The percentage of graduates who failed to achieve the minimum passing score on the National Multi-Subject Test (NMT) this year is extremely low.
This was stated by Ukraine’s Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi in comments to journalists, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"The percentage of students who did not pass the NMT by reaching the minimum passing score is extremely low, fluctuating at up to 20% from year to year. This indicates that the test is accessible and can be passed. Accordingly, university admission also requires a certain threshold of basic knowledge. And that threshold is not excessively high," Lisovyi stressed.
He recalled that the National Multi-Subject Test format was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be used under martial law.
The minister also emphasized that he opposes removing mathematics from the list of mandatory NMT subjects and supports retaining the Ukrainian language and the history of Ukraine as core disciplines.
