Ukraine has launched the "Home" platform for Ukrainians abroad
The Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity of Ukraine, in collaboration with the German government, officially launched the “Home” digital platform, which is designed to help Ukrainians abroad obtain the information they need to return to Ukraine and reintegrate into society.
According to the minister, the “Home” platform was created as a single digital space that brings together all the information needed to prepare for a return to Ukraine.
Users can find information on obtaining the necessary documents, finding housing, government services and support programs, educational opportunities, employment, and services and opportunities offered by Ukrainian communities.
“The platform brings together verified information about government services, support programs, and opportunities in specific communities in one place, allowing people to understand which options are available specifically for their situation,” noted Denys Ulyutin.
According to the minister, during the test week, the platform was visited by over 10,000 users from more than 10 countries, demonstrating high interest in the new digital service.
The “Home” platform was created as part of the international YOUA project—“Shaping New Paths, Building Ukraine’s Future,” implemented by the German government agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German government in cooperation with the Ukrainian ministry.
Hanna Nickel, director of the YOUA project, emphasized that the new service is intended to become an effective tool for interaction between citizens, communities, and the state.
“The ‘Home’ platform brings together people, local communities, as well as state institutions and the government. It helps make access to information easier, cooperation more effective, and support more visible,” she emphasized.
Denis Ulyutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity, announced the launch of the service during an official presentation.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for Ukrainian children living abroad to balance their studies at local schools with distance learning at Ukrainian educational institutions. This was reported by Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada’s Commissioner for Human Rights.
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 bill proposes reducing the number of subjects to be tested from four to three. In this case, mathematics would be an elective subject.
