The system of education provides good quality and is well developed. One of the most important tasks for central and local authorities is to give equal possibilities in getting top quality education for all citizens of Ukraine.



When independence was declared, education acquires a distinctly national character and became more adapted to the new damands for primary and secondary schools, while new private educational institutes and schools were established.

In the area of education and upbringing are involved 7% of Ukrainian professionals who teach 11 mln students (22% of the population).

There are 18 400 institutions for pre-school preparation. According to the Constitution secondary education takes the central part in the system and is free and quite accessible. 7 mln students attend 21900 schools. Private sector in secondary education is insignificant (незначний.) Totally, there are 200 private schools (1% of all the amount of students).

You can take vocation in 1003 technical institutions (vocational technical schools) on the base of lower secondary education and upper secondary education.

In Ukrainian system of education colleges and technical schools refer to the lower part of higher education.

Over one thousand occupational schools (професійні школи ) offer over 800 professional specializations.

Students may choose among 313 (220 state and 93 private) universities, academies, and institutes as well as 658 (589 state and 69 private) educational institutions with first or second degree of accreditation.





500 educational institutions can offer supplementary education and the improvement of qualifications. Each year about 50 000 students, graduates, teachers, and professionals go to upgrade their knowledge and professional skills abroad.

In return, studying in Ukraine becomes more attractive for foreigners and especially for young people from the Ukrainian Diaspora. During the years of independence, more than 60 international agreements have been signed dealing with development of cooperation in the field of education.

In order to stimulate the application of general European educational standards, cooperation has gained depth with the Council of Europe, UNESCO, and other international organizations that work under the TEMPUS program.


Що таке ТЕМПУС?

Темпус (Транс-європейська програма мобільності для навчання в університетах) – це програма зовнішньої допомоги Європейського Союзу, заснована з метою сприяння модернізації систем вищої освіти в країнах-сусідах ЄС через активізацію співробітництва між ВНЗ країн ЄС і країн-партнерів. Сьогодні програма Темпус відкрита для вищих навчальних закладів та інших інституцій, які працюють у сфері вищої освіти, з 27 країн-членів ЄС, 17 країн Європейської політики добросусідства (у тому числі Україна), 5 країн Центральної Азії, 5 країн Західних Балкан.

Програма Темпус, заснована в 1990 р., пройшла декілька етапів у своєму розвитку. Сьогодні реалізується четвертий етап програми, розрахований на 2007-2013 рр.

У програмах Темпус визначено три основних напрями реформування в сфері вищої освіти, які є складовою загальних стратегій ЄС і збігаються з завданнями освітньої програми ЄС «Навчання впродовж життя» (Lifelong Learning) та узгоджуються з Лісабонською стратегією і положеннями Болонського процесу:

модернізація навчальних програм;

удосконалення процесів управління та врядування в системі вищої освіти;

посилення зв’язків між освітою та суспільством (громадянським суспільством, ринком праці тощо).

Програма Темпус надає можливість країнам-партнерам обирати для себе пріоритетні напрями реформування вищої освіти та заохочує всіх зацікавлених виявляти ініціативу, шукати інноваційні підходи, створювати новітні освітні продукти і послуги.
