Ukraine’s national higher education system
In Ukraine, as in other developed countries, higher education is considered to be one of the main human values. Ukraine has inherited from the past a well-developed and multifunctional system of higher education. It has century-old history, national traditions and high prestige in the world.
The creation of Slavonic alphabet by the monks Kirilo and Mefody in the 9-th century fostered the spread of literacy and education. The first Ukrainian universities arose from brotherhood schools and monastery schools. Among them are Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (1632), Lviv University (1795), Kharkiv University (1804), Taras Shevchenko National University (1834), Odessa University (1868).
The development of economy and printing gave way to two forms of higher education: technical and agricultural education for working people and academic university courses for the wealthy layer of population.
In January – April 1919 The Government of Ukraine issued decrees on education which proclaimed the separation of Church from the State, did away with the payment for tuition in all higher education institutions, transferred private higher schools to the state ones and introduced co-education.
Over the last 5-6 years the system of higher education in Ukraine is undergoing tangible changes.
Today the structure of the higher education of Ukraine doesn’t differ much from that of the developed countries which was determined by UNESCO, UN and other international organizations.
Training of specialists may be carried out with the interruption of work (daytime education), without interruption of work (evening, correspondence education), by the combination of these two forms and for certain professions-without attending classes.
Admission of citizens to higher educational institutions is made on the competitive basis according to skills and regardless of the form of ownership and sources of payment for education.
