Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine Hugues Mingarelli has declared about the EU's intention to assist Ukraine in implementing educational reform.

"We would like to make sure that the Ministry of Education and Science will receive the necessary resources: financial and human ones, and we need to intensify many programs on public administration reform for this purpose," Mingarelli said during the conference titled "Vocational Education and Training of Labor Force: Support for Social and Economic and Regional Development of Ukraine" in Kyiv on Tuesday.

"The prime minister, the minister of education, you can rely upon us. You can tell us what is necessary to be done and be sure that if there is political will both on your part and on our part, we will be able to mobilize all our resources to help you in the implementation of this ambitious goal," the EU mission head said.

He said that it is difficult to talk about progress in implementing other reforms, creating new jobs without the reform of education.

Mingarelli said that he supports the inclusion of such goals as the reform of the vocational education and training system in Ukraine in the government action plan.
