"The timing of the unified state exam in 2020 will be adjusted and rescheduled from June 8 to a later period," the report said.
According to Deputy Minister of Education Viktor Basyuk, the decision is due to the recommendations of the health authorities, based on the epidemiological situation in the country and the necessary requirements to protect the health of children and teachers.
