A representative of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language, Elizaveta Sachura, has completed the study of case materials regarding the activities of the so-called "underground school" on the grounds of the Intercession Holosiiv Monastery. She reported this on her Facebook page. During state control activities, the agency established the impossibility of identifying violations of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language."
"The charters of the educational institutions mentioned in the journalistic investigation stipulated that the language of their educational process is the state language, as required by law. The directors of the educational institutions have state certificates on the level of state language proficiency provided by the legislator, issued by the National Commission on State Language Standards," Sachura wrote.
She emphasized that none of the parents provided a single complaint about violation of the right to conduct the educational process in a non-state language regarding their child.
"That is, no evidence or grounds were found that would allow establishing violations and holding potential violators accountable within the framework of language legislation," stated the representative of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the lyceum that helped the Orthodox school in Holosiiv faces license revocation.
