Last bell for 9 and 11 graders to be held 23 May

Ceremonial events “Last bell” for 9 and 11 grade students will be held 23 May. Education Ministry recommends to host the events in institutions of learning following the existing school traditions. It is possible to organize the event for 11 graders at a district, city or oblast levels on approval from principal, parental community and a teacher.

In 2026 the format was adjusted: national event “Last Bell” will not be held to decrease pressure on kinds during CE and CT exams. Safety is a top priority: duration time of the ceremony must not exceed 45 minutes counting weather conditions. Schools were recommended to conduct awareness-raising activities with parents about safe behavior of kids during a night time.

Education Ministry wishes graduates to achieve best examination results as well as good and safe year’s end.
