Representatives of the Department of Finance, Accounting and Banking of the Educational and Research Institute of Business, Management and Public Administration, Professor Viktor Trynchuk, Professor Nataliia Riazanova, Senior Lecturer Iryna Zelenitsa and Assistant Olena Boiko successfully completed the training program "Organization of inclusive education in an educational institution: from regulatory requirements to effective practice", created with the assistance of the UNESCO Representation in Ukraine. The amount of training was 9 hours (0.3 ECTS credits).

The program was aimed at developing inclusive competence, as well as improving psychological, emotional and ethical competences and the competence of pedagogical partnership.

Why is this important for the training of future financial sector professionals? The education of students specializing in "Finance, Banking, Insurance, and the Stock Market" entails not only the acquisition of solid professional knowledge but also the development of a professional culture, a sense of responsibility, communication skills, and the ability to interact effectively with individuals who have diverse needs and life experiences.

In the modern financial sector, the principles of inclusivity are of particular importance. The accessibility of banking services, financial inclusion, equal opportunities to utilize insurance and investment products, and non-discriminatory customer service are essential components in the development of a modern financial system. Understanding these principles helps instill in future professionals an awareness of the social responsibility of financial institutions and the significance of equal access to financial resources.

At the same time, developing the inclusive competence of teachers contributes to enhancing the educational process, addressing students' individual educational needs, and creating favorable conditions for them to realize their full potential. This is particularly relevant given today’s societal challenges, as higher education institutions must ensure equal opportunities for learning and professional development for every student.

The professional development of teachers at the Department of Finance, Accounting, and Banking is a vital component in ensuring the quality of higher education. The competencies acquired will help refine the Department’s pedagogical practices and foster in future finance professionals not only technical knowledge but also values ​​such as responsibility, respect, equality, and social inclusion.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of the training program - the UNESCO Representation in Ukraine and the experts involved in its implementation - for the relevant curriculum, its practical focus, and the significant contribution made to the advancement of inclusive education and the professional growth of academic staff.
