The new Ukrainian school: how education has changed and what to expect in the future

Recent years have become a period of active reforms in the field of education. The key transformation was the emergence of the concept New Ukrainian school (NUSH), which changed approaches to learning, the role of the teacher and student, as well as the general philosophy of the educational process. In this article, we will consider how education has changed thanks to NUS and what to expect in the near future.

What is the New Ukrainian School?

The new Ukrainian school — is a reform of general secondary education that started in 2018. Its main goal is — to create a school where it is pleasant to study and which gives students not only knowledge, but also the ability to apply it in life. Instead of traditional jagging — critical thinking, teamwork, emotional intelligence and freedom of expression.

The focus is on the — child, his needs, interests and personal development. The teacher becomes not a source of knowledge, but a mentor and facilitator. From the first days, the atmospheric school supports the principles of NUS and develops them in the format of distance online education.

The main changes brought by NUSH

The education reform is comprehensive in nature, covering all aspects of school life:

New training standards. Curricula are updated according to the competence approach.
Integrated training. Instead of dividing into separate disciplines — interdisciplinary topics combining knowledge from different fields.
Pressure-free assessment. Formative assessment helps the child understand where he is now and where to move next.
Interactive methods. Learning through play, projects, teamwork, discussions and research.
New educational space. Classes are arranged according to the principles of flexibility, comfort and accessibility.

children learn independence and responsibility;
teachers support the development of critical thinking and emotional intelligence;
a project approach and modern online tools are used;

Digitalization. Online education and digital platforms will become the norm, not the exception.
