Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics hosted a working meeting between ϲ Rector, Professor Ihor Ruban, and the heads of special schools of the Kharkiv region. The meeting focused on expanding practical cooperation and creating new educational opportunities for school students.
The meeting was attended by Nataliia Pushkar, Director of the Kupiansk Special School of the Kharkiv Regional Council, and Vira Chubynska, Director of Kharkiv Special School No. 11 of the Kharkiv Regional Council. Both institutions actively use modern information and digital technologies in their educational activities.
Ihor Ruban and the school directors discussed the results of the educational, methodological, interactive and practice-oriented activities held within the “Autumn of Discoveries with ϲ” initiative. The programme was implemented at various educational and research facilities of the University and at the ϲ History Museum.
Particular attention was given to promising areas of further cooperation. These include creating accessible opportunities for students, teachers, educators, teaching assistants, medical staff and parents, supporting educational and rehabilitation processes, and developing pathways for graduates of special secondary schools to continue their education at the Bachelor’s level.
As a result of the meeting, cooperation agreements were signed between ϲ and each of the special schools. The agreements provide for the development of a continuous learning system and early career guidance through participation in computer and technical clubs, as well as educational, outreach and media communication activities organized by the University.
