On September 4, 2025, the Pedagogical Summit of heads of educational institutions of the autonomy “Education Navigator: Strategies and Priorities of the New Academic Year” took place. The event served as a platform for summing up results and discussing key tasks facing schools and kindergartens.

We are confident that the development of education begins with the joint efforts of science, practice, and management experience. This event is an important professional platform that brings together leaders whose experience, responsibility, and wisdom determine the future of education. Our university trains future teachers – those who will continue the best traditions of teaching and bring new ideas into educational practice. Within the walls of the university, we strive to form professionals for whom pedagogy is both a profession and a calling – a path of service to society and children.
I am sure that today’s meeting will become an event capable of setting new benchmarks, strengthening partnership, and inspiring the search for strategies that will allow every educational institution to successfully enter the new academic year.
I wish you fruitful work, meaningful discussions, and bold decisions. May the summit become for all of us a source of professional growth and strengthen our belief that education is the main investment in the future of our region and the country as a whole.”
The central event of the summit was the discussion panel “Education Navigator: Strategies and Priorities of the New Academic Year.” Among the issues raised were the quality of graduate training, adaptation of young specialists, the role of the trade union in their support, as well as the development of multilingual education.
As part of the summit, a solemn award ceremony took place. Lyceums, gymnasiums, and early childhood institutions received well-deserved awards for their achievements in the past academic year. The results of the ranking of educational institutions were also announced, reflecting not only the quality of schools’ and kindergartens’ work but also the contribution of teaching teams to the development of the education system of the autonomy.
