By 2030, the share of young teachers in schools should be 40%. We are talking about teachers under the age of 35. Currently the figure is 22.5% - that's 234.5 thousand people, the press service of the Ministry of Education reported. They also added that the number of vacant positions in the schools at the beginning of the 2017 academic year was 12 thousand, or 1.1% of the total number of teachers. By 2030, this share will not exceed 1%. The ministry stated that in order to achieve this result, the training of the experts must be based on the real needs of the educational institutions and support the teacher after receiving a diploma.
