Transcarpathian Academy of Arts and its structural unit – Adalbert Erdelyi College of Arts – once again are at risk of losing co-financing from the state budget. The draft budget for the next year provides for the transfer of the College as a higher education institution of the I-II level of accreditation without the status of a separate legal entity to financing from the regional budget.
This move, according to People’s Deputy of Ukraine Robert Horvat, and further separation of the Transcarpathian Academy and the College of Arts will likely provoke the destruction of the material resources and damage to the educational process, loss of an integral complex of training of new generations of Transcarpathian artists. The shared sculptural, ceramic, woodworking and metalworking workshops will be under threat. And, as a result, the whole cycle of training of young Transcarpathian artists.
"That’s why, together with Valeriy Lunchenko and Vasyl Petyovka, we appealed to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman with a request to ensure the co-financing of the Transcarpathian Academy of Arts and its structural unit – Adalbert Erdelyi College of Arts. Especially since the Budget Conclusions of the Verkhovna Rada for 2019 instruct the Cabinet to identify sources and develop mechanisms for financing such institutions from the state budget," – Robert Horvat wrote on his Facebook page.
