On October 20th, a working meeting on the implementation of the project "National digital platform for professional development of implementors of university strategies to ensure the educational quality" took place at Sumy State University.

The project is implemented in cooperation with the International Foundation for Educational Policy Research and three Ukrainian universities: Sumy State University, West Ukrainian National University, and Berdiansk State Pedagogical University, with the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine's financial support.

An academic specialist at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine Vira TERNOVSKA noted that the general goal of the project is to improve the quality of education in Ukraine. "Ukrainian education has to take its place in the European educational space. An important component of this process is the appropriate educational platform creation. I am pleased that the project is not the work of only one organization and it unites the efforts of educators from the different regions of Ukraine," - emphasized Vira TERNOVSKA.

Placing emphasis on the ultimate goal of the project and the participation of Sumy State University, Rector Vasyl KARPUSHA said: "The subject of this project is extremely important for us because we have worked for many years to create our own strategy for the university development. It was quite a difficult process, but now we have a document that allows the institution to understand where and how to move and be successful. The matter of quality at our university is the number one issue in all areas because the university can not be successful if a component of its work is not of high quality."

“The success of a higher education institution is impossible without strategic planning. Just as it is impossible without a critical mass of "change agents", creative human resources, charged with the leadership philosophy," - said the Honorary Rector of SumDU, Head of the Academic Council Anatoliy Vasylyev.

The president of the International Foundation for Educational Policy Research, project manager Taras FINIKOV said that the creation of a national digital platform for professional development of implementors of university strategies to ensure the educational quality is created to equip those who want to own competencies that meet modern requirements. He expressed deep gratitude to the SumDU management for the contribution to the project and noted the significance of the working meeting in Sumy, as the foundation has repeatedly managed to successfully implement programmes in which Sumy State University was a partner.
