This also applies to students of full-time and dual forms: students of professional, professional pre-higher and higher education who are studying at a higher level than the previous one.
Doctoral students and interns, scientists and teachers with a scientific degree and employment at 0.75 of the rate at the main place of work are exempt from the prize.
Teachers with employment at 0.75 of the rate at the main place of work will also not be mobilized.
Other conscripts who do not fall under the above categories may be mobilized in accordance with current legislation.
