Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – June 25, 2021 – Education
According to the Minister, the main component of the National Technopark to improve the quality of education is the introduction of competency education in the educational space, including the functioning of offline and online resources of educational values, radical renewal of training, and support of competent teachers for NUS.
“Qualitative changes in the training and professional support of teachers, from which the real competence training of students should begin, need to be implemented quickly. The Ministry has developed regulations on pedagogical internships that will help resolve the issue. And this is the component we identified as the first in the structure of the technology park, “said Scarlett.
He also noted that another basic component of educational development is the formation of the nation’s intellectual elite – scientists, researchers, public figures, innovators-entrepreneurs.
“The elite must be prepared by the elite. Teachers must really become a professional elite that will prepare an intellectual elite. We have some achievements in this area, the rectors share the experience of each of them. An important activity of pedagogical universities is to strengthen partnerships between communities, business, government, which will significantly affect the content, process, and results of professional-pedagogical education. This approach also corresponds to the ideas of the technology park, “said the Minister.
He added that first of all, it is necessary to develop practical skills, professional and personal qualities, to create a free space for creativity, to form a scientific worldview from the earliest possible age.
In addition, Serhiy Shkarlet stressed the importance of creating a safe environment for life and health.
“A healthy school is a healthy nation. The formation of health skills begins with the family, but in educational institutions, these skills must find their continuation and development. Creating a safe environment is the main task of every educational institution. We offer to start this work by passing an online self-assessment based on the model “Safe and child-friendly school”, – said Scarlett.
The Minister also outlined the main directions of transformation of the education management system within the model of the National Technopark to improve the quality of education.
“One of the areas of this component is a public-private partnership – a mechanism used in most successful countries. At its expense, new or modernized existing educational institutions, sports grounds, stadiums are built, modern school scientific laboratories are opened, material and technical support is updated, and so on. We have such examples. Therefore, combining the efforts of business and the state in education is also the leading idea of the technology park, “said the Minister of Education and Science.
