The academic year will commence from September 1 and will be held as usual. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal emphasized during a regular Government meeting on August 26.

"At present, the country is the "green" zone, the situation remains under control. This allows educational institutions to start working as usual. The educational process should be carried out in accordance with simple anti-epidemic rules. Schools are prepared and have everything necessary," the Head of Government stressed.

At the same time, the Prime Minister underlined that an important condition for work that guarantees the safety of teachers and students is the vaccination of educators. Denys Shmyhal urged Ukrainian teachers not to neglect their own safety and get vaccinated.
