General Information

Program Description

The goal of the program is to create a safe, inclusive, and digitalized educational environment that meets the standards of the New Ukrainian School. The program is aimed at eliminating infrastructure barriers, ensuring equal rights (gender and social) and restoring access to education in wartime. Modernization involves the purchase of interactive panels, laptops and digital laboratories, the installation of ergonomic desks-transformers and mobile shelves, equipping classrooms with modern visual aids and STEM kits, etc. Expected results: Formation of competitive human capital by training graduates who possess STEM competencies and digital literacy, which is the basis for the innovative economy of Ukraine. Ensuring educational sustainability by creating a technical base for blended and distance learning, which guarantees the continuity of education even in martial law or other crises. Increasing the socio-economic efficiency of budget investments through the transition from maintaining old premises to investing in «smart» infrastructure. Overcoming regional imbalances in access to quality education, which guarantees equal starting opportunities for young people regardless of their place of residence and ensures balanced development of human capital across the country. 

Strategic Case

Program Goal

Main Goal: Modernization to comply with current standards
Secondary Goal: Improvement of service quality, Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities, Improvement of infrastructure condition, Modernization to comply with current standards, Reducing territorial or social disparities
Problems: Critical inconsistency of the material and technical base of schools with the requirements of the modern economy and the standards of the National University of Ukraine. The educational process is often based on outdated textbooks and chalk boards, which does not allow children to develop digital and technical skills. The problem is nationwide, especially acute in rural areas and communities affected by the war. The consequences of not addressing the problem are a decrease in the competitiveness of graduates, an increase in regional inequality ("educational gap" between the city and the countryside), an outflow of youth abroad, and stagnation of the state's human capital.
