At the end of August, the Ukrainian Center for Evaluation of the Quality of Education will prepare a final report with the results of this year’s testing.
“We sincerely thank everyone who helped us prepare temporary examination centers for the national multi-subject test, who worked in these centers and classrooms, who ensured the operation of computers and resolved difficult situations that occurred. We are grateful to the heads of schools, colleges, vocational and technical institutions, and institutions of higher education, who worked and are working with us from June 7 to mid-August 2023, creating conditions for conducting NMT and master’s entrance exams. We will win!”, stressed Larisa Seredyak.
Also, on August 7, the registration for the certification of teaching staff was completed. This year, for the first time in Ukraine, in addition to primary school teachers, 1,500 participants who passed the test back in February will be tested for Ukrainian language and mathematics teachers in September. The quota for teachers of the Lviv region was already selected on the first day of registration. The documents of those who have registered are currently being processed.
“This indicates that today teachers have confidence in certification,” said Larisa Seredyak.
She also added that the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Education, Science and Innovation are already working on the development of a mechanism for conducting the final assessment in 2024.
“Most likely, there will be a state final certification next year, because everyone understood that without evaluating the knowledge of school graduates, it is very difficult to know about the real state of affairs even under these conditions,” added the head of the Lviv Regional Center for Evaluation of the Quality of Education.
