In connection with the numerous requests of students, parents and representatives of public organizations on the organization of the educational process in institutions of higher education for the winter-spring period of the 2018/2019 school year, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine prepared several orders. In particular, the letter of the Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Yurii Rashkevych states that, according to the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education”, higher educational institutions use various forms of organization of the educational process during the year and can determine their own sequence for their own academic autonomy. At the same time, the number of classroom hours planned for the academic year remains constant and under any conditions, including climatic conditions, must be fulfilled.
