The Committee on Education, Science and Innovation of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has created a working group whose task is to prepare for the second reading the bill No. 4629-1 on reforming secondary education, Education Minister Serhiy Shkarlet said.
An excessive amount of control and test work is not the best way to assess the knowledge gained by students in the context of distance learning, Minister of Education and Science Serhiy Shkarlet said.

Ukrainian Education Minister Serhiy Shkarlet says the government is working on a mechanism to make COVID-19 vaccination obligatory for teachers.
So far, teachers are not legally required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, however they are potential carriers of the virus among children and coworkers, he said in an interview for the RBC Ukraine news agency. Children contract the virus less, but they are also carriers. We must think over whether it is necessary to introduce either vaccination or PCR testing in the qualification characteristics of the profession, Shkarlet said.
