According to him, it is only about the fact that the teaching of subjects at school is concentrated on useful knowledge, and the amount of teaching takes into account the child's ability to master it..

“Firstly, we must be aware that today we do not allow the reduction of key disciplines, such as the history of Ukraine, the Ukrainian language, chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology. That is, all those key disciplines that are in the school, they should remain. We are talking about optimizing the program, we are talking about their concentration with useful knowledge, we are talking about those disciplines that can be sacrificed, and today this is a matter of experts and peer review,” the minister said..

“Let’s say, you can more concentratedly present the basics of health or some other disciplines.. I will not name them so as not to create an unnecessary information wave.. It's a matter of expertise. All key disciplines, both natural and humanitarian, will be preserved, they should be concentrated, but presented in such a way as to take into account the child’s ability to learn all this amount of knowledge,” Oksen Lisovyi concluded..
