The Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport has acquainted with the article published by the journalist Oksana Onischenko in the newspaper "Mirror of the week. Ukraine” №6 dated February 18, 2012, entitled “Tabachnyk’s Gambit”. The Ministry refuted the information considering it to be inaccurate and to lead the education community astray. The MES Youth and Sports requires the refutation of false information.

So, in reply to the distributed information MES Youth and Sports informs:

On educational programs

Firstly. Today, the Working Groups actively work at the development education programs in all subjects. The official website of the MES Youth and Sports contains all the information about each such meeting, which is available in the “Actual news” rubric.

Secondly. For the first time it is aimed to involve more extended Community’s participation to make the discussion of the educational programs much more efficient. The lists of the Working Groups contain the e-mail addresses of all the groups’ participants (free access).

Thirdly. There has been also provided a forum "New School - New Programs," where anyone can join the discussion and propose the suggestions on forming the content of school education.

On distribution hours

• The subject "History of Ukraine" has never been and is not in danger. "Integration of multiple History courses" – provocations of unskilled politicians;
• Working Group has worked several months at the development of educational programs for such subjects as: “History of Ukraine” and “World History”;
• There is no reduction of school hours connected with both “History of Ukraine” and “World History”;
• Curriculum is conducted solely within the State sanitary rules and regulations adopted by the Chief sanitary doctor of Ukraine.

 It should be noted that today there are three variants of typical curriculum for general educational institutions of the second accreditation level (Decree № 93 on February 1, 2012).
