According to Zelenska,“the priority for providing gadgets is frontline and border regions, where in-person classes are temporarily unavailable.”
“It is important that the process is completely transparent – the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Digital Affairs have created a special dashboard where anyone can track the number of devices transferred to specific settlements or educational facilities,” Zelenska emphasized.
She noted that due to the full-scale invasion, about 434,000 students in Ukraine were deprived of access to in-person education. The top-priority critical need for gadgets, estimated at 125,461 devices, is almost covered. The Ministry of Education and Science expects to fully cover the need before year-end.
“Over the entire period of its work, the Olena Zelenska Foundation has provided more than 65,000 schoolchildren and teachers with tablets and laptops, including devices donated within the Device Coalition,” the First Lady added.
Zelenska thanked UNICEF, UNESCO, Google, Apple, Amazon, governments, partners from the UAE, Serbia, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and everyone who joined in for the major result.
