UCCO Requests Assistance from Ukrainian Educators Abroad for National Multidisciplinary Test

The Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment (UCCO) has taken an important step by reaching out to Ukrainian educators currently located outside the country, requesting their help in administering the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT). This test, which has become a vital milestone for graduates aspiring to enter Ukrainian universities, has long transcended the borders of Ukraine, and its administration now requires support from educators in various countries.

In its announcement, UCCO stated that in 2026, temporary examination centers are planned to be established in 54 cities across 32 countries around the world. This initiative will allow every graduate, regardless of their location, the opportunity to take the test and gain admission to Ukrainian universities. The center expressed gratitude to local partners who are already assisting in conducting the NMT in several cities, but also emphasized the need for additional support from Ukrainian educators willing to join the team during the period from June to July.

Specifically, UCCO is looking for educators in the following countries and cities: Belgium (Brussels), Italy (Milan), Moldova (Chișinău), the Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague), Germany (Berlin, Jena, Cologne, Munich, Düsseldorf), Poland (Bydgoszcz, Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Dąbrowa Górnicza, Katowice, Kraków, Lublin, Poznań), Romania (Bucharest), Hungary (Budapest), and the Czech Republic (Brno). This indicates the extensive geography of the initiative and the importance of involving educators from various corners of the world.

UCCO also clarified that educators who are willing to help are expected to perform their duties promptly and diligently, as well as maintain a positive attitude. In return, the center promises to provide training and remuneration for those who are citizens of Ukraine and possess a pedagogical education. This creates an opportunity not only for participation in an important educational initiative but also for receiving compensation for the work performed.

All interested educators are encouraged to fill out a special form at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFVuSPSik_Lp5KBYsB6EcQJxwYvV_lMhd-YUMnIXd-4ziHag/viewform. This will enable the organizers to gather information about potential participants and adequately prepare for the administration of the test.

It is important to note that the main session of the NMT-2026 is scheduled to take place from May 20 to June 25, with an additional session occurring from July 17 to July 24. Registration for participation in the testing was open from March 5 to April 2, with the next registration period set for May 11 to May 16. This represents a crucial phase for graduates, allowing them to continue their education in Ukraine despite the challenges posed by war and emigration.
