On May the 12th in Mykolayiv National Agrarian University University the meeting of the pedagogical staff with Peter Poroshenko, the deputy of Ukraine, was held.

He was introduced by the President of Mykolayiv National Agrarian University,Vyacheslav Shebanin.

On behalf of the research and teaching staff and students of the University the President of the University appealed to the deputy to consider the proposals on amendments and additions to the draft Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" (№ 1197-2), which was adopted as the basis by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on April 8, 2014.

Vyacheslav Shebanin made ​​some constructive proposals as for the content of the Law, including addition to the paragraph 7 of the Article 72 "Financing of higher education institutions" and amendments to the Article 69, "The organizational forms of the scientific and technological basis and innovation"  with the rationale explanation why those additions should be taken into consideration.
