There is a growing need for people with English language skills in Ukraine. The government is currently working to make English more accessible to everyone.
This was announced on Telegram by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.
“We are preparing a draft law that, in particular, will consolidate English as a language of international communication,” Shmyhal said.
The Prime Minister added that the Cabinet is currently working on solutions that will make learning English more accessible to everyone.
“After the victory, we will launch a large-scale project to restore Ukraine. We expect a number of foreign companies and investors to come here to develop their business and create jobs. The English language opens up wide access to knowledge, the labor market, information and cultural products, and higher wages. Ukrainians should also benefit from these advantages, which will help establish Ukraine as a regional leader,” Shmyhal said.
Last August, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy drafted a bill to establish the special status of English in Ukraine as a language of international communication.
I’m sure many Ukrainians who are temporarily living in English speaking countries will return with a much higher level of English fluency. It’s great to see the Ukrainian government understanding the importance of the English language for Ukraine’s future, especially after their victory.
