​Over recent years, Ukraine has been rapidly developing a modern European strategy for providing quality education at all levels. The aspiration of society for democratic change has led to the development and testing of the concept of the New Ukrainian school and the relevant documents that will facilitate its implementation.

​The new Ukrainian school is defined as a key public reform aimed at providing students with not only knowledge but also the development of their ability to apply them in life, that is, the creation of “key competencies for life and peaceful coexistence with other people in a multicultural and democratic society” (Association Agreement with the EU, 2015).

Leading slogan of the New Ukrainian School: “Key competencies are those that everyone needs for personal development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment, and who can provide personal fulfillment and life success throughout their lives,” defines the path of change and the implementation of the principles of the European education in Ukraine.

​Cross-cutting issues can be integrated in a lesson through three ways:

1. Content of the lesson

2. Methods and techniques that teacher uses while teaching

3. Attitudes and activities of the teacher since it is said that teacher is role model.
