Details
"For" - 274 votes. At the Committee meeting, we supported this draft Law and recommended that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine consider it in the hall
The draft law provides for the expansion of state support in the field of education, primarily for those who have suffered educational losses due to the war. It is noted that currently such support is mainly limited to benefits during admission, however, according to the official, this is not enough to obtain quality education and complete studies.
This refers to individual support (including tutoring and additional classes with teachers), preparatory and adaptation programs, as well as a separate preparatory year in higher education institutions. State support should not be limited only to benefits when entering higher education institutions; it is important to expand assistance tools already at the stage of study so that children can catch up on educational losses and fully continue the educational process
The document also provides for amendments to a number of laws in the field of education and social protection. The Cabinet of Ministers is to determine the procedure for providing such support and develop a Strategy for Catching Up on Educational Losses until 2030.
This refers to supporting children and youth from vulnerable categories, internally displaced persons, and demobilized military personnel who have suffered educational losses and need additional assistance to catch up and succeed in their studies
