Over the entire
history of independence Ukraine has never come close to adopting far-reaching
systemic decisions that will enable change within the country and make those
transformations irreversible, said Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman
on air of one of TV channels on the eve of the launch of plenary sessions of
the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
"We need to solve a number of problems in the state. People do not have to wait for solutions. We came close to the reform of education, the new pension system and the health care system", the Head of Government said. “We are also talking about laws for business... We need to create, but not to destroy. And the 50 bills (developed by the Government) will make the changes invariable. "
Referring to the
reform of education, the Head of Government stressed that it contains new
principles in education - from kindergarten to high school. At the same time, particular
attention is paid to maintaining prestige of teacher's work through increasing
salaries. "The real salary of a teacher has improved. The next year it is
planned another raise in salaries. We are also talking about the modernization
of schools and budgeted the sum worth 1 billion to
re-equip classes for first – fourth forms", explained Volodymyr Groysman.
The exact same
thing, according to him, is that justice constitutes the basis of the pension
reform, the adoption of which envisages raising pensions for 9 million
pensioners already in October.
“And what will
happen if they do not vote? If they do not support, for example, the health
care reform we will have what we’ve got”, said the Head of Government. “Let's
unite. I assume responsibility. We make a decision... A lack of decisions and
responsibility is a crime... It’s enough to scold one another. We’ve had enough
arguments in 25 years, so what we’ve got? ... We have taken steps in a number
of spheres. It is critical that we believe in the success of Ukraine. Changes
should be triggered now, and not be put on a waiting list."
