Recognition of learning outcomes obtained in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine regardless of the date of commencement of studies

In April 2022, the general wording of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine was defined at the legislative level. The territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, certain territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and other territories recognized as temporarily occupied under martial law since 2022 are defined as the territory of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the russian federation.

In November 2023, the Law "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on the Recognition of Learning Outcomes of Persons Residing in the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine" was adopted, which allows persons to undergo the procedure for recognizing learning outcomes obtained in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, regardless of the date of commencement of education.

Recognition of learning outcomes at the levels of professional pre-higher and higher education is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. It is carried out on the basis of an assessment of the learning outcomes indicated by the person in the education declaration. Such results are recognized by authorized institutions, the list of which is established by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

One can undergo the procedure for recognizing learning outcomes at a certain level (degree) of education only under one educational program. Learning outcomes at the higher education level can be recognized in the amount of no more than 75% of the total volume of the educational program.

The following learning outcomes cannot be recognized:

• in the specialties from the list approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine;
• at the second (Master’s) (except for Master’s educational training programs in medical, pharmaceutical and veterinary specialties) and the third (educational and scientific/educational and creative) levels of higher education.

Based on the results of the procedure for recognizing learning outcomes at the level of professional pre-higher and higher education, the following decision may be made:

• providing recommendations for admission to studies, including those with a shorter period of study, under an individual educational program that includes studying the Ukrainian Language, the History of Ukraine, and completing a special course on the consequences of russian aggression and countering russian propaganda;
• providing recommendations for undergoing qualification attestation or awarding a degree of professional pre-higher education, as well as relevant professional qualification.
