The draft law provides for:

  • establishment of the special status of the English language in Ukraine as a language of international communication;
  • significant expansion of the scope of the English language in Ukraine;
  • the English language will be mandatory in certain public spheres of social life where international communications are available.

“Expanding the scope of the application of the English language in Ukraine will contribute to the activation of the processes of integration of Ukrainians into the European community. Every Ukrainian who learns English will be much more aware of European life,” said First Deputy Minister of Culture Rostyslav Karandieiev.

He also added that this would help the formation of Ukraine’s subjectivity in the world globalization processes. In addition, after our victory, will influence the growth of Ukraine’s investment and tourist attractiveness.

According to him, Ukraine currently ranks only 40th out of 112 countries in the world in terms of English proficiency.
