These initiatives are implemented throughout Ukraine with an emphasis on the eastern and southern regions. In the 2023-2024 academic year, UNICEF plans to reach at least 300,000 children with programs to make up for educational losses and promote the upgrading of the qualifications of more than 30,000 teachers.
Young people aged 14-24 took part in the survey. In 2015, Ukraine became the first country in Europe to implement U-Report. Since then, more than 101,000 respondents have participated in surveys on the platform.
As a reminder, next year, Ukrainian schoolchildren will take the NMT for admission to higher education institutions of Ukraine in 4 subjects: Ukrainian language, mathematics, history and one subject of their choice.
