This academic year, the state final certification will be easier, because the requirements for its passing will be relaxed - the Minister of Education notes.

This is primarily due to the situation that has existed in Ukraine in recent months. This time was very difficult and nervous for schoolchildren.

"In secondary education, the most important thing is how to finish this school year. The state final certification will be softened for our children, because it was a very difficult and nervous year. We will watch how the political situation will develop," Serhiy Kvit said at a press conference on Tuesday in Kyiv.

The Minister of Education will focus on external independent evaluation, as funding is necessary for its implementation. As Serhiy Kvit notes, the financial component of conducting the final examination will be considered on March 5 in the Cabinet of Ministers.
