Ukraine will not switch to 12-year school system in 2024

Ukraine will not switch to a 12-year school system in 2024. Education Minister Oksen Lisovyi said the reason is that there is a problem with funds and the state standard, which are not available now. 

“The transition to a 12-year school system is planned in the law for 2027. For such a transition, it is necessary to have an approved state standard on a specialized high school – it is only being developed now. Also, the transition will require a lot of money,” said Lisovyi.

In addition, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science believes that Ukraine cannot talk about accelerating the transition to a 12-year school as the main tool for overcoming educational losses.

“This requires more comprehensive solutions, which we are already looking for with the team,” he added.
