Learner mobility

Pupil and student mobility 

Mobility is the opportunity for learners and teachers to temporarily study or teach at another educational institution in Ukraine or abroad. It implies the ability to quickly adapt to new conditions.

Other Pedagogical Staff

In general secondary education institutions in Ukraine, the category of ‘other pedagogical staff’ includes: educational psychologists, social pedagogues, teacher assistants in inclusive classrooms, educators not involved in subject teaching, activity coordinators, special education teachers (defectologists) and teachers working in speech therapy units.

Educational Psychologist

In Ukraine, various categories of pedagogical staff provide academic guidance, career counselling and psychological support in early childhood education, school education, vocational education and professional pre-higher education. These institutions do not employ separate staff members responsible solely for career counselling in early childhood or school education; instead, existing staff carry out these functions.
