Strategic Project of the Ukrainian School of Elites
In 2025, the Ukrainian School of Elites will continue addressing the problem of educational decline caused by the war.
In particular, the school will continue the work, started in September 2024, on the strategic project aiming to reach out to 10k+ of the teachers of the Ukrainian Language (mandatory for any University entry in Ukraine) and 100k+ students in a 5-year period.
While managing the project, we concluded a contractual agreement with top experts from uMOVA, an online platform specializing solely in the Ukrainian language. Their expertise extends beyond e-learning, also supporting teachers with innovative methodologies and educational resources.
By the end of August 2025, we plan to complete the project aiming to:
- Support the teaching of the mandatory Ukrainian language in conditions of war, stress, and uncertainty;
- Equip the teachers with tools that meet the demands of the digital age;
- Improve the quality of education through a modern approach to teaching the Ukrainian language as the state language, a mandatory subject for university entry, and the language of business communication.
We believe in the power of focus and targeted help. Therefore, this strategic project will be our specific contribution to the country’s recovery from the war.
Membership in the EdTech Ukraine Association
Joining the Association opens new opportunities for UASE for collaboration and partnership in the field of innovative education and EdTech. The Association unites the leaders of the EdTech industry in Ukraine, providing a platform for sharing experiences, ideas, and resources.
We are confident that our collaboration with EdTech Ukraine Association will be the key to the successful implementation of projects and the development of Ukrainian education.
