From January 1, 2021, the tests for admission to public universities will be developed based on state educational standards and curricula, the presidential decree says.

According to the document, the content of the test materials will be brought in conformity with the syllabus of the subjects taught in general schools, i.e. only topics covered in school programs will be used when creating test questions.
