Ukraine's education ministry allocates over 1 billion UAH for 9th-grade textbooks
Ukraine's Ministry of Education has allocated 1.28 billion UAH for 9th-grade textbooks for 2026, with "Ranok" and "Geneza" securing the largest orders. Questions arise about the investment's outcome and other publishers' low participation.
Ukraine's Ministry of Education has allocated 1.28 billion UAH for the procurement of textbooks for ninth-grade students for the 2026 academic year. Publishers "Ranok" and "Geneza" secured the largest share of these state orders, accounting for 23% and 22% of the total sum, respectively. This substantial investment has led to inquiries regarding its potential effectiveness and the reasons behind the limited participation of other publishing houses in securing these contracts. The expenditure is described as a "huge investment with unknown results" by one publication, which also questioned why other market players are not actively engaging in this procurement direction.
