Today, July 2, the organizers of the "Leave No One Behind" project announced that 143 schools from the Lviv, Poltava, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions have registered to participate in the innovative computerization project.
The registration period for computer science teachers from the three regions ended on July 1, after more than two weeks of active enrollment. The largest number of applications came from the Lviv region, with 77 schools. Ivano-Frankivsk didn’t fall behind either, with 29 schools applying for the project. This is just one less than Poltava, where 30 applications were submitted, with 20 schools from the region.
The point of the project «Leave No One Behind» aims to modernize Ukrainian computer classes and improve education. This initiative was released because of Taiwanese support.
Computer Science Teachers who pass the interview will study programming at Ukrainian Catholic University.
Uliana Pak, whose project coordinator, admits that technology changes every year. And it's a big pleasure for us to support initiative teachers who are ready to spend and invest their free time in such projects. One of the key points is that the information shared by event participants will be passed on to other schools over time.
After several months of training and completing their homework assignments, students will receive modern equipment for their school classrooms. Each school will be equipped with 16 computers, a projector with a screen, and a robotics kit.
The winners of the competitive selection will be announced after July 12. A total of 48 teachers will be chosen for the educational stage of the project, with two teachers from each of the 24 schools.
The project is free of charge, thanks to the public organization "All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum," Taiwan's support, and Mykola Kniazhytskyi.
“We are thankful to everyone who takes part in the project. Information Technology is a prospective science for young people, and we also see how important robotic engineering is for our defense. As well as how STEM education helps children develop various skills and sparks their interest in learning. Thanks to our partners, we can provide teachers with the knowledge and tools for their work and offer students a modern education. This innovative project is currently running in three regions, and we plan to expand it nationwide in the future. This will create a whole network, a community of innovative education in Ukraine.” - Mykola Kniazhytskyi.
