Universities enrol almost 5,000 from occupied territories

This year, almost 5,000 applicants from temporarily occupied territories (TOTs) entered Ukrainian universities, said Serhiy Babak, a People’s Deputy from “Servant of the People” and head of the Committee on Education, Science, and Innovation, as reported by UNN.

The MP explained that quotas for children from TOTs are in effect because they are not always able to pass the national multi-subject test due to security threats or lack of internet access. All children from temporarily occupied territories, from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, or from Donbas, or those children who are in the zone of active hostilities have the right to enter universities under quota 2, Babak explained.

Ninety-nine per cent of the applicants were enrolled in full-time study on a state-funded basis.
