The educational environment must be modernized to remain relevant, stated Oksen Lisovyi. 1 billion hryvnias has already been allocated to equip laboratories for 140 pilot schools.
The educational environment must constantly change to meet the challenges of the modern world. Currently, despite the anomalous number of domestic universities, a large proportion of Ukrainian applicants, even before the full-scale war, chose foreign universities for admission. Therefore, the country must ensure that the Ukrainian university becomes a magnet for our youth, even those currently living abroad. This was stated by the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Oksen Lisovyi during the conference "Education of New Ukraine", reports UNN.

The educational environment is a world in which we immerse our children with the belief that in this world they will acquire everything necessary for success, happiness and harmony.
He emphasized that the educational environment must "change and modernize along with the world" in order not to lose its relevance and not become a threat to development.
Educational systems have no chance of success without constant rethinking and change. Conservative approaches in education not only become irrelevant, they pose a threat to development
Lisovyi paid special attention to the importance of modern equipment in schools.
First of all, children need to be "befriended" with research equipment, more than "they are friends with their phone. And it's real
Lisovyi said that "1 billion subventions - half a billion from the state and half a billion from the World Bank - went to equip laboratories for 140 pilot schools." A new approach to the organization of school laboratories, workshops and libraries is also being formed.
Regarding higher education, Lisovyi noted that Ukraine has an anomalously large number of universities, but our youth continues to choose foreign universities.
We are a country with an anomalously high number of universities per capita, but for some reason an anomalous number of Ukrainian youth, compared to other developed countries, are considering the possibility of entering foreign universities. Now there is a war - it is clear. But I'm talking about the pre-war period
Lisovyi expressed confidence that the Ukrainian university can become a magnet for young people abroad and children of the Ukrainian diaspora.
Concluding his speech, Lisovyi added that stability can only be achieved now through perfection to change.
The ability to manage change is to be part of the information structure of the world. To do this, you should accept change as a vital necessity
He thanked the teachers, scientists, administrators and managers, as well as the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister for their support and leadership.
I am convinced that someday we will be proud of how, at the same time - from above, we imposed on the life and existence of our country - we jointly laid the foundations of a new world.
