In Mykolaiv region, 64% of students are currently studying full-time or in a mixed format.

The head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, Vitalii Kim, expects to increase this figure to 80%, he said during a press conference on 30 December, NikVesti.

However, Vitalii Kim added, this decision will depend solely on the parents of the students.

«64% of our students are now studying full-time and mixed. This is almost twice as many as in 2023. Therefore, this result is satisfactory and the task is to bring it up to 80%. But it all depends on the children and their parents. They decide whether their children should study full-time or blended learning. Therefore, our task is to create the conditions for this to work,» said Vitalii Kim.

«This is 66% of those who left. This is an important indicator. It means that people want, believe and return to continue living and studying in Ukraine,» added the head of the RMA.
