The wonderful news for all Russian and Azerbaijani students immediately went viral on the Internet: starting in 2013, they will have the opportunity to use electronic student tickets. The initiators of the introduction of new generation student tickets were the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan.

The joyous euphoria of Azerbaijani and Russian students from waiting for the earliest start of using this unique multifunctional document is quite understandable for students from Ukraine. After all, our students have been using the electronic student card, which has combined the functions of a student identity card, a bank card and a social security card, for six years with pleasure. (For example, Polish students have been using an electronic student ticket since 2007, and Belarusian students — since 2009).

Just then, in September 2006, for the first time in Eastern Europe and the CIS countries, 50,000 students from several Ukrainian universities became participants in the project that started a new era of scientific and technical revolution in the national education system. 6 years ago, they were the first lucky ones to receive student tickets with an unusual chip and truly unlimited possibilities of use.

Since that time, almost 150,000 students from 60 higher educational institutions of the country were able to fully appreciate the advantages of the new document format — because it combined the functions of a student ID card, a bank card, depending on the payment system chosen by the student — NSMEP or VISA, as well as became a tool for accounting for social benefits — railway travel. In addition, electronic student ticket can already act as a flyer, which allows you to visit museums, exhibitions and concerts

The unique document was created by specialists of the Research Institute of Applied Information Technologies. This high-tech development of a domestic manufacturer, contributing to the creation of a single information space in the field of education, is of great importance for the socio-economic development of Ukraine. «electronic student ticket» received several gold and silver medals at leading industry exhibitions.

Electronic student card became not just a «three in one» document — it allowed its owners to fully experience the convenience and comfort of use , and the state — to get an effective modern tool for accounting of the benefits provided to students, including on transport.

The electronic student record significantly facilitates the life of university students. The user of the ticket receives a stipend immediately for the «miracle ticket», they do not have to stand in a long line at the university cash desk or drive across the city to collect money. Now you don’t need to go anywhere — easily withdraw money from ATMs and pay with an electronic student card at regular and online stores, ticket offices. The scope depends on the payment system chosen by the student.

All the necessary information about the student is in the microprocessor embedded in the ticket. This chip is a real «highlight» of electronic student. It is individual, and if the ticket is lost or stolen, no one else will be able to use this ticket. At the same time, since the ticket holder is granted all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the state, these tickets can be obtained only by students of higher educational institutions accredited by the state.

Electronic student card — the most important element of the information and analytical system of accounting and reimbursement of benefits in the relations of the Ministry of Education, Science, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Infrastructure. With the help of this full-fledged social card, each discounted travel is not only guaranteed to the student, but also provided with accounting, which allows the state to know the exact amount of funds needed to compensate for the provided benefits.

Banks: Privatbank, Brokbiznesbank, VAB, Express ", «Imex», bank «Stolichny» and a number of others. Such cooperation is mutually beneficial — banks receive a significant clientele, and students, having joined the unified information space with the help of electronic student ticket prospects will be able to receive soft loans and loans, bank interest on a scholarship, enter into agreements with any bank.

In the 6 years since the first electronic student records appeared, this document has become truly irreplaceable. According to the students themselves, this ticket, in the conditions of the frantic rhythms of student life and the constant pressure of time, has become a real find, a tool that allows you to organize student life.
