By implementing the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, the university is forming an open and barrier-free educational space. This practical event served as a wonderful opportunity to support the students, help them adapt to difficult learning conditions, and demonstrate that applied science can be fascinating. This is an important step in overcoming learning losses and motivating future applicants to pursue higher education.

On the same day, Senior Lecturer Ravil Yanbekov and Assistant Andrii Koshkin visited the students of School No. 124, whose classes are held in a specially equipped underground school in the Saltivskyi district. They conducted a mathematical master class, “Battle of the Fishermen,” for the schoolchildren. The format of the interactive game proved to be highly successful and aroused genuine interest, with most of the children eagerly engaging in the process as both active participants and attentive listeners.

These events contributed to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education. They provided free access to high-quality mathematical training, specifically for schoolchildren from various social and educational backgrounds, thereby creating an inclusive space for learning, self-realization, and development. This not only helped improve the participants’ academic results and compensate for learning losses but also motivated them to pursue higher education in the future.

During the event, our lecturers, Vladyslav Parkhomenko and Mykyta Hvozdiev, conducted mathematical quests and quizzes. They presented the educational programs of the Department of Applied Mathematics, discussed prospects for professional development, and guided prospective students in choosing their future educational path.

The participation of the Department of Applied Mathematics faculty contributed to the popularization of mathematics among young people and strengthened the ties between the university and the local community.

Implementing such educational initiatives exemplifies the realization of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education, as they provide access to up-to-date knowledge, stimulate interest in scientific disciplines, and help schoolchildren make informed choices regarding their educational trajectory.
