In particular, the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine reported that the institution will operate in a mixed mode in the coming days, that is, some faculties will continue to study full-time, and some will switch to distance learning on May 8 and 9, "taking into account external threats."

If the faculty is able to organize quality distance learning, its students will study remotely, the rest - in laboratory conditions

At the same time, the Ministry of Education noted that they did not provide recommendations on the transition to distance learning and each institution chooses the form of education independently.

If any schools and even universities switch to distance learning on these days due to possible shelling, this is solely at their own discretion. No such recommendations have been received from the Ministry of Education

Therefore, the administration of each individual educational institution in Ukraine should inform about the form of education.
