The first 100,000 teachers will be able to register to participate in the piloting of the updated professional development funding model, “Money Follows the Teacher.” Those undergoing professional development will also be able to register.
Registration involves creating a user profile on the state platform “Vector” (formerly EdWay). This is the first and mandatory step in applying to participate in the “Money Follows the Teacher” pilot program.
When personal accounts become available, information about the possibility of accessing your account will be sent to the email address specified when creating your user profile, where participants will be able to add their data and apply to participate in the pilot program.
You can register at: https://vector.uied.gov.ua/uk/
Important: for teachers and service providers who are EdWay users and who have given their consent to the transfer of personal data by October 31, 2025, accounts will be retained on the updated Vector platform. The personal accounts of those who did not give their consent have been deleted from the EdWay platform in accordance with the requirements of the law and privacy policy. They have been sent an archive of their data to the email address specified in their user profiles.
Who can participate in the pilot program?
Principals, vice principals, and teachers who will be working in grades 7–9 of the New Ukrainian School and 10 pilot classes of senior specialized schools in the 2026–2027 academic year.
