You're reading: Yanukovych dissatisfied with work of Tabachnyk

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has ordered his adviser Hanna Herman and Education Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk to organize a meeting of teachers this autumn.

In response to Herman’s statement made at a meeting of the public humanitarian council in Kyiv on Thursday that it was impossible to hold such a meeting despite a presidential order, Yanukovych said: "The issue of the meeting is on your consciousness, Hanna Mykolayivna [Herman], and on the consciousness of Dmytro Tabachnyk. If you had come to me once and said that Tabachnyk did not want to do this, then he would have done this immediately."

According to the president, the agenda of the upcoming meeting will be considered at a meeting of the public humanitarian council.

"I believe that we must consider this agenda at a meeting of the humanitarian council as to what will be discussed at the meeting and whether this will be done just to observe formalities or for business," he said.

Tabachnyk, in turn, said that this meeting was scheduled for next May. The president, in turn, asked: "What kind of assistance do you need? Let me help you quickly so that the meeting is held this autumn."

In addition, when asked by a member of the humanitarian council, actress Olha Sumska, why the school located at the corner of Artema and Nekrasova Streets in Kyiv was closed, the president answered: "The destiny of the school, as well as the destiny of the minister, is unknown."
