У разі введення дводенного НМТ Центр якості освіти очікує, що за кордоном буде менше учасників

Director of the UCEQA Tetiana Vakulenko said this in a comment to Ukrinform.

According to her, if Ukraine introduces a two-day testing model with the ability to re-take the test, this will increase the number of assessment sessions. This will mean that educational institutions that provide Ukrainians abroad with the opportunity to draw up NMT will have to work in two shifts.

According to Vakulenko, in recent years, UCEQA has managed not to reduce the number of places for testing entrants.

There are countries in which we exceeded the need, for example, Germany, Poland. But, for example, in Romania, the number of seats was less than the number of participants, "she said.

As reported, during the 2026 admission campaign, a national multi-subject test was organized in more than 50 cities in 31 countries.

Context

According to the UCEQA, in 2025, 20,497 participants registered abroad for the NMT, in 2026 - 18,544 entrants, actually chose to take the test during 17,726 sessions.

What's next

If we consider the current model, we would expect that the number of seats should be the same. But if the testing model changes, for example, we move to a two-day assessment model or there will be an opportunity to reassess the assessment, then it is obvious that we will not get such a wide network. After all, this directly affects the way those partner institutions that provide us with premises function.

"One test for four hours with a break is not the same as two tests for two hours, because participants need to be allowed to pass the assessment, check all documents, start logistics administrative procedures and instruct participants. Then they work, have to complete the work, leave the room, and only then the following participants can enter. That is, this is not the sum of these tests, but a significant extension of the duration of work of educational institutions.
