Higher education could cost no less than USD 1,000/year - Minister Tabachnyk
Education and Science, Youth and Sports Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk says that quality education of a contract student could not cost less than UAH 8,000 -10,000 a year (1 USD - 7.99 UAH).

"We have calculated so-called indicative prices. In order to fulfill norms, when every basic course is taught by a lecturer with a scientific degree and with an academic rank, when there are six square meters for every student, when there is a library, gymnasium and everything else, what is clearly written down in the law, a payment for a year of contract studies cannot be less than UAH 8-10,000 a year depending on complexity of training," Tabachnyk has said, UKRINFORM reported.

The Minister warned parents of school leavers against a temptation to give education to a child for incredibly low prices at UAH 4,000-UAH 6,000 a year. "This testifies to the fact that something does not comply with the common sense there," Tabachnyk added.

He underscored that parents should more carefully treat information about higher educational establishments.
