Presentation of the nation-wide study on the toll on education: results of student testing

Why this is interesting: 
A nationwide monitoring study of the quality of education in general secondary education institutions under the conditions of war was conducted to determine and track 6th and 8th grade students’ progress with learning Ukrainian language and mathematics (algebra and geometry). The results of the study show which topics students mastered better and which worse as well as the level of success by region and the factors affecting their success.
