Ukrainian Business Council joins the Global Business Coalition for Education
The Global Business Coalition for Education (GBC-Education) today announced a new partnership with the Ukrainian Business Council to advance business support for education in Ukraine.
Together, the Council and GBC-Education will collaborate to strengthen business engagement in education. As the newest member of GBC-Education, the Council will have access to the coalition’s resources and opportunities for collaboration. Both organizations will work to share best practices and knowledge to advance business engagement in education.
The Global Business Coalition for Education
The Global Business Coalition for Education has been active in Ukraine since 2022 when its members HP and Microsoft provided more than 70,000 devices to students and teachers affected by the war, both within Ukraine and in refugee-hosting countries.
Since then, GBC-Education and Theirworld have supported initiatives to help Ukrainian children continue their education, including the creation of an interactive Museum of Mathematics in Kyiv to strengthen Ukrainian children’s math and science skills – crucial to rebuilding the country – as well as efforts to reform preschool nationwide.
