Overview
The All-Ukrainian student olympiads are annual school-subject contests organised through the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. For 2026/27 the ministry's order No. 1476 of 24 August 2026 sets three stages. The Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (MANU) prepares the tasks for stages II and III, runs the contests and organises and coordinates stage III. This page follows the text of the order as republished on osvita.ua, not the ministry's own site.
Who can take it
School students. The order approves a list of subjects and grades for stages I and II and a separate list for stage III; those lists are attached to the order and were not part of the page reviewed, so check them for your subject.
