A person writes a statement in the name of the minister, in accordance with paragraph 52 of the procedure for awarding scientific degrees, notarizes it, submits it to the MES, which within Within 10 days, he issues an order to revoke the academic degree,” says Vitrenko. It is noted that the changes were made in order to bring them into line with the law “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Regulation of Certain Issues of Awarding Scientific Degrees and Licensing of Educational Activities”. We will remind, after scientists found new episodes of plagiarism in the dissertation of the Minister of Education, Lisovyi said that he has “zero tolerance” for plagiarism and if this fact is confirmed, he will give up his scientific degree.
