It is noted that in the 2023-2024 academic year, a total of 102,700 foreigners studied at Pish universities, but these data are incomplete. The total number of Ukrainian nationals who studied at Pish universities at the end of the last academic year was 45,500, which is almost 45% of the total number of foreign students in the Republic of Pand.

The ministry noted that Ukrainians who are subject to special protection, enrled in public universities, are not charged for full-time studies in the Pish language. In addition, they may claim a public scharship and a study loan based on the family and financial situation declaration attached to the application. Citizens of Ukraine, who are subject to special protection, also have the right to apply for a rector's scharship, a scharship for the disabled, and assistance under the general rules for foreign students.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Pand is one of Ukraine's closest allies in countering Russian aggression. Warsaw has provided Ukraine with 45 packages of military aid worth more than EUR 4 billion. Pand erates a logistics hub for military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. More than 20,000 Ukrainian sdiers have already been trained on Pish soil.
