More than a third of Ukraine's vocational schools have applied to participate in the state program to repair classrooms and upgrade equipment.

202 applications from Ukrainian vocational schools have been registered in the state program for space renovation. An expert committee will select about 80 workshops from among them to receive funding from the state. The rest will be renovated at the expense of international partners.

This is reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

Details

33% of all vocational education and training institutions in Ukraine are participating in the #100 Workshops project to transform learning spaces. A total of 202 applications have been received, and in February-March 2024, an expert committee will select about 80 workshops that will receive state funding to renovate their spaces. The rest of the workshops will be renovated this year at the expense of international partners, the agency promises.

The transformation of vocational education is an important step to strengthen the economy and rebuild the country. It is now necessary to develop, modernize and upgrade vocational schools so that students receive quality education and skills in the most relevant professions for the country. We already have cases where vocational schools are adapting to the challenges and launching training programs to train in-demand specialists. Thanks to the #100 Workshops project, there will be more such educational institutions, so Ukrainians will be able to acquire relevant professions - from construction workers to drone operators

- emphasized Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development and Minister of Digital Transformation.

It is noted that today there are more than 600 vocational schools in Ukraine. Most of them have outdated training equipment, so students cannot receive quality education and acquire applied skills.

At the same time, the demand for blue-collar jobs is growing, and educational institutions need to train competent professionals.

It is planned that under the #100 Workshops program, Ukrainian vocational schools will receive funds to renovate their spaces, purchase modern equipment, create training and practice centers, and create comfortable conditions for students to learn productively.

The creation of new workshops is a powerful impetus for the development of vocational education in Ukraine. On the one hand, we provide high-quality conditions for students' education and, consequently, for the formation of competent specialists who are already extremely relevant in the labor market. On the other hand, we send a signal to business that vocational education is ready to meet modern challenges and that resources can and should be invested in it

- said Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi.
