The ministry approved a new state standard of primary education which is based on experience of such countries as Finland, Great Britain and Poland. Right now the government is developing the basic curriculum.
The state standard has four options of the basic curriculum. The key points are fluent Ukrainian, arithmetic some IT knowledge. But the most important thing is curiosity formation. The new bill lets the teachers create their own educational problem.
The standard comes into effect next spring.
