Displaced higher education institutions have their own difficulties, but it is not just 18 educational institutions and scientific institutions - it is the fate of about 50 thousand citizens and their families. This was noted by the Minister of Education, Liliya Hrynevych, during a speech at a meeting of the rectors' council of higher educational institutions temporarily relocated from the ATO zone.

According to the minister, Ukraine should realize that displaced universities are not only problems that these institutions have, but also opportunities to increase the range of specialties taught in different regions of Ukraine.

"For example, there were no medical higher education institutions in Kropyvnytskyi before one of the medical universities moved there. Now the region has its own medical university," Hrynevych emphasized.

She also expressed her belief that these institutions and the people in them, after the return of the occupied territories, will play a very important role in the reintegration of these parts of Ukraine.
