I decided to write about education system in Ukraine because I think it is very common problem and because I’m a student as well. Educational system in Ukraine at the present stage is sufficiently complex and hard-to-reach for citizens. Despite the fact that officially education is considered to be free of charges on all levels for children, in reality parents confront series of problems that are not so easy to deal with, unless they have certain savings of money. So for example, parents are obliged to reserve places in kindergartens even before the children are born. Because if you do not do this by the time your child is three years old there will be no more vacant place left. And of course we must not forget that all institutions of preschool educations under one reason or another demand financial contribution for various needs.
The same range of problems is applied to school education with distinction that parents are forced to purchase different teaching material on their own in many cases. Another very important subject matter is related to the field of physical activity for children and teenagers. It is well known that for everyone, who is nearly six or seven years old, immovable pastime on the lessons for forty five minutes is nearly a torture and fifteen minutes of break are not enough for proper progress and harmony of such a young and growing organism. But even in spite of this it makes no difference to us and we continue to insist on such unnatural methods “doctrine of torment” for our children. The question is why? Against the background of this day’s schedule we are confronting the constant cases of children’s overwork and fatal outcomes.
The structure of higher education in Ukraine according to its ideology and goals corresponds to the structure of education in most developed countries of the world. It is very important that in March, 2005 Ukraine has joined the Bologna system and became an active participant of

    Latynina is quick to draw a comparison between the downward trajectory of Russia’s educational system and the upward trajectory of one of its regional rivals: China. In the time it took for all of Russia’s representatives on the list of best universities in the world to fall off of that list, China saw seven of its best schools move onto it. The author then points to an example of the incompetence of the Russian educational system. According to Latynina, four wealthy Russian students were recently arrested while racing their expensive sports cars in Geneva, Switzerland. The students in question attended the “International Branch of the Moscow State University Law Department” in Geneva. While that may sound prestigious, it turns out this school is run by a man from Azerbaijan who was wanted for fraud.…

    My mother, Maryna Bondarenko lived in Sverdlovsk, Russia for the first 6 years of her life. The Ural Mountains was a home to her, she clearly enjoyed the bright crisp of the air in the chilly mornings of fall. It would snow early, somewhere around November and the snow will keep falling and lay until beginnings of March. Then her dad, Sergey Kaldyaev, had to move away to Ukraine, Evpatoria because of work issues and other financial instabilities. He worked as a railroad engineer until recent retirement. Soon enough, my mother and my grandmother left all the family in Sverdlovsk and had to come to Evpatoria because according to Sergey, life was getting better near the Black Sea. They settled in a small community of middle class people right in the middle of the city. My mother breathed within the walls of their small apartments of the big five-story building right behind a somewhat mini little playground. In Evpatoria, she made her first step of the long trip of education.…

    Mark Edmundson provides a graphic portrayal of his opinion of college students and professors. He states that after the baby boom, "College became a buyers market. What students and their parents wanted had to be taken more and more into account. That usually meant creating more comfortable, less challenging environments, places where almost no one failed, everything was enjoyable, and everyone was nice" (Edmundson 153). Other authors, such as Brent Staples and John Holt also support this opinion.…

    In Ukraine children start going to school at the age of six or seven. It depends on their parents’ desire. Pupils attend primary school during four years. Then they attend secondary school. There are a lot of children in every school, that’s why there’re several classes, for example A,B,C. There are from fifteen to thirty-five pupils in every class. They can study a lot of subjects there: Math, English, P.E, Music, Geography and others. In most cases pupils start school at 8 o’clock in the morning. In big cities they can start at 9. There are from four to eight lessons every day, it depends on the age. Pupils don’t study on Saturdays and Sundays. Pupils can get marks from one to twelve for their studying. In some schools they must wear uniforms. Primary pupils can stay at school and do their homework with their teacher’s help but as for secondary pupils, they must do it themselves. Ukrainian pupils have holidays four times a year: in autumn, winter, spring and summer. Summer holidays are the longest. To my mind, school is very important step in children’s life, so parents must take an active part in their children’s school life.In Ukraine children start going to school at the age of six or seven.

    For Ukrainians education has always been of the highest value. Universities have been compared with temples, and their mission to serve society by means of education and science has been the priority. During the last 18 years the system of education in Ukraine has undergone deep changes and transformations, the long-term aim of which is to create a system based on the European model of higher education. This series of articles will be devoted to the process of educational reform, its influence on Ukrainian society, on state activities, on the attitudes of the academic society and of the students to the results achieved thereby, as well as to what is to be done in the future (see below for some relevant facts about Ukraine today, Figure 1 [1]). According to the Constitution of Ukraine, access to education is granted equally to all citizens. Education in Ukraine comprises a complex structure of the European type. It includes pre-school education, comprehensive secondary education, vocational technical education (VET in EU terminology) and higher education (Bachelor, Specialist and Master). There is also a postgraduate research education system for science degrees: Candidate of Science and Doctor of Science (Doctoral and Post-Doctoral education in EU terminology). The system of education as it currently exists is presented in Figure 2. Secondary education is compulsory. As a rule, schooling begins at the age of six. Since 2005, an eleven-year school program has been replaced with a twelve-year one. In the last (11th or 12th) grade, pupils take External Independent Tests. These tests are later used to determine university admission. The state guarantees a person freedom of choice, providing him or her with the possibility of obtaining an education according to his or her mental and professional abilities. As a result of the reforms made in the educational process, a multi-cycle higher education system has been introduced, with…

    Education is a national concern, a state responsibility and a local function. The USA has a Federal Department of E., but its purpose is to gather information and to advise, not to control. The administrative control, such as what books will be used in the classroom, is decided on a local level. Schools are under the jurisdiction of local school board, composed of elected citizens. State laws determine the length of school year, courses which must be taught.…
