The  All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (AUCCRO) signed a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, which provides for an obligation not to introduce provisions that contradict the traditional family values of the Ukrainian people into educational literature and curricula, the official website of the AUCCRO reports.

In particular, the programs approved by the Ministry of Education should not contain materials that threaten to devalue the institution of family, motherhood and fatherhood and deprive the family, responsible motherhood and fatherhood, of the educational ideal value.
