Educational centers “Crimea-Ukraine” and “Donbass-Ukraine” will be working from the 3rd-27th of September 2019 – to provide simplified enrollment for residents of uncontrolled territories

Educational centers “Crimea-Ukraine” and “Donbass-Ukraine” are to work for the fourth time for last years due to which residents of temporarily uncontrolled territories can entry into Ukrainian universities and vocational schools under simplified system.

“Concerning the enrolment of people from uncontrolled territories of Donbass and Crimea, we preserve a system of centers “Donbass-Ukraine” and “Crimea-Ukraine”. There our applicants from abovementioned territories can entry in universities or in vocational schools even without the External Independent Evaluation – only by the results of exams”, - the Minister of Education and Science Liliia Hrynevych announced during an hour-long session concerning issues addressed to the Government.

Thus, in order to apply a simplified procedure, the applicant has to address to the educational center, fill an educational declaration and pass three entry exams – Ukrainian Language, History of Ukraine and specialized field (or creative competition). It means that for enrollment in universities of in VET schools, ZNO and an Ukrainian passport or a school certificate are NOT mandatory. But at the same time, if the applicant has the results of ZNO or a Ukrainian school certificate, he can also enroll under simplified system. It is also important that a family name of each participant from occupied territories will be absolutely encrypted.

Centers “Crimea-Ukraine” will be working on the basis of 35 institutions of higher education in different regions of Ukraine – in Kyiv, Lviv, Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya – this year.
