This was announced by the head of the ministry, Serhii Shkarlet, during a briefing at the Ukraine-Odesa Media Center

Among this enquiries there were 1,472 students aged 16 to 60 who appealed to the ministry to help them leave. “These were “students” of universities that were established in Poland and the Czech Republic 3 days prior to enquiry to leave Ukraine and were located in ordinary apartments.
