If presidential elections in Ukraine were held in the middle of June 2018, Batkivschyna Party leader Yulia Tymoshenko would receive the most votes, followed by Civil Position Party leader Anatoliy Hrytsenko and Opposition Bloc leader Yuriy Boiko, according to the results of a poll conducted by the Rating Sociological Group.
Some 16% of respondents said they would vote for Tymoshenko, 11.7% for Hrytsenko and 10.5% for Boiko, according to poll results, according to which showman Volodymyr Zelensky would receive 9.3%, with Radical Party leader Oleh Liashko, musician Sviatoslav Vakarchuk and acting Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko receiving 8.6%.
Some 52% of those polled said they would not vote for Poroshenko under any circumstances, with 30% saying the same of ex-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Liashko’s anti-rating was 23.8%, followed by Boiko with 23% and Tymoshenko with 20.8%.
Some 66% of those polled said they thought the presidential elections would not be free and fair, with only 12% believing the opposite. Some 22% had difficulty answering the question. Almost 64% favored punishing candidates who will give “material assistance” to people in exchange for votes, while 23% are not against receiving “material assistance.”
The survey was carried by means of face-to-face interviews from June 14 to June 24, 2018. Some 2,500 Ukrainian citizens over the age of 18 comprising a representative sample by sex, region and type of residence took part in the survey, which has a margin of error of no more than 2%.

Since its opening, the school has been working on creating a program that would integrate children into the global education system and prepare to be citizens of the world – people with a global mindset. For this purpose, it’s important to get education that meets the world’s standards, but to keep identity, not to forget about your Ukrainian heart.
The school is currently undergoing the final stage of licensing by the Ministry of Education and Training of Manitoba (Canada), and thus beginning to form a group of pupils for the integrated program.
We are launching enrollment for 8th and 9th form pupils for the Blended Program (the Ukrainian-Canadian integrated education program) for the 2018/2019 academic year, who do not study at Novopecherska School and pass the Ukrainian program without attending classes (that is, we offer only the Canadian program component).
At present, the certificate of any Ukrainian school provides access to foreign higher education institutions, but to confirm the knowledge of the subjects it is needed to learn the Canadian program and take additional licensed exams. The grade points of the certificate obtained at the end of the program, licensed by the Manitoba Ministry of Education and Training (which also concerns the Ukrainian-Canadian integrated program of Novopecherska School), are credited by foreign higher education institutions without another confirmation.
The main advantage of the integrated program certificate is that children, having mastered the Ukrainian component of the program, will form a civic identity and, having received education in any institution of the world, will develop the Ukrainian society.
Currently offered: 5 places for the 8th form (the 2018/2019 school year), 8 places for the 9th form (the 2018/2019 academic year). Tuition fee: $7,000 a year
