A nationwide survey involving 2,520 teachers from 73 academic lyceums across 14 regions has identified the strengths of academic lyceums and areas requiring further improvement.

A total of 3,197 teachers work at these lyceums.

Aspects receiving positive assessments:

• 98.6% rated students’ preparedness for admission to higher education institutions positively;
• 95.6% consider the assessment system transparent;
• 93.6% reported that curricula are regularly updated;
• 81.7% consider curricula aligned with labour market requirements.

Areas requiring attention:

• 43.9% reported insufficient access to international professional development programmes and internships;
• 39.1% did not give a positive assessment of integration with international educational programmes;
• 25% considered their workload excessive;
• 23.8% believe that the material and technical resources are insufficient.

In addition, responses to open-ended questions (where respondents were free to express their views rather than choose from predefined options) frequently highlighted issues related to financial incentives, material and technical resources, professional development opportunities, and the need to update teaching materials.

The survey findings will be taken into account in compiling the National Ranking of Academic Lyceums. This will encourage lyceums to improve their educational conditions and the quality of education.

Further details of the survey findings are available in the analytical report.
