Lisovyi: Ninth- and tenth-grade students will be able to finish their studies at their current schools following the Council’s decision
Whether 9th-grade students, as well as those who have already been promoted to 10th grade, will be able to complete their studies at their current schools depends on the Verkhovna Rada’s approval of the relevant legislative changes.
This was stated by Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi during question time with the government.
According to him, the Ministry of Education and Science is currently guided by the current version of the Law “On Complete General Secondary Education,” adopted in 2020.
At the same time, draft laws No. 15082 and No. 15082-1 have been registered in parliament, which provide for the possibility for 9th and 10th-grade students to complete their studies at their current schools.
“Once the law is passed, the Ministry of Education and Science will, for its part, ensure all necessary subordinate legislation is in place,” Lisovyi noted.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment commented on the situation in the Odesa region, where participants in the National Multidisciplinary Test spent nearly 13 hours at the testing center due to prolonged air raid alerts. According to the agency, graduates were offered the option to reschedule the exam for an additional session, but they refused and decided to wait until the testing was completed and take the NMT on the same day.
An alternative bill to change the format of the National Multisubject Test (NMT) has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. The document proposes reducing the number of subjects from four to three. In this case, mathematics would be an elective subject.
