Useful resources
To support refugees from Ukraine and those children displaced by the conflict, the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science (MoES) has published the Ukrainian curriculum. This contains educational materials and other useful information.
Resources can be used to complement pupils’ education. For example, for use at home or in supplementary schools. These should not be used to substitute for a schools’ usual curriculum.
