New Ukrainian School

The concept of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) accumulated modern education ideas and approaches. In September 2017, a new law “On Education” was passed. Since September 2018, primary students across Ukraine have been joining the school system following new approaches.

September 2017 – law “On Education” adopted
September 2018 – learning and teaching according to new standards
2030 рік ― перший загальнонаціональний випуск учнівства за НУШ

The EdCamp Ukraine team was actively involved in drafting the concept and standards of NUS, as well as the new professional standards for teachers, thanks to cooperation of the Ministry of Education with its advisers, Oleksandr Elkin and Olena Masalitina (2016–2020).

Legal framework

The platform got its initial legal foundation after the Law of Ukraine “On Education” (Articles 54, 59) and the Law of Ukraine “On Complete General Secondary Education” (Articles 37, 38, 40, 51, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59, 65) were passed. In fact, EdWay is based on a number of legal documents, in particular the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 800 “Some issues of the professional development of pedagogical and research-pedagogical staff“.

Five innovative initiatives in professional development

img

Freedom of choice

Now teachers choose where, when, how and with whom they improve their professional skills.

img

"Money follows the teacher" principle

At least 150 hours of professional development (for the 5-year period) is reimbursed by state and local budgets in the amount of not less than 2% of education subvention.

img

Lifelong learning

Annual professional development is mandatory.

img

Diversity

Fields, types and forms of professional development are broadened up.

Demonopolization

In addition to educational institutions (post-diploma studies institutes, universities) you can now go through professional development programs offered by other providers (subjects) of professional development without their mandatory licensing / program accreditation.
