“Monitoring changes in the general secondary education network according to the regional plans” 

The information and analytical materials present the results of the systematic annual monitoring of changes in the network of general secondary education institutions (GSEIs), in line with regional plans. The monitoring was conducted in accordance with the Action Plan for implementing the European Commission’s recommendations, as outlined in the 2024 European Union Enlargement Package Progress Report on Ukraine, and the operational plan of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for 2025. The monitoring revealed that the number of GSEIs in Ukraine decreased by a moderate 3.2% over the past year. However, this has been accompanied by a qualitative transformation of the network through the establishment of innovative educational institutions, such as academic lyceums and gymnasiums. This indicates a gradual shift from maintaining the size of the network to ensuring its qualitative renewal, in line with the objectives of the “New Ukrainian School” reform.
