PrivatBank joined the creation of a unified digital platform for distance learning

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and JSC CB PrivatBank have started working together to create a single digital platform for distance learning. This is reported by the Government portal, Komersant ukrainskyi informs.

The platform will provide access to Ukrainian education for children who are abroad or studying remotely in Ukraine, as well as create a modern, convenient and safe environment for interaction between students, teachers and parents.

The digital platform for distance learning will comply with state educational standards and ensure

– implementation of a single standard of quality distance learning;

– individual educational trajectories;

– constant communication between student and teacher;

– convenient tools for all participants of the educational process in a single digital space;

– personal data protection, cybersecurity, and digital identification.

The platform will become part of the School Offline policy, which provides for affordable, high-quality and uninterrupted education regardless of the child’s location.

The joint work of the Ministry of Education and Science and PrivatBank involves not only the development of the platform itself, but also filling it with educational content, building a secure digital infrastructure, technical and organizational support for educational institutions, and developing the digital competencies of teachers.

What other distance learning platforms exist?

To ensure equal access to education, the educational process has shifted from a face-to-face format to a blended or distance learning format, which has forced teachers and students to master various digital tools. The New Ukrainian School portal has collected the most popular online platforms that help organize distance learning. Let’s mention a few.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation has recently presented Mriya

Mriya is an app for the whole of Ukraine. As the Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov put it, Mriya is “a single ecosystem with an app for students and parents and a web portal for teachers and administrators.

Mriya schools are:

Students who develop according to their own educational trajectory. They see the schedule, grades, feedback from teachers, and extracurricular opportunities in one app.

Parents who can see how their child is doing at any time, what they are doing, what they are doing best, and where they need help.

Teachers who spend less time on routine – journals, plans, papers. And more time on working with the child, development and motivation.

Mriya also has an internal currency – dreams – which children will exchange for various bonuses: movie tickets, workshops, VR quests, etc.

In 2025, 2000 educational institutions from different regions of Ukraine are expected to join the Mriya educational ecosystem.

Mriya is available to every school, regardless of size or format. The Mriya connection is free and voluntary.

To take advantage of the educational ecosystem, a school needs to submit an application on the Mriya website at mriia.gov.ua/app.
