The academic staff of the Faculty of Humanities of our university will take part in the 1st Virtual International Conference on Sustainable Education SEVIC 2020 within the fruitful cooperation between National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” and Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University. Experienced teachers and scientists will discuss the role of education as a key factor of the successful achievement of all the sustainable development goals, and the relevant problems of home, elementary, secondary and higher education in the context of rapid globalization.
“The academic staff of our structural subdivision eagerly joins all the initiatives of our university, participating in international and all-Ukrainian educational and scientific projects. It will even be easier for our scientists to join the professional communication because of the quick development of technologies. We are planning informative presentations and expecting a constructive dialogue with experienced professionals, as the topic of the conference is incredibly relevant. We fight new globalization challenges every day, and education is a great marker that shows the development of the whole Ukrainian society. We will borrow the best world experience and integrate it into our education,” a speaker of the conference, PhD in Pedagogy, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities of National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” Anna Ageicheva commented.
