The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has introduced a new platform for registration in the Ukrainian studies component program. This program is designed for children temporarily living abroad and studying in Ukrainian schools remotely. It helps avoid excessive burden and maintains a connection with Ukraine through education.

Parents can choose a school that offers the Ukrainian studies component and submit an application for their child's enrollment in this program.

How to apply as parents:

• Visit the platform at ukrainian.studies.mon.gov.ua
• Log in via id.gov.ua
• Create your child's profile, select a school and class
• Submit an application for your child
• Wait for a response from the school within 5 business days

“Today, over 360,000 children are studying abroad and continuing their education in Ukrainian schools remotely. Our goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of their location, has access to quality Ukrainian education. The Ukrainian studies component allows maintaining a connection with Ukraine without the additional academic burden. The platform for the Ukrainian studies component is a simple and convenient tool that automates the registration process and makes it clear for parents in different countries,” said Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine, Nadia Kuzmychova.

What is the Ukrainian studies component?

It is a shortened educational program for Ukrainian schoolchildren temporarily living abroad.

It allows:

• to reduce academic workload;
• to continue receiving Ukrainian education remotely;
• to attend local school simultaneously.

What subjects are studied within the program?

• Ukrainian language
• Ukrainian literature
• History of Ukraine
• Geography of Ukraine
• Basics of law
• Defense of Ukraine

The other subjects that the child studies at the local school abroad will be credited towards the Ukrainian educational program.

For this, the Ministry of Education and Science has developed a grading scale for a specific list of countries where Ukrainian students reside.

This decision will help children remain part of the Ukrainian education system — without overload and without losing connection with Ukraine.
