Nation10 April 2022, 04:28 PM
The Cabinet
of Ministers of Ukraine on April 9 decided to terminate mutual
recognition of educational certificates and academic ranks with the
nation of Belarus, whose territory Russia used as a springboard for
their Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
These include university diplomas and technical and grade school certificates, reported Taras Melnychuk, the government’s representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament.
Belarus and Ukraine signed the agreement back in 1998, which created an equivalence between the two national’s academic system, meaning that Belarusian certificates and diplomas could be used for admission to universities and employment, without additional documentation.
The Cabinet of Ministers also terminated an agreement with Belarus on cooperation in the field of science and technology.
