For the second year in a row, Ukrainian high-school graduates have to take their final exams abroad due to the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine.

Thanks to our dear friends at the Swedish Ministry of Education and Research and Stockholm University, 252 Ukrainian high-school graduates had the opportunity to take their final exams on June 15 and 16.  

Our sincere gratitude goes to the Minister for Education H.E. Mr. Mats Persson, the Minister for Schools H.E. Ms. Lotta Edholm, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Research Ms. Maria Nilsson for their kind assistance in organizing the exams. 

We highly appreciate the generous hospitality and support of Stockholm University, its President Professor Astrid Söderbergh Widding, all the University staff, and especially the Gruppchef Service Mr. Brian Baskin.

We are also thankful to Kaffe För Ukrainare for organizing fika for the children and their parents.
