Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze hopes President Petro Poroshenko signs the law on education.
“For us it is extremely important to receive an expert appraisal from namely those organizations with a mandate to examine the bill, for example, the Council of Europe,” she told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency on the sidelines of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) in Kyiv on Friday.
Klympush-Tsintsadze said the bill was adopted according to European principles of education of national minorities. She said negative appraisals of the bill by partner countries (Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland) was emotional.
“I hope the president signs this law. An analysis of the bill will be a parallel process. We can not stop education reform that we have waited so long for,” Klympush-Tsintsadze said.
