The ‘Child with Future’ Foundation within the International Autism Academy conducts training events for teachers to improve their skills following the Procedure for professional development of teaching staff (Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of August 21, 2019, № 800). The new ‘On Complete General Secondary Education’ Law (hereinafter – the Law on PZSO) was adopted on January 16, 2020. It details new approaches to the professional development of teachers, which are taken into account in preparing training activities by the ‘Child with Future’ Foundation.

According to the Procedure, the total amount of professional development of a pedagogical staff may not be less than 150 hours per five years for secondary, technical, and professional education institutions. The amount of professional development at preschools or out-of-school educational institutions is established by its founder (or its authorized body), but may not be less than 120 hours per five years.

Minimum requirements for the amount (number of hours) of the advanced training courses for teachers of secondary and professional education:
