Ukraine is relatively known for its top-quality education. The country ranks fourth in the world in the number of people with a higher education, and the literacy rate is 100 percent among its youngest generations.

To buttress this, there is a general worldwide acceptance of Ukrainian methods of teaching ranging from the use of English language as the medium for teaching and emphasis on practical aspects of teaching making it highly preferred for study.
