Knowledge Universe › Global Learning Pilot
Global Learning Pilot · conceptOne engine. Two real curricula. An individual bridge.
The first cross-curriculum pilot: Germany → Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Ukraine, Mathematics first. Not a claim that one system is better — a working demonstration that one Knowledge Engine can understand two different education systems and build an individual bridge between them.
1 · Core product model
A learner can have a Primary and a Parallel curriculum.
Example: My School — Ukraine → Grade 7. Parallel — Germany → Mecklenburg-Vorpommern → Gymnasium → Klasse 7. Four modes work on the same underlying data:
My School
Learn on your own curriculum — the parallel one stays out of the way.
Parallel School
See what the second curriculum expects, on its own terms.
Compare
Both side by side: what matches, what comes earlier or later, what's missing.
Bridge
Only the real gaps — never repeating what is already demonstrated or retained.
Never shown: "better country", "worse school", an education-quality score. Only: matches · comes earlier · comes later · needs a bridge topic · already covers more than the second programme.
3 · Curriculum identity
A country is not a curriculum object.
Treating "Germany" or "Ukraine" as one object breaks immediately: a full curriculum position needs country, region (where applicable), education stage, school type (where applicable), grade/year, subject and curriculum version — and, as the two keys below show, even "subject" is not the same shape in both systems.
country Germany region Mecklenburg-Vorpommern education_stage Sekundarbereich I school_type Gymnasium grade 7 subject Mathematik (one subject) curriculum_version Rahmenplan Mathematik, Gymnasium 7–10 — new version effective 01.08.2027 (ascending), prior version valid through 31.07.2031 curriculum_source bildung-mv.de/unterricht/rahmenplaene (Ministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur M-V) verification_date 2026-09-16
country Ukraine region n/a (national state standard) education_stage Базова середня освіта / Basic secondary (grades 5–9), subject-teaching cycle (7–9) school_type n/a (single comprehensive pathway through grade 9) grade 7 subject Алгебра / Algebra + Геометрія / Geometry (two subjects, not one) curriculum_version Model curriculum "Mathematics 7–9" (algebra + geometry components), within the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 898, 30.09.2020) — 2025/2026–2026/2027 school years curriculum_source mon.gov.ua/osvita-2/zagalna-serednya-osvita/derzhavni-standarti (Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine) verification_date 2026-09-16
This is exactly why §4's mapping needs a real "subject" concept, not a single text field: a naive 1:1 row between "MV Mathematik" and "Ukraine Mathematics" would silently merge two Ukrainian subjects into one.
2 · First pilot pair
Two real school systems, current official sources only.
Germany → Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Grundschule (1–4) → Orientierungsstufe (5–6) → Regionale Schule (7–10) / Gymnasium (7–12). Full structure and sources already verified on School; re-confirmed today, plus one new detail: the Sekundarbereich I Mathematik Rahmenplan (Regionale Schule and Gymnasium, grades 7–10) is mid-transition — a new version becomes effective 1 August 2027 (phased in grade by grade), the current version remains valid through 31 July 2031 for grades the new version hasn't reached yet.
Ukraine
Початкова освіта / Primary (1–4, state standard 2018) → Базова середня освіта / Basic secondary (5–9: adaptation cycle 5–6, subject-teaching cycle 7–9; state standard via Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 898, 30.09.2020) → Профільна середня освіта / Profile secondary (10–12; new standard approved 2024, first NUS-reform cohort transitions to it from 2027). From grade 7, "Mathematics" is taught as two subjects — Algebra and Geometry — under MON-approved model curricula (several competing author variants exist; schools choose among them, there is no single fixed national textbook).
Honest limit, carried over from the School page and reconfirmed today: the actual MV Rahmenplan PDFs are scanned documents this prototype could not machine-read reliably, so no page-by-page topic content is claimed from them. The Ukraine model-programme documents were not cross-checked topic-by-topic either. Structural facts above (stages, grade ranges, subject counts, document names/dates) are verified; specific topic-to-topic placement is not — see the Compare page's honest use of the NOT VERIFIED state.
11 · Roadmap — the real family pilot stays gated
Phase 0 now. Phase 1 only once four things are ready.
Phase 0 — now
Public static concept, no real learner, no accounts, no data of any kind.
Phase 1 — future, gated
A small closed family pilot: approximately 5–10 MV families and 5–10 Ukrainian families, free access. Requires before activation: guardian / minor policy ready, privacy / legal review ready (both jurisdictions), real data storage design ready, moderation / support owner ready. None of these is implemented now.
12 · Low-bandwidth principle
Global learning has to work on a cheap phone and a bad connection.
Roadmap only — nothing below is built. No video-heavy dependency is designed into the core.
Target devices: a cheap Android phone, a tablet, an old laptop, a school computer — on an unstable connection.
13 · Compatibility with existing concepts
Built to compose, not to duplicate.
This pilot reuses vocabulary and mechanisms already established elsewhere, rather than inventing new ones — but not everything it references is live in this public preview yet, and this page says which is which.
Already live in this preview
Common Table (three-voice check) · Community Library, My Study Space and Rights Profile (the one library model) · the A–P evidence-class system and Mastery's LEARNED NOW / RETAINED LATER states (both on the Evidence Panel / Learning Engine).
Concept only — not deployed anywhere yet
The full six-state Learning Memory scale, the Guardian model, Safe Study Hold, Notebook / Workboard, adaptive pace and visual themes exist today only as a separate, local-only, unpublished prototype. This pilot's Passport and Bridge pages use the same state names on purpose (e.g. RETAINED, PRACTISING) so the two can connect without renaming anything, once that prototype is separately reviewed and authorized.
14 · Scope — no expansion
Still a static concept, nothing more.
Sources & verification
Where the structure above comes from.
Checked directly against current official sources on 2026-09-16. Named here as plain text, not linked out — this static preview makes zero outbound calls; look them up directly to check.
- MV school structure & Rahmenplan versions: bildung-mv.de/unterricht/rahmenplaene (Ministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) — re-confirmed today, including the 1 August 2027 version-transition dates for the Sekundarbereich I Mathematik Rahmenplan.
- Ukraine education stages & state standards: mon.gov.ua/osvita-2/zagalna-serednya-osvita/derzhavni-standarti (Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine); Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Resolution No. 898 (30.09.2020), for the Basic Secondary Education state standard specifically.
- Ukraine structural cross-check: Eurydice — the European Commission's official national-education-systems database — for stage names, cycle structure (adaptation 5–6 / subject-teaching 7–9) and standard-introduction years (2018 primary, 2020 basic, 2024 specialised).
- Grade 7 Mathematics = Algebra + Geometry: cross-confirmed via current (2025/2026–2026/2027 school year) references to MON-approved model curricula for grades 7–9 (multiple author variants exist, e.g. Ister O.S.; Vasylishyn, Mylyanyk, Pratsovytyy, Prostakova, Shkolnyy — schools choose among approved variants).
- Honest limit: neither the MV Rahmenplan PDFs nor the Ukrainian model-programme documents were machine-read topic-by-topic for this prototype — see the Compare page for exactly which mappings are marked NOT VERIFIED as a result.
