"Having established this contest in the year 1997, the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine did a good deed, attracting pupils to the socially important, public activity," V.Lytvyn stated. "Such contests form the personality of young people, and serve as another opportunity to learn, especially in the information sphere," he declared, "We need a high-quality journalism to make people think and make conclusions."

 

The Head of the Parliament stressed, "A high-quality education is the top task of Ukraine. Next generations will be successful, if they are well-educated." He regretted about the low standards of higher education, and the unregulated situation in the fee-based education sector.
