You're reading: Ukraine students protest education reform

About 100 Ukrainian students have protested an unpopular education reform and called for the resignation of the nation's education minister.

The students rallied Monday on Kiev’s central square and marched toward the government headquarters, chanting "Glory to Ukraine! and "Revolution!"

They protested a government-sponsored bill currently being debated by parliament, which will limit students’ self-governance and make education more expensive.

They are also protesting plans to decrease the amount of time students spend learning the Ukrainian language and history and allow some schools to teach in Russian.

Education Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk, one of the most unpopular Cabinet members, has come under fire for policies seen as pro-Russian.
