During September 2024, the leading specialist of the Institute of History, Ethnology and Archaeology of the Carpathians Bohdan Paska, as an expert of the expert commission on history of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, carried out a professional examination of the second part of the pilot project of the textbook for the course “History of Ukraine” for grade 8, authored by Oleksandr Panarin, Oleksandr Okhrimenko, Antonina Makarevych and Yulia Topolnytska. The textbook is created in accordance with the model curriculum “History of Ukraine. Grades 7–9” for general secondary education institutions (authors O. Pometun, T. Remekh, N. Hupan, Yu. Maliyenko, H. Serova).
Bohdan Paska’s expert opinion contains comments on the identified logical contradictions, factual errors, discrepancies with the model curriculum, grammatical and technical errors, etc. As a result, it was proposed to send the draft textbook for revision, taking into account the expert’s comments and recommendations.
