The right of residents from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to education
Since 2014, as a result of the armed aggression of the russian federation, part of the territory of Ukraine has been occupied: the land territories of Ukraine – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including Donetsk and Luhansk. Since 2022, the number of temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine has increased due to the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by the russian federation.
Education in time of war is an important topic that requires cooperation between state authorities, public organizations, and the international community to ensure protection and educational opportunities for citizens.
The right to education is guaranteed by international law and the Constitution of Ukraine (Article 53). The state ensures equal conditions for access to education for all citizens, and no one may be restricted in their right to receive it.
Nowadays, there are thousands of students in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine whose rights to education are grossly violated by the occupation authorities. National and international efforts to ensure the independence and objectivity of education in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are essential to ensure future peace and stability in the region.
Recognition of learning outcomes from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
The so-called educational documents issued by the occupation authorities are not recognized by Ukraine and cannot serve as a basis for further education and employment. Students who have received such “educational documents” cannot continue their studies or be employed on the territory controlled by Ukraine.
Ukrainian legislation stipulates that persons who have received education in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine have the right to recognize the results of their studies (learning outcomes) in the territory controlled by the government of Ukraine – they can confirm the knowledge they have acquired, not the “educational documents” issued by the occupation authorities.
Learning outcomes are the knowledge, skills, abilities, ways of thinking, opinions, values, and other personal qualities acquired in the process of education, training, and development that can be identified, planned, evaluated, and measured and that a person is able to demonstrate after completing an educational program or studying certain educational components (Law of Ukraine "On Education").
