Children within and outside Ukraine are affected at different levels by the disruption of normal education due to the on-going war with Russia. The education response therefore needs to be flexible, differing over time and per location. The Ministry of Education & Science of Ukraine (MESU) has looked at available Ed Tech solutions meeting their quality requirements that could be included in the All Ukrainian School Online platform and cater for distance education of the primary grades (1-4). The MESU Directorate of Digital Transformation, the Ukrainian Institute of Education Development and UNICEF Regional and Ukraine Country, the MESU identified Can’t Wait To Learn (CWTL) - an evidence-based intervention developed by War Child as their preferred solution for grade 1-4 students to be included in the All Ukrainian School Online programme. MESU requested War Child to develop a Ukrainian version of their Can’t Wait To Learn (CWTL) programme: grade 1-4, with focus on math and language. This is a 54-month project focusing on two target groups: 1. Children aged 6 to 10, residing in Ukraine (including internally displaced children) who are not able to access primary education due to displacement or school closure. 2. Children from Ukraine aged 6 to 10 who currently reside in a host community and are not able to (immediately) access the education services provided by the host country. The Project outcome is defined as follows: "210,000 Ukrainian primary school-age children have access to quality education in math and reading (Can't Wait to Learn) based on the Ukrainian curriculum and in their mother tongue. This education will help them either stream into the educational system in their new host - country or re-start their education in Ukraine. It will prevent children from missing out on vital weeks; months of education while on the move or out of school. In instances where gaps in learning cannot be avoided, this intervention will help children catch up on lost time."
