After the increase in teachers’ salaries in Ukraine, the cost of studying at universities will increase
After the increase in teachers’ salaries, the cost of education in higher education institutions of Ukraine will increase. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Education Mykola Trofymenko.
He noted that such an increase is due to the need for universities to replenish their special funds.
“From January 1, 2026, the salaries of university employees were increased by 30%, and from September 1, they will be increased by another 20%. Accordingly, we should not dump – we should ensure an adequate price for higher education in our higher education institutions,” Trofymenko emphasized.
At the same time, the director of the Directorate of Higher Education and Adult Education, Oleg Sharov, stated that obtaining higher education in Ukraine remains one of the cheapest in Europe.
“We cannot afford a completely penny education, otherwise our scientific and pedagogical workers will simply go abroad, and there will be no one to teach our students,” explained the director of the Directorate of Higher Education and Adult Education.
