The decision is made by the institution
At the same time, the final decision on the format of education is made by the higher education institution itself within the powers provided for by its autonomous status, taking into account the security and energy situation on the ground.
Support centres at universities
It is noted that universities across the country continue to set up support centres for students and staff, as well as for people in their communities where possible.
