Adopted as a basis the Draft Law No. 4629-1 “On Amending Certain Laws of Ukraine to Improve the Mechanisms for the Formation of a Network of Lyceums for Introducing Quality Specialized Secondary Education”.
The draft Law No. 4629-1 “On Amending Certain Laws of Ukraine to Improve the Mechanisms for the Formation of a Network of Lyceums for Introducing Quality Specialized Secondary Education”:
- specifies the terms “basic educational institution” and “safe educational environment”;
- provides the legal grounds for the functioning of a new state institution that will ensure the provision of educational services to children receiving treatment at in-patient facilities;
- basic educational institutions will provide for obtaining specialized secondary education (previously, primary and basic education was guaranteed); the norms specifying that the development of the network of municipal institutions of general secondary education is to be provided for by the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and local self-government bodies are removed – now the network of municipal communal lyceums will be planned and ensured by the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea as well as oblast and rayon councils.
The bill enables representative bodies of communities of all levels to be the founders of lyceums before the planned date of the full launching of the three-year senior vocational school (i.e. until September 1, 2027); also, the bill obliges the Government to continue allocating subvention in 2021-2030 to local budgets for ensuring quality secondary education under the New Ukrainian School reform project.
