Is it mandatory to write an application for expulsion from school if the child has moved to another city or country

Some parents say that some school principals expel children from school because they study in another city. But children want to be remotely at their home school with their teacher.

“It's illegal. The child can be expelled from school only at the request of the parents. And only. This is a requirement of current legislation. And such directors should be reminded of the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of 16.04.2018 № 367 “On approval of the Procedure for enrollment, expulsion and transfer of students to state and municipal educational institutions to obtain a complete general secondary education.” This order clearly regulates the procedure when a child can be expelled. If the parents do not write an application for deduction, the school does not have the right to expel the child. Therefore, let these directors not engage in arbitrariness, but comply with current Ukrainian legislation, “Gorbachev said.

If the child has the opportunity to study at school abroad and remotely in Ukrainian, you can also not write an application for deduction. However, the educational process needs to be coordinated.

“The problem is that both there and here classes start in the morning. And we need to allocate some time for the Ukrainian school. The solution may be to record the lessons of the Ukrainian school, the so-called asynchronous learning. The child can review them and take some tests. But this means an additional burden – both on the child and on the teacher, which is not very good. We need to look for more systematic logistics solutions, “said the educational ombudsman.
