The spouses of Russian soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine will be able to enter university without exams. A bill to this effect was approved by the State Duma in the first reading on January 13. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Budget places in higher education institutions (bachelor’s and specialization) will be offered to the widows and widowers of participants in the “special military operation” within a separate quota. In addition, the law provides for free training in preparatory courses organized by federal state universities.<\/p>\n

The authors of the project are a group of senators and deputies from the “United Russia” party. The explanatory note mentions that “the spouses of deceased soldiers are in a vulnerable social situation, as the loss of the family breadwinner” forces them to look for work, “especially if they are not already employed”.<\/p>\n

“In this context, it is necessary to offer them the opportunity to obtain a qualification, a requalification or, in some cases, to learn a profession from scratch, in order to be able to lead a decent life with their children,” the initiators emphasize. Universities will be obliged to accept these people on budget places regardless of whether they have a previous higher education diploma or not. If they are employed, they will be able to benefit from paid leave during the exams and the defense of the graduation thesis.<\/p>\n
