This Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 988 of August 15, 2025, concerns the reallocation of budget funds in the field of higher education for 2025. The government decided to redirect funds from the educational subvention to local budgets for financing personnel training in higher education institutions, particularly those located in the Mykolaiv region. This was done to adjust the funding volumes for the payment of services for training specialists under the state order.
Structurally, the resolution consists of three points. The first point provides for the reallocation of funds between budget programs, namely, reducing development expenditures under the educational subvention program and increasing consumption expenditures for personnel training in higher education institutions. The second point obliges the Ministry of Finance to amend the state budget schedule. The third point obliges the Ministry of Education and Science to ensure the distribution of these funds among higher education institutions of the Mykolaiv region in proportion to the funding volumes that were distributed to these institutions in 2025 based on the formula for allocating expenditures for higher education.
The most important provision of this resolution is the reallocation of funds in favor of higher education institutions of the Mykolaiv region, as this may affect the volume and quality of training of specialists in this region.
