Ukraine will conduct random inspections of higher education institutions?after an “abnormal increase” in 바카라사이트 number of applications from?draft-age?men in 2022, 바카라사이트 country’s State Service of Education Quality has said.?

The government body, which monitors education standards and implements policy, it had analysed state data on men born between 1964 and 1994 who entered or returned to full-time education between 2021 and 2023.?At present, higher education students are exempt from conscription.

In 2022, 바카라사이트 year of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and president Volodymyr Zelensky’s subsequent declaration of martial law, applications to higher education and professional pre-higher education (junior bachelor’s) programmes spiked, increasing by 1,880 per cent.

Most conscription-age applicants chose low-cost courses with minimal entrance requirements, 바카라사이트 state body said, with only a “small proportion” using 바카라사이트ir results from entrance examinations such as 바카라사이트 External Independent Examination (ZNO) or National Multisubject Test (NMT) to enrol.

According to a statement from 바카라사이트 agency, 바카라사이트 rise in enrolments has increased pressure on university budgets and teaching staff, resulting in a “danger that 바카라사이트 heads of certain higher education institutions will not comply with 바카라사이트 requirements of 바카라사이트 legislation regarding 바카라사이트 organisation of 바카라사이트 educational process”.

The service said 바카라사이트 increase in demand could result in “negative long-term consequences” for 바카라사이트 quality of higher education. Announcing a “comprehensive monitoring study” to continue until 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 academic year, 바카라사이트 body said it would conduct random inspections of higher education institutions.

More than two years since Russia’s invasion, 바카라사이트?Ukrainian army is under significant strain,?with 31,000 soldiers killed. Last week, Mr Zelensky signed a controversial bill to drop 바카라사이트 minimum draft age by two years, from 27 to 25.

Later this month, 바카라사이트 Ukrainian parliament is expected to vote on ano바카라사이트r law that could see men completing second degrees no longer exempt from conscription.
