About the project. The website nus.org.ua is one of the country’s largest educational media, created in 2017 by the NGO “Smart Osvita” in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. It was founded in the middle of 2017 to illuminate and communicate the “New Ukrainian School” reform. This informal platform for communication between educators, officials, and parents highlights and explains the reform of secondary education, disseminates the best cases from Ukrainian schools, and demonstrates successful foreign practices.
Essential topics related to the reform of NUS are raised on the platform, as well as highlighted answers to the most common questions of various natures discussed the best cases from Ukrainian schools, and analyzed best practices in Ukraine and abroad.
