Elections for the position of rector have begun at Karazin University — Kaganovskaya
The election process to select a new rector has begun at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The university decided not to postpone the election despite the full-scale war.
According to Tetiana Kaganovska, holding the election in Kharkiv is challenging due to the security situation, but the university community has decided not to abandon the democratic process.
In particular, Tetiana Kaganovska noted that she has stepped down as acting rector and will participate in the election.
“A new phase lies ahead: the election for rector of Karazin University. I will be participating in it. It is a matter of principle for me that candidates compete on equal footing and that the electoral process be open, transparent, and fair. That is why, as of September 1, I am stepping down from my position as acting rector,” she emphasized.
Kaganovska announced that she will submit her campaign platform to the organizing committee and begin meeting with staff from various departments at Karazin University.
“I want this to be an open and honest conversation about the future of Karazin University: what we need to preserve, what should be changed, and what we can do better together. I believe in our university. I believe in our people. And I know that together we can still do a great deal for our university,” she emphasized.
Tetyana Kaganovska, who has led the university since 2021, made this statement on her Facebook page.
In the 2026 ranking of Ukrainian universities, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv once again topped the list.
As a reminder, a graduate from Lviv set an academic record by scoring the maximum 800 points on the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT).
Participants in the main sessions of the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT), who took the exam on June 4 and 5, can now view their official results on a 100–200-point scale in their personal accounts.
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 declined and decided to wait until the testing was over and take the NMT on the same day.
