Anti-Crisis Management of an Educational Institution at War: Reforms, Changes, and Innovations in Education

Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war has had a devastating impact on human life and undermined economies around the world, dealing a serious blow to Ukraine's education system. The Russian-Ukrainian war quickly led to the closure of universities and colleges, schools, and preschools, which should help reduce the total number of deaths from war. The most important war precaution, called "social distance," was to keep children alive. Closing educational institutions to keep children alive during the war entailed changing face-to-face classes to online learning, which necessitated the search for e-learning platforms for effective teacher-student interaction. The Russian-Ukrainian war revealed shortcomings in the management of educational institutions under conditions of war and the need to improve the training of teachers in the perspective of digital technology to adapt to digital education. After the war, distance learning and virtual-digital education may become an integral part of the higher education system. Higher education institutions are already planning educational and experiential strategies to ensure student learning outcomes in the future. The article presents changes and innovations in the educational system, in the management of the educational institution during the Russian-Ukrainian war, outlines models of education during the Russian-Ukrainian war; calculates ways of anti-crisis management of the educational institution in conditions of war.
