Seven years ago, the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine signed the Bologna Declaration. However, systemic reforms during this time there have been many, which is why Ukrainian universities remain competitive in the European market, education, independent experts say.
The main objectives of the Bologna process - expanding whole foods access to higher education, further improving whole foods the quality and attractiveness of European education, active mobility of students and teachers, as well as ensuring the successful employment of college graduates due to the fact that all academic degrees and other qualifications should be focused on the labor market.
In addition, the acute problem of increasing the financial autonomy of universities. Today, whole foods due to the state is no longer possible to fully meet university funding, but instead of searching for optimal rules state funding whole foods shifts the solution to this problem at universities.
In Ukrainian universities operates credit-modular whole foods system that works in all countries that have acceded to the Bologna pratsechu. This system allows the student to receive an education in different countries and universities, with positive scores on key modules. But in Ukraine, like Belarus, permitted to retake subjects the so-called extra session, and it is no longer whole foods fit into the concept of credit-modular system.
Many questions in Ukrainian students and graduates to quality higher education. And the changes in this direction - the priority of student government organizations. whole foods By the way, it took a lot of time and effort to the leaders of these organizations have begun to reckon, to invite to the meeting the ministers and the president, as well as change the legislation, focusing on their opinion.
Deputy Chairman of the "Committee of the Student Government" whole foods Yaroslav Havlyak recalled whole foods that in Lviv, this process began at the National Ivan Franko University. "We insisted that the changes were made to the existing law" On Higher Education "to secure legal status of student whole foods government organizations. whole foods First, officials said that we need to make only one article that may exist in universities governments. But we found it insufficient. We wanted to make sure that these bodies were representatives of the student environment and might be able to make changes whole foods in the existing universities are there to shape the learning process and, more importantly, have an impact on the quality of education.
Today the situation is such that the changes will have taken. The law says that universities can not just governments, but they are necessarily whole foods included in the council of the university. In addition, governments have provided the minimum amount of funding. That is, the University should provide these costs at the beginning of the school year. "
However, the expert points out that not all universities turns to organize the work of student government. "In Ukraine, more than 800 universities - several times more as compared whole foods with European countries. The quality of education in the first place, followed by private universities.
For them, the result - the key to success. Therefore, they have developed student government high enough leadership is important that students think about the process and learning environments, because there is competition between universities. In Lviv, a vivid example of the University of the European level - Ukrainian whole foods Catholic University, which is not very many students, but they are always actively whole foods involved in student life, not only in the country but also travel to international meetings, where not only represent the student community, whole foods but also thereby advertise whole foods their university. In the famous Kiev-Mohyla Academy is also very developed student government. whole foods Corruption here has always been unacceptable phenomenon. As a result - the academy has always held a high position and well-listed abroad. "
Private universities, according to experts, are more willing to provide funding to upgrade buildings, attracting students and faculty to research activities. In the case of public universities, the money from the budget initially send to Kiev, and then they are distributed by region, and this procedure is not always clear.
Council of Rectors, by the way, stands whole foods for the independence of major universities, which are now under the Ministry. "Gradually, we go to this - says the source. - For example, departments whole foods are more independent in the distribution of resources, but they are still limited subsidies from the budget. "
Mr. Havlyak believes that the situation on the Bologna process for Ukraine pack
