“Monitoring Changes in the Network of General Secondary Education Institutions in Accordance with Regional Plans”

Information and analytical materials “Monitoring Changes in the Network of General Secondary Education Institutions in Accordance with Regional Plans” were prepared in implementation of the recommendations of the European Commission presented in the 2024 Ukraine Progress Report under the EU Enlargement Package, as well as in accordance with the Operational Plan of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for 2026.

The materials provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state and dynamics of the network of general secondary education institutions (including special schools), the student population and teaching staff, class size indicators and staffing levels at both national and regional levels, based on data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Dashboard of the SSI “Institute of Educational Analytics”.

The monitoring results make it possible to assess regional disparities, trends in network optimisation, and the level of workload on educational institutions, as well as to identify directions for further structural modernisation of the general secondary education system. The materials may be used to support evidence-based managerial decision-making aimed at ensuring accessibility, quality, and efficiency of the educational network in the context of European integration and post-war recovery.
