Ukrainian Education and Science, Youth and Sports Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk has said the level of use of the electronic university entrance system by entrants this year was successful.
"Despite some complaints, and sometimes unfair criticism regarding this experiment, its first stage was successful. More than 10% of entrants used the electronic enrolling service," the press service cited the minister as saying.
Tabachnyk added that in general some 150,000 electronic applications were received. The most active were entrants from Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Khmelnytsky regions and Kyiv City.
According to the ministry, some 65,000 online applications were submitted by the entrants to higher education establishments in other cities, which allowed them to save money and reduce queues at entrance commissions.
