 classrooms of the community's basic secondary school, the level of provision of modern equipment is only 34%, while the requirements of the State Standard provide for 100% provision. The planned number of students in the 2025/2026 academic year is 2,114 people, and in 2026/2027 an increase of 250 students is projected. This reinforces the need to create a sufficient number of properly equipped classrooms. A total of UAH 5,608,880 is needed to achieve the goal by the end of 2028, while the current amount of subvention for 2025 is only UAH 1,596,800. Thus, there is a financial gap that requires an investment project to overcome it and achieve the planned result - 100% provision of classrooms with modern teaching aids.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Main problems: high degree of wear and tear of existing equipment and furniture; lack of adequate resources for the implementation of STEM education; limited coverage of students with innovative teaching methods; inequality between urban and rural schools in access to high-quality educational infrastructure; non-compliance with modern requirements for a safe and inclusive educational environment. Expected results of solving problems Creation of a modern educational environment All 42 classrooms will be equipped with modern furniture, multimedia complexes, STEM equipment and didactic materials. This will provide comfortable, safe and inclusive conditions for learning. Improving the quality of education The use of innovative methods and technologies will contribute to the development of key competencies of students: critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, and the ability to work in a team. Expanding opportunities for STEM education Children will be able to conduct laboratory research, work with robotics, and participate in project-based and research-based learning. This will stimulate interest in natural sciences and technical specialties. Ensuring equal access to quality education Students from rural and urban schools will receive the same opportunities for learning, which will reduce educational inequality in the community. Increasing student motivation and engagement Modern equipment and new methodologies will make the learning process more interesting, interactive, and more applied, which will contribute to better learning outcomes. Improving the professional level of teachers Teachers will receive new tools for organizing the educational process, which will stimulate their professional development and the implementation of innovative practices. Positive impact on the community The implementation of the project will increase the prestige of schools in the Artsyz community, contribute to the growth of parents' trust in the education system, and improve the competitiveness of graduates in the labor market.
