Digital Education Centers in Southern Ukraine
In southern Ukraine, the Association of Innovative and Digital Education (AIDE) has, with the support of UNICEF, launched 46 digital education centers, 19 of which were established in Odesa region with the assistance of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.
The mission of these centers is to ensure equal access to quality education for students who have lost the opportunity to learn offline due to war or other circumstances.
The centers assist students in overcoming educational losses, providing psychosocial support, and offering lessons for successful living along with other engaging and beneficial activities for children using modern digital tools.
Today marks another significant event! Digital education centers have been opened in the Mayaki community based at the local lyceum and in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi at Gymnasium No. 2.
Present at the opening were Deputy Head of the Odesa Regional State Administration Anton Shalyhaiilo, Director of the Department of Education and Science Oleksandr Lonchak, and representatives and coordinators of educational projects from UNICEF and AIDE.
At DLC No. 25 (village of Mayaki), guests familiarized themselves with the technical and methodological resources of the Center, discussed its future development, and attended classes with 11th graders to address knowledge gaps in mathematics using the Ecosystem for Overcoming Educational Losses with the help of Artificial Intelligence.
At DLC No. 17, center coordinators introduced guests to all the services available for teachers and students in terms of learning and overall development.
During the opening, students showcased their work with quizzes – tests on school subjects and general knowledge, as well as their gameplay in "Minecraft Education," where they learn to navigate life situations and solve them independently.
“We pay significant attention to the educational preparation of youth. Recently, we have greatly improved students' opportunities and their access to in-person education by creating safe and comfortable conditions. This includes establishing such Digital Education Centers for students. This work is made possible thanks to our partners – UNICEF and the Association of Innovative and Digital Education, for which we are truly grateful,” said Anton Shalyhaiilo.
