Teaching Opportunities and Support for Ukrainian Educators
Amid the millions of refugees forced to flee Ukraine, an estimated 10-17% have previously
worked in the education sector. The expertise and qualifications of Ukrainian educators
can be harnessed in host countries to provide vital support for Ukrainian students
who are navigating unfamiliar educational systems, while also offering them continued
career opportunities in their chosen field and supporting the local education system.
Drawing insights from recent OECD survey results, this brief provides an overview
of the efforts initiated by OECD countries to employ Ukrainian teachers, while identifying
the obstacles which persist such as qualifications recognition, training gaps, and
language barriers. Measures such as streamlining recruitment processes, fostering
flexibility in qualification recognition, and providing tailored training for teachers
and assistants can help optimise their potential.
