Sarah Brown¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s charity sends laptops to Ukraine to help senior pupils sit exam
It¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s not just about providing technology ¹ú²úÊÓƵ“ it¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s about equipping Ukraine¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s next generation with the skills they need to rebuild their country.
Sarah Brown, Chair of ¹ú²úÊÓƵ
As Ukraine marks three years since the full-scale invasion, millions of children continue to face severe disruptions to their education. Forced to learn in underground shelters, displaced from their schools and with limited access to technology, their futures risk being a forgotten casualty of war.
A key challenge facing the Ukrainian education system has been allowing students to sit the National Multi-Subject Test (NMT) ¹ú²úÊÓƵ“ a mandatory university entrance exam now taken digitally due to the conflict, roughly equivalent to A-levels of the UCAS Tariff system in the UK.
Sarah Brown spoke on Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips show to promote how ¹ú²úÊÓƵ has delivered 500 more new laptops to frontline schools and underground shelters that urgently need updated technology, helping over 21,000 students continue their education and sit their NMT. This builds on our work to date, which has delivered over 70,000 laptops to displaced Ukrainian children and teachers in partnership with Ukraine¹ú²úÊÓƵ™s Ministry of Education and Science, Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Olena Zelenska Foundation.
