OECD – Transforming General Upper Secondary Education in Ukraine, 2025

The report by OECD "Transforming General Upper Secondary Education in Ukraine" explores the resilience and challenges faced by Ukrainian students in mathematics amidst significant disruptions. Between 2018 and 2022, Ukrainian 15-year-olds showed resilience in mathematics, with a slight decline in average scores from 452 to 441, less severe than the OECD average drop. However, reading scores fell more sharply from 464.4 to 428, exceeding the OECD average decrease. Regional disparities were evident, with some areas like Sumy and Khmelnytskyi showing improvements, while others like Kirovohrad and Chernihiv faced declines. These variations highlight not only educational inequities but also the impact of war-induced disruptions and internal migration on learning outcomes across regions.
