Attention is drawn to today's statement by Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk regarding exams for graduation from school and admission to a university. This is the so-called UPE - external independent assessment, which now includes three compulsory subjects and one optional subject. The mandatory ones are: Ukrainian language, mathematics, history of Ukraine or foreign language.
Talking about a possible UPE reform, Irina Vereshchuk said, that the government is considering the possibility of including the Polish language in the list of examination subjects.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, "You have to think about, that uniting with the Poles is the key to sustainable development and our security”.
Vereshchuk:
Education and language are the main tools for such a union. We must move to concrete actions. They will allow us to integrate into the European space. According to Vereshchuk, if a change in Ukrainian legislation is required to include the Polish language in the list of UPE subjects, then "need to do it, so as not to slow down the process.
Recall, that earlier in Poland there were repeated statements about, that the western regions of Ukraine may eventually become Polish territories. Now even in the government of Ukraine they make it clear, that leaving under the Polish protectorate is quite possible, although the process is called "unification".
