In a number of regions of Ukraine, school holidays have been extended. This was reported to "proUA" by the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science. \n \nDecisions to extend school holidays were made by local authorities, whose competence includes the management of general education institutions. \n \nIn particular, winter holidays will be longer for students of some schools in Vinnytsia, Volyn, Zhytomyr, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Rivne, Ternopil, Kherson, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Poltava and Donetsk regions. \n \nAs noted in the press service of the Ministry of Education, this is related to the traditions of celebrating New Year and Christmas holidays in some regions of Ukraine. \n \nAt the same time, the ministry emphasizes that no educational institution has the right to shorten curricula, and the lost material will still have to be made up.
