Abstract
This study investigated the development and implementation of the YEP (Your Educational Path) system, an educational technology ecosystem, developed by Tatl Technology, and deployed across Ukraine during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing war. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research drew on official government data from a learning management system pilot program (2019–2023), usage analytics (2019–2024), and documentation from public-private stakeholders. The analysis evaluates the YEP ecosystem through four dimensions: functionality, scalability, policy alignment, and crisis resilience. Key findings included rapid adoption across 2,193 schools, engagement of over 1.8 million users, and integration of AI-driven diagnostics and mental health support tools by the end of 2023. These findings have contributed to global discourse on education in emergencies and suggested a replicable model for resilient digital schooling in conflict-affected contexts.
