In Ukraine, the awarding of medals to school graduates has been canceled

In Ukraine canceled awarding school graduates with gold and silver medals for academic success. From now on, the state will not provide educational institutions with such awards, but schools can introduce alternative forms of student encouragement.
The Ministry of Education and Science, by its order, cancels the Regulation on gold and silver medals, which determined the procedure for awarding schoolchildren who, during their studies in high school, had high results in most subjects.
The order also provides for the termination of centralized procurement of medals at state expense. From now on, students with high academic achievements will be issued a certificate of education with the note “with honors”.
We will remind you that in September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Education, Science and Innovation found it inappropriate to use budget funds for the production of gold and silver medals.
