Source: “Osvitoria”
Two in five of Ukrainian teachers (42%) said they will quit their job by 2030. Another alarming problem is ageing, meaning there are more older teachers. These are the results of a survey by “Osvitoria,” which gathered responses from over 10,000 teachers and education students over the course of a year.
While 79% of teachers intend to stay in their roles for the next two years, only 58% expect to remain in the field by 2030. it means that 42% of current teachers predict they will change the occupation in next 5–6 years.
Older teachers express a stronger commitment to staying in schools long-term than their younger counterparts. Among teachers aged 46–55, 71% are likely to remain in the profession, compared to only 42% of teachers under 25.
Primary school teachers show slightly more willingness to stay until 2030 than subject specialists in secondary schools.
Currently, the average teacher age is 45, but the the number of older teachers is steadily rising. Alarmingly, over 30% of educators are near or at retirement age, while the number of teachers under 30 has dropped by 1.6 times in the last five years—representing almost 15,000 young professionals the field has not replenished.
“Osvitoria” warns that Ukraine could face a shortage of around 108,000 teachers by 2030.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
