About this in his material for ZN.UA“What will change in higher education thanks to online education?”writes a researcher of the Analytical Center Evgeny Nikolaev “OsvitAnalytika” of Kyiv University named after Borys Grinchenko.

“Along with correspondence education, thanks to online technologies, the activity of small university branches in different parts of Ukraine is losing its meaning, the main idea of ​​which was to bring the place of higher education closer to the place of residence of the student, and the problem is doubts about the quality of education,” says the expert.
