The results of external independent evaluation of graduates indicate that the more powerful and well-resourced a school is, the more successful its graduates are.

This was reported by the Ministry of Education and Science, commenting on the need to improve the network of schools in Ukraine.

In particular, the department notes that measures to improve the educational network, which have been carried out recently by local self-government bodies in connection with the implementation of the administrative-territorial reform and in accordance with the prospects for the introduction of specialized education from 2027, are aimed at significantly improving the quality and resource provision education, in particular in rural areas.

"As evidenced by the results of external independent evaluation, the more powerful and well-resourced a school is, the more successful its graduates are. Access to quality education directly depends on the effectiveness of the educational network. It is, in particular, the most effective tool for combating inequality and discrimination in the field of education," the Ministry of Education emphasizes.

In addition, the department noted that during the formation of a capable network, the need to ensure all components of the educational process, the location of schools taking into account the place of residence of students, the possibilities of the transport system, the forecast of the demographic situation, the level of provision of pedagogical personnel, the adequacy of resource provision of schools, etc. will be taken into account. .
