Providing educational opportunities in Ukraine for residents of the annexed Crimea is a strategic task of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. This was stated by the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine, Liliya Hrynevych, during her speech on June 16 at the parliamentary hearings. The topic of the hearing was: "Strategy of reintegration into Ukraine of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol: problematic issues, ways, methods and methods."

"The Ministry of Education sees its task as creating all the opportunities for migrant children from Crimea, as well as those who remained in the annexed territories, so that they can get a quality Ukrainian education. To this end, we launched a broad information campaign, created "Ukraine-Crimea" educational centers that will help entrants from Crimea to get into Ukrainian higher education institutions, and also specially organized an additional session of the ZNO from July 2 to 9," Liliya Hrynevych said during her speech from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

In a strategic perspective, the minister emphasized the need to emphasize the humanitarian and worldview aspect of Crimea's reintegration into Ukraine.

"The return of Crimea is the return of Crimeans. It will not be an easy process and every year under the Russian occupation will complicate our task. That is why the fundamental struggle for people should be for us. We must create such conditions for Ukrainians, Russians, Tatars and other peoples of Crimea, so that they aspire to Ukraine, get our education, realize themselves as happy and successful people", - from the report of Lilia Hrynevych at the parliamentary hearing.
