DIANA KRECHETOVA – THURSDAY, 21 JULY 2022
In the city of Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast the national multidisciplinary test (NMT) won’t be held this year.
The Ukrainian Center for Education Quality Assessment (UCEQA) cites the deterioration of the security situation against the background of the full-scale war as the reason for cancelling the NMT.
The participants will be offered the opportunity to take the test within the main session of the NMT, which started on 18 July. They will be able to take the test on the same date as they planned to, but in another city.
The UCEQA has added that all the details concerning the test have been posted on the participants’ information web-pages.
"On behalf of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Center for Education Quality Assessment we apologise for the current situation.
We hope to have your kind understanding, and we hope that all the applicants will be able to pass the test and enrol in their dream universities," the UCEQA stated.
Background: During the last few days the security situation in Nikopol has drastically worsened: on 19 July Russians hit the city with "Grad" multiple rocket launchers. That day as many as 40 air attacks were reported.
On 20 July, the Russians launched over 30 projectiles on the city, as a result of which private houses were destroyed and damaged. Two people were killed and 9 injured.
