Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accepted a proposal from Prime Minister Yulia Svirydenko to establish a Ukrainian school in Slovakia. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to bolster cultural and educational cooperation between the two countries. The school will provide Ukrainian students with access to an education system that aligns with their national curriculum.
The decision comes amid growing regional interest in supporting Ukrainian communities abroad. Educational institutions have played a crucial role in maintaining cultural identity during times of conflict. By offering Ukrainian students a safe space to learn, the school aims to contribute to their long-term development and integration into Slovak society.
Both leaders have emphasized the importance of preserving Ukrainian heritage and providing support for diaspora communities. The establishment of the school represents a significant step in fostering mutual understanding and strengthening bilateral relations. While the project is in its early stages, it is expected to benefit both students and the broader Slovak community through increased cultural exchange and collaboration.
