Verkhovna Rada should approve a bill №3312 that cancels the obligatory work off for the graduates of medical universities after their graduating from the university. On January 26, the MP and the member of the inter-faction union UKROP Taras Batenko told it to the journalists in the Parliament. According to him, on Tuesday the Verkhovna Rada failed the consideration of the respective bill in the first reading, having returned it to the committee for revision and reconsideration in the first reading.
The document proposes to establish that government agencies, which have higher educational institutions under their supervision, should facilitate the employment of the graduates of higher military educational institutions for further service.
“Several times in my constituency in Lviv region, I saw cases where a student who had graduated from the university, was sent to the work off for three years to Donetsk region. When the war began in Donbas, the student was moved to Mariupol. And there were no vacant working places. And a person without any means wanted to move back to Lviv, but the Ministry refused him, because the law requires three years of work off. Sometimes the student even gets threats from the ministry claiming that he should return the money to the state for all years of education,” said Taras Batenko. In his opinion, this is feudalism for our young staff, ready to replace the people who have worked in the field of medicine for years and decades.
