New technology built by Palantir will support a drive by the
Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine to give 300,000 more
pupils safe access to a school
The Ministry of Education and Science, along with Palantir
(NYSE:PLTR), a leading provider of AI systems, have signed an
agreement. The main goal is to facilitate qualitative
transformations in the field of education and ensure the maximum
number of children have access to safe in-person learning.
The agreement, initially for 12 months, will support the
Government’s official School Offline initiative which aims to
provide 300,000 more Ukrainian pupils with safe access to a school.
New software tooling will enable:
- Funding allocated for school bomb shelters to be targeted where
it will deliver the greatest benefit for children and young people
of a school age.
- Every school to receive a risk rating according to a
methodology recently adopted in law as a Cabinet of Ministers
decree, in order to help identify targeted measures that will
improve the safety of a school. The rating will take into account
factors such as historic shelling in the area, presence of a bomb
shelter, safety of access and missile defense systems.
The 100 percent off-line initiative is a response to the sharp
increase in the number of children and young people in Ukraine who
are being educated online since Russia’s illegal full-scale
invasion. Research estimates that more than 40 percent of children
in Ukraine are relying on online or hybrid learning due to the war.
It has caused educational losses, thus according to the PISA-2022
international education quality survey, Ukrainian students lag
behind the required level by 1.5 to 2.5 years of study.
These new tools are part of a wider suite of software support
which will also enable:
- Analysis of educational and financial data, as well as the
current model of the education system, to transform Soviet-era
educational institutions into modern innovative spaces based on
this data;
- Assessment of the security situation in communities to create
all necessary conditions for in-person learning for children;
- Analysis of children's academic achievements, their correlation
with the security situation, and other factors to make further
management decisions regarding the transformation of the Ukrainian
education system as a whole and individual educational
institutions;
- Provision of innovative technologies, including artificial
intelligence, as well as analytical tools and models for making
effective management decisions by educational institutions,
communities, local self-government bodies, and directly by the
Government;
- Modeling a support network for Ukrainian children who are
forcibly staying abroad through the integration of a Ukrainian
studies component in selected educational institutions that provide
quality educational services in a distance learning format.
Dmytro Zavgorodnii, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of
Ukraine for digital development, digital transformations and
digitalization, said: “Palantir technologies will provide us with
innovative tools for creating policies based on a data-driven
approach. Thus, it will help us make effective management decisions
in the field of educational policies. The Ministry of Education and
Science has diligently collaborated with Palantir, harnessing its
cutting-edge technologies to devise an innovative approach and
formulate a comprehensive methodology for assessing war-related
risk levels within different regions of the education system for
restoration of access to offline and secure education at
schools.”
Louis Mosley, Executive Vice President for UK and Europe at
Palantir, said: “Today’s agreement reinforces Palantir’s steadfast
support for Ukraine, building on the use of our software to support
the military effort, the resettlement of those forced to flee
abroad, the investigation into war crimes and critical demining
efforts. It will help to reduce the number of young people denied
the basic human right of in-person education because of Russian
aggression, as well as helping to shape the country’s education
policy in the long term.”
