The Ministry of Science and Education of Ukraine has decided that a medical certificate is no longer required to enroll students in distance or individual education. UNN writes with reference to the press service of the educational ombudsman.
Details
The Ministry of Education and Science has adopted amendments according to which the head of an educational institution no longer has the right to demand a certificate No. 086/о from parents when enrolling a child in a general secondary education institution for distance or individual education. Accordingly, parents are not required to provide this medical certificate.
In February 2024, during the public discussion of the draft order, the Educational Ombudsman Service sent a number of proposals, including to abolish the requirement to provide a medical certificate when enrolling in distance learning.

According to the Educational Ombudsman:
There were appeals from the heads of educational institutions and parents of students regarding the requirement of a medical examination for students studying remotely or individually. The requirement to provide a medical certificate prevented children living in the temporarily occupied territories, abroad or internally displaced children who continued their education remotely at their institution from accessing Ukrainian education
It was noted that children cannot undergo a medical examination for enrollment in an educational institution of Ukraine while abroad or in the TOT. This violated their rights and eliminated the desire of these children and parents to receive education in a Ukrainian educational institution and thus maintain contact with Ukraine.
