Cambridge University Partners with the Ukrainian Education Ministry to Offer K-12 Education

A According to a recent Cambridge University Press & Assessment announcement, displaced Ukrainian children will receive additional support to resume learning under a new agreement between the Ukrainian education ministry and Cambridge Partnership for Education.

As part of the understanding, Cambridge Partnership for Education, a division of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, will map the maths and science learning pathways in countries hosting Ukrainian students as part of the new collaboration, which was formalised last week, in order to compare what children have already been taught with the curriculum in their new country and identify gaps and crossovers.

Through the initiative, the organisation also plans to assist in the creation of learning records for displaced children through digital evaluations of their math, science, and vocabulary knowledge, which it claims will help children better understand what support is required.

The government will be able to identify the challenges they need to address in education across the country.
