The Ministry of Education and Science canceled the All-Ukrainian Student Olympiads in all academic subjects due to the increase in the incidence of the coronavirus.

The relevant order of the department is registered with the Ministry of Justice.

In addition, tournaments, Olympiads in special disciplines and competitions of professional skills will not be held this year either.

At the same time, All-Ukrainian student competitions in academic disciplines and defense competitions of scientific and research works can be held remotely.

The Ministry of Education notes that in order to pass all stages of the Olympiads and tournaments, children and teachers need to move around the city and regions, communicate with other people, which increases the risk of infection and the spread of the coronavirus disease.

"Taking into account the advice of educators and the recommendations of the Ministry of Health regarding the maximum limitation of contacts between people, a decision was made not to hold student Olympiads during the quarantine," the Ministry of Education reported.

The Department of Education asks you to take this decision with understanding.
