The Ukrainian education sector faces several challenges and reforms in 2025. A significant concern is the observed decline in NMT (National Multi-subject Test) registrations, with nearly 32% of high school graduates not registering, impacting university admissions. Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada considers legislation restricting vocational students over 25 from mobilization deferment, aiming to close loopholes. Internationally, Ukraine is strengthening ties with Moldova through mutual recognition of educational documents. Additionally, NATO is set to audit Ukraine's military universities, enhancing institutional standards. In collaboration with Japan, Ukraine receives substantial support for educational infrastructure amid ongoing war challenges.

What steps is Ukraine taking to address the drop in NMT registration among graduates?

Ukraine acknowledges the 32% decline in National Multi-subject Test registrations as a significant issue. Strategies potentially include increasing awareness, support programs for students, and revising the test process to better engage and prepare students, ensuring higher registration rates and smoother transitions to higher education.

How does Ukraine plan to implement mutual educational recognition with Moldova?

The recent agreement between Ukraine and Moldova facilitates the mutual recognition of educational documents and academic degrees. This agreement aims to ease academic mobility and qualifications evaluation, thus promoting closer educational and cultural ties between the two neighboring nations, fostering cooperation, and enhancing career opportunities for graduates.

What is the significance of NATO's audit of Ukrainian military universities?

NATO's audit of Ukrainian military universities, starting May 2025, is crucial for aligning these institutions with international standards. It aims to enhance training quality, improve institutional practices, and ensure Ukrainian military education is robust and competitive, supporting Ukraine's broader integration into Euro-Atlantic defense frameworks.

What changes are proposed regarding vocational education deferment policies in Ukraine?

The Ukrainian government is proposing to limit deferment from mobilization for vocational education students over 25. This move aims to close existing loopholes that some use to avoid military service. The proposed changes will require legislative approval and reflect a broader effort to balance educational needs with national defense requirements.

How is Japan supporting education and private sectors in Ukraine amid current challenges?

Japan is significantly supporting Ukraine's education and private sectors by providing $235 million through the World Bank's LEARN and RISE projects. This aid targets infrastructure development, educational quality improvement, and bolstering economic resilience, reflecting international support for Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical and domestic challenges.
