UNESCO is scaling up its programs to support the education system in Ukraine through new funding of US$ 12.15 million from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).
This grant will be dedicated to expand the development of distance learning tools and psychosocial support in schools directly benefitting more than 66,800 children and education actors while having a positive impact on the entire education community in Ukraine. UNESCO will implement these actions in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine as well as other national and local stakeholders.
Since the first day of the war, UNESCO has deployed emergency measures on the ground to respond to the needs of the Ukrainian population. This new funding will allow us to act on a larger scale for the recovery of education.
Action in four areas
UNESCO will support the Ukrainian education system in four areas:
- Provide conflict-affected girls and boys with devices to continue learning.
- Integrate psychosocial support and socioemotional learning provisions into the education system.
- Give teachers access to continuous professional development in innovative and crisis-responsive pedagogical skills.
- Support education planning, management and learning through sector-wide and integrated data systems.
These four areas of action have been identified based on the priorities of the Ministry of Education and Science, as well as building on the progress achieved to date in supporting the education community in Ukraine. Read More…
