Ukrainian language included in UK's updated school curriculum – Zaluzhny
The Ukrainian language will become part of the British education system, and Ukrainian children will be able to take an exam in this subject, according to Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom Valeriy Zaluzhny.
Ukrainian students in the United Kingdom will soon have the opportunity to earn a GCSE qualification in their native language, according to Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, Valeriy Zaluzhny. The UK Department for Education has announced plans to introduce an exam in Ukrainian, allowing Ukrainian children to officially certify their language skills and gain a British educational qualification.
Zaluzhny highlighted that this decision is the result of years of efforts by the Ukrainian community in the UK and their diplomats. The first exams are set to take place in 2029, with teaching beginning in September 2028. Zaluzhny praised the UK government, the Department for Education, and Ukrainian experts for their contributions to this initiative, particularly noting the efforts of Inna Hryhorovych, principal of the Ukrainian School of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and the broader Ukrainian community in the UK.
He emphasized that this step strengthens the Ukrainian-British partnership and ensures that Ukrainian children can maintain a connection to their homeland, regardless of where they live.
