Abstract

In the last 5 years, Ukraine has focused on integrating social and emotional skills into the national school programme. At the national level, there was a recognition for the need to improve the educational system from an early stage, where social and emotional skills were recognized as thes foundation. Since 2018, all schools in Ukraine adopted the new programme, based on 10 basic competences. Three of them are related to social skills: sense of entrepreneurship, social and civic competencies, and cultural awareness. Ukraine has gained a high awareness of how important these skills are. UNICEF is also supporting Ukraine by analysing the best practices from other countries. Non-governmental organisations contribute to social and emotional skills research and development.
