The Open Policy Foundation’s hotline for entrants starts operating at MoES on June 24

 

A hotline for entrants on admission to higher education institutions (hereinafter - HEI) is launched in partnership with the Open Policy Foundation to work at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine from June 24 to August 9, 2019. The Foundation's consultants will provide advice to residents of temporarily non-government controlled areas of Ukraine (hereafter - NGCA), territories along the “contact line” and the Crimea regarding a simplified admission procedure using the “Donbas-Ukraine” and “Crimea-Ukraine” Education Centers (hereinafter - ECs).

 

It is also very symbolic that volunteers of the hotline will be students of the V.I. Vernadsky Taurida National University, displaced in Kyiv, who entered this institution through the ECs (TNU is the only HEI with both “Donbas- Ukraine” and “Crimea-Ukraine” ECs).

 

You can receive consultations on admission procedure by telephones mentioned below.

Consultations on the admission procedure will be also provided at the Ministry of Education and Science by e-mail - vstup2019@mon.gov.ua - and during a personal reception at the address: Kyiv, 16 Shevchenko Blvd., a foyer and conference room 2 (4th floor, room 401).

 

The Dostupna Osvita website (https://dostupnaosvita.com.ua/) works for residents of Donbas and the Crimea. Dostupna Osvita is an assistant to each entrant and student from NGCA and the Crimea. The website has free, WITHOUT registration, video lessons in the Ukrainian language, the history of Ukraine and other subjects; it also has video tutorials, the Google Maps of ECs and schools with distant education/external studies in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. The site is adapted for visually impaired people.

 

For the fourth consecutive year, the Open Policy Foundation has made efforts, in cooperation with UNICEF and USAID, to organize the work of the education hotline (at MoES, for the period of the admission campaign) for children and youth from temporarily NGCA in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, territories along the “contact line” and the Crimea.

 

For three years of work (2016 - 2018), the Open Policy Foundation’s hotline has received 26,431 calls.

 

More than 4 600 calls were from the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine (over 1,000 calls were from the Crimea, and more than 3 600 calls, from NGCA, territories along the “contact line”).

 

As a result, for 3 years, 4 317 entrants from the East and Crimea have benefited from the simplified admission procedure using the “Donbas-Ukraine” and “Crimea-Ukraine” ECs.

  • Conditions of admission procedure in 2019; possibility to enter HEIs using the simplified system in 2019;
  • Benefits for children of ATO participants and IDPs;
  • Distance education and external studies;
  • Transfer to a vacant budget-funded place;
  • Inability to use the rural coefficient because of the registration in NGCA.
