Deferrals for teachers and students

People's Deputy Roman Gryshchuk noted that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine's resolution on the procedure for granting deferrals from military service, which came into effect on January 16, raised concerns among representatives of the educational community and people's deputies, as their interpretation may contradict the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization".

In particular, he pointed out that under this resolution, deferrals are granted until the end of the academic year, but it is unclear what will happen to teachers and students during the summer months.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine reacted to this statement. They denied information regarding the mobilization of students and teachers and noted that all discrepancies in the documents would be resolved in accordance with current legislation.
