The New Ukrainian School (NUS) reform puts forward new requirements for teachers, according to which one of the needs is to prepare English schoolteachers for primary and basic school.
The first stage of the reform started with primary school in 2018. As a result, about 18,000 English teachers have been prepared to teach in the NUS primary school.
In order to ensure continuity and sustainability in English language teaching in primary school, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has approved an online model of professional development of English teachers in the basic secondary schools.
