External independent testing (EIT) in Ukraine has not been abolished; higher education institutions' admission preserves its usual format. The Minister of Education and Science, Serhiy Shkarlet, made this statement today during a joint telemarathon.
"As for the EIT, there is no information about its abolition as of today. We did work out options for this situation while communicating with the parents' community and with members of the Education Committee. We submitted a bill that would change the admission procedure once. We created three possible options for entering higher education institutions without using EIT in the standard format in which it is stated by law. But today, these are only proposals, "said the Minister.
The bill that the ministry was considering has not even been submitted to Parliament. It means that the format of the EIT has not changed, and admission to universities will take place the same way as it was in previous years.
Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment previously reported that a pilot EIT in March would not occur due to Russia's military invasion. Scarlett himself announced the abolition of EIT and entrance exams a few days ago.
