The launch of the Unified Interdepartmental Electronic Platform for Foreign Students, strengthening of the licensing conditions for education, and introduction of an independent exam were discussed during the second meeting chaired by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal today, December 29th, 2020.

 

Representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ukrainian State Center for International Education, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took part in the meeting.

 

“The creation of an electronic platform for the admission of foreign students should remove the human factor, intermediaries in the educational process and other factors that can lead to corruption. After all, quality of education received by foreign students primarily affects the image of Ukraine” – said the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmyhal.

 

Accelerating the launch of the E-platform, according to the Prime Minister, will improve the efficiency of promotion, increase the export of Ukrainian educational services and ensure transparency and accessibility of education for foreign students.

 

During the meeting, constructive proposals on the improvement of the educational process of foreign students in Ukraine were made. Among them: the introduction of an independent exam for foreign students, the need to strengthen licensing conditions for the education of foreign students and increase responsibility for non-compliance with them.

 

Ensuring the development and implementation of the E-platform for the procedure of admission of foreigners and stateless persons in higher education institutions in Ukraine was entrusted to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.

 

We would also like to remind that “Study in Ukraine” has presented the Center’s Development Strategy for 2021-2025.
