Education Continuation Programs
Ukrainians can continue their schooling/ studies with our programs
TEEI Open University
We are building a free online university for Ukrainians, where they will be able to study with us and sit their exams at one of our partner universities.
This program is crucial for university students who have had their degrees disrupted by the war. Many are unable to continue their studies in Ukraine or their new host countries because of mandatory language requirements or limited capacity at local universities.
We aim to enroll 10,000 students in this program in the next six months, but the program will have a potential capacity of up to 100,000 students.
TEEI Online Ukrainian School
We are in talks to receive the official school curriculum of Ukraine and make it available on our TEEI itslearning platform.
We will enroll Ukrainian children in an online school that follows the same structure as the Ukrainian school system taught by Ukrainian teachers, providing them with a resemblance to life back home and an environment with other Ukrainian children.
Our short-term goal is to enrol up to 4,000 children.

University Support Program
TEEI, in cooperation with Our partners, have developed a program to support Ukrainian educational institutions that have been disrupted and internally displaced.
Through the program, TEEI will supply universities with resources such as free, world-class software for education management, software, hardware, admin support, teachers and more.
This support will ease the relocation process of educational institutions while also allowing students to continue their education seamlessly. In addition, implementing Europe’s leading educational infrastructure will enrich educational management and teaching in Ukraine.
TEEI is currently in dialogue with a dozen Ukrainian higher education institutions. Our goal is to assist as many Ukrainian universities as possible.We are truly grateful to our existing partners for their efforts. However, we always need more resources to help more students. We would love to see more Norwegian and international companies join our endeavors!
