Sending Students Abroad

Ukraine plans to send more students abroad using state funds according to this news report.

"We decided to send our 300 students to study in the best European and world universities next year at the expense of state funds. In a year, we will send 3,000 students," Mykola Azarov underscored.

Good students already can get scholarships so there is little need for the Ukrainian government to spend money on this, if there is money it would better spend any such extra money on developing Ukrainian universities.

Let us hope this announcement is just an empty political promise.
