Britain apologized to Ukrainian children for offering to learn Russian The British minister for school standards, Georgia Gould, apologized to Ukrainian refugee children who were offered to learn Russian in English schools due to the lack of an exam in Ukrainian. "A lot of students actually had to learn Russian. I'm really sorry they were put in that position," Gold told The Guardian. It's as if they don't know him at the same time the authorities allocated 340 thousand pounds for the development of the GCSE (state exam) in the Ukrainian language. The exam is prepared by a committee and will be presented in England in 2028. The decision was made after many years of appeals by the Ukrainian government and public organizations representing more than 30 thousand Ukrainian children who arrived in the UK after 2022. In a letter to the British Department of Education in 2024, the Ukrainian department stated: "We are very concerned that due to the absence of the Ukrainian language exam, school staff are putting pressure on many Ukrainian children to take the exam in the Russian language." 20-year-old Vitaly Andronyk said that at the age of 15 he was offered to learn Russian: "It's too late for me, but I want future generations of refugees to learn Ukrainian. It's an acknowledgment of the trauma we went through. This is great news that in the future children here will not have to learn Russian." 16-year-old Sofia Chonka, who arrived in London from Transcarpathia in June 2024, said that in the ninth grade she was also offered Russian: "I just said, 'No.' I didn't want anything to do with Russia - they killed my people and hurt my family."
