The new Minister of education of Ukraine said that schools can reduce the number of subjects that study children

In the Ministry of science and education of Ukraine talked about the possible reduction of subjects that are studied in school. It is very difficult for children to learn all the material taught in the difficult conditions of an all-encompassing war. The new Minister Lisovy believes that the optimization of the curriculum will help students to study more effectively basics without prejudice to the general level of education.



His thoughts the Minister posted on his page in Facebook. This has caused a huge public interest in the problems with education in the country over the past couple of years and in general during the period of independence of the state.



The introduced profile orientation of high school students will be able to satisfy their need for in-depth study of certain subjects. This will allow students to get higher education and become a qualified specialist in the chosen field. Thus, the overall workload of junior schoolchildren and middle-level students will significantly decrease. The main school subjects will be given priority.

The fox justifies the correctness of this decision with an incredible mental and psychological load on children. After all, they have at a distance in the process of online lessons not only to learn new material, but also to catch up.



It should be remembered that gaps and gaps in the educational process began with the first day of the pandemic, and have only worsened since the full-scale invasion. In addition, not all students have the opportunity to maintain high-quality communication with the teacher via the Internet. Children involuntarily begin to focus attention from parental submission on more important, in their opinion, subjects.

The Minister of Education clarifies that it is not so much about the number of subjects as about the analysis and adaptation of the school curriculum. It is important to properly normalize the load on children during lessons and in the process of self-training. It is also necessary to review the form in which training is conducted.



Orientation from multi-subject education will be replaced by a narrow-profile approach in teaching. It will be able to engage and interest students, and will also match their talents and inclinations. The child also has the right to make a choice and do what he likes. It is difficult to force an adult to do what he does not like. So why should children suffer?

The head of the Ministry of Education and Science invites citizens to take an active part in the discussion of his message on the Internet and express their thoughts on this matter. Many readers reacted to the news, and the majority agreed. But there are also opponents of such innovations.



Many people compare old textbooks and programs with new ones and see a huge difference, because the material that was previously studied, for example, in the 7th grade, is now being presented to a fifth grader. Knowledge of individual subjects for schoolchildren is deepened to the university level. Children will soon forget what childhood is like.

It is bad when school programs are made up of people who are disconnected from the educational process. Often they have a weak idea about the education and upbringing of children, and manuals to order write PC operators and secretaries! Everything goes to the fact that the dynasties of teachers disappear, respect for the work of the teacher is lost, the prestige of the profession is at zero. Children do not want to follow in their parents’ footsteps and become teachers.



The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine is trying to find a way out of this situation, change the approach to education and optimize the school curriculum. Let's hope they succeed!
