The Cabinet of Ministers has appointed Tetyana Vakulenko as the new director of the Ukrainian Center for Evaluation of the Quality of Education. This was announced by People’s Deputy Taras Melnychuk on March 24. Prior to that, from October 2022, the director of the Ukrainian National Academy of Arts and Sciences was Eduard Tsyrulik. Previously, she held the position of deputy director of the Ukrainian National Academy of Arts and Sciences. Vakulenko graduated from Kharkiv National Pedagogical University named after Skovorody, defended her thesis for the candidate of pedagogical sciences. She has been working at the Ukrainian Center for Evaluation of the Quality of Education since 2010. Tetyana Vakulenko is also the National Coordinator of the international PISA study in Ukraine. At the moment, the reaction to her appointment is mostly positive. In particular, people’s deputy Roman Hryschuk wrote that the director of the National Educational Research Institute of Ukraine became a “professional in educational measurements, a person who lives by education.” Ivanna Kobernyk, co-founder of the non-governmental organization “Smart Education”, called the decision to appoint Tetyana Vakulenko to the post of director “overmature”. “Perhaps, the strategy of educational measurements, developed long ago by the UTSOYAO, will finally begin to be implemented,” Kobernyk wrote. Olena Severenchuk, coordinator of the “Education” sector, said that this appointment is “the first personnel victory of the new minister.” We will remind, on March 21, the Rada appointed Oksen Lisovoy to the post of Minister of Education and Science, who was accused of plagiarism.
