Prolonged validity of state examination scores permitted during military service tenure
News Article: Changes to Unified State Exam (USE) Validity Periods for Military Personnel in Ukraine
In a significant move aimed at supporting the social adaptation of servicemen, President Vladimir Putin signed a law on July 23rd that excludes periods of military service from the validity period of the Unified State Exam (USE) results. This decision is particularly relevant for participants in the special military operation.
Under the revised rules, the validity period of USE results will be suspended during military service or participation in the military operation in Ukraine. This means that demobilized servicemen can use their exam results for university admission without having to retake the exams. Previously, USE results remained valid without the possibility of extending this period.
The changes are designed to help servicemen more easily integrate into civilian life and obtain professional education. By extending the validity of their USE results, servicemen can focus on their military duties without the added pressure of having to re-take exams upon their return to civilian life.
The main USE exam period in 2025 took place from May 23rd to June 11th, and a total of 682,000 people took the exam during this period. The exact policy changes regarding USE validity periods for military personnel are not detailed in the available search data, but it is reasonable to infer that these changes are intended to facilitate access to higher education or civilian employment after service.
It is important to note that persons liable for military service in Ukraine are subject to specific rules regarding registration, documentation, and mobility during the period of military service or mobilization. This suggests that the Ukrainian government has legal and administrative frameworks affecting servicemen, but the specific policy changes regarding USE validity periods are not detailed in the given results.
To obtain precise details about changes in USE validity periods for military servicemen or participants in military operations in Ukraine and the aims related to their social integration, accessing Ukrainian government or education ministry official communications or decrees would be necessary.
