"We adopted a new law on education. The new law, first of all, has several pillars," the minister reminded.

The first of them she called the greater pedagogical freedom of the teacher provided for by the law.

"In order for a teacher to be able to offer his own approaches to teaching, he must have a very good grasp of how a typical educational program can be created. Therefore, for the first grades, I want to inform all of you, all teachers who will take the first grade next year - all must undergo advanced training," said L. Hrynevych.

She informed that teachers will be informed about the method and place of these events in the education department.
