According to the ministry, during the second stage of the transition to 12-year education, the educational process in grades 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 will be carried out using updated educational programs and new teaching and methodological tools.
Additionally, starting with the new school year, a pre-profile component with a two-hour weekly curriculum will be introduced in 8th grade.
