"During the 2014 external evaluation the religious beliefs of applicants will be taken into account." - said the director of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment Mrs. Irina Zaytseva at a press conference.
"Every year some people refuse to pass tests on Saturday due to their religion. This year we will have one of the subject tests on Saturday. If a man or woman refuse to be tested on Saturday they must apply with a separate application form in which they must clear up their refusal as to testing on Saturday. Then the applicants can be registered for an additional session" – Mrs. Zaytseva said.
She also noticed that the Center for Educational Quality Assessment received complaints of those who refused to give their personal information but would like to be tested.
"Unfortunately, we can not register them for without the personal data no person can be registered for testing." - Mrs. Zaytseva said.
