Ways to overcome educational losses in higher technological education

The article analysed the challenges associated with overcoming educational losses in higher technological education in Ukraine during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war. In this research, particular attention was given to defining the concept of “educational losses”, identifying their causes and consequences, and outlining strategic approaches to minimising their negative impact. The research aimed to identify effective strategies for addressing educational losses and enhancing the quality of higher technological education under crisis conditions. Key factors contributing to reduced learning efficiency are examined, including the transition to distance learning, deterioration in the psychological state of participants, a reduction in the student body, and the destruction of educational infrastructure. To address these challenges, the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine has implemented innovative measures such as expanding access to electronic courses via the MOODLE platform, launching a digital transformation programme, organising remedial courses for first-year students, and creating a supportive learning environment. Within the scope of the presented research, emphasis was placed on the advantages of a blended learning format that integrates theoretical and practical components more effectively. Significant attention was also given to psychological support for students and faculty, enhancing motivation and ensuring safety. The University has developed flexible learning algorithms that support parity between different educational formats, facilitating student integration into the learning process. The article concluded with recommendations for monitoring educational losses and improving curricula to maintain educational quality and adaptability in the face of modern challenges. The practical value of the study lies in offering a replicable model for educational institutions to respond effectively to crises, ensuring the continuity and resilience of higher education
