Innovations will be introduced to secondary school curricula in 2013, Ukrainian Education, Science, Youth and Sports Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk has said.

"All of the proposed projects will be implemented on Sept. 1, 2013, after they have been considered and approved," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Monday.

According to the minister, there will be no changes in school curricula in September 2012, when the new school year begins, as the introduction of new educational standards takes time.

A new syllabus and curriculum will be developed first, and then the list of schoolbooks will be provided, Tabachnyk said.
