13 April 2018, 16:20

Due to rapid development of technologies, it is necessary to reform the education system. This was stated by the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Liliia Hrynevych during the 11th Kyiv Security Forum, organized by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Open Ukraine Foundation.

The whole world is in an educational crisis today. As children have changed, technology has changed, and the whole world thinks about how to make education more natural, interesting and at the same time more productive, because the goals of education have changed," the Minister noted.

According to her, if earlier knowledge was important, then, according to researches, only 15% of career success depends on professional skills.

"And as much as 85% of this success is due to what is called "soft skills". Today, in the education system, we do not at all form "soft skills", - emphasized Hrynevych.

In this regard, a large-scale reform begins within the Ukrainian education system.

"This year on the 1st of September, all first-graders will be educated within new standards, in a new educational space. And all the teachers who would take the first class will undergo an advanced training," the Minister said.

Also, approaches to the development of the scientific field are changing to prevent "brain drain" abroad.

For reference:

The annual international event Kyiv Security Forum was launched by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Foundation Open Ukraine in 2007 as a platform for high-level discussions on the current issues in Europe and the Black Sea region. The Forum aims at increasing security cooperation between the EU and the Black Sea region, raising awareness about regional developments among key regional players, promoting the role of independent and non-governmental actors in setting the security agenda in Europe.

The event is being held with the support of NATO Information and Documentation Center in Ukraine, the German Marshall Fund, The Victor Pinchuk Foundation, The Royal Institute of International Relations, Chatham House (UK), and The Regional Representative Office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Ukraine.
