Higher educational institutions will pay their graduates, who have obtained education in the fields and specialties of the pedagogical profile, a one-time targeted financial aid. The corresponding order was signed by Deputy Minister of Education Volodymyr Kovtunets.

Financial assistance will be provided to those graduates who in 2016 received their education in the areas and specialties of the pedagogical profile and concluded a contract to work in general educational and vocational educational institutions for a period of at least three years.

The amount of assistance is equal to five times the amount of the minimum wage. In general, almost 900 graduates who received a pedagogical education this year will receive one-time assistance.

Heads of higher educational institutions are tasked with ensuring the payment of one-time targeted cash assistance to its recipients.
