Як нам перейти від НУШ до РУШ?

Abstract

The article analyzes the modern education system of Ukraine. Examples of positive changes in connection with the implementation of the ideas of the New Ukrainian School are given. At the same time, it is pointed out the expediency of the transition to the Rational Ukrainian School, which involves changes in the names of the structural components of the education system and their arrangement. In particular, the feasibility of introducing collegiums (1–4 years of study), gymnasiums (5–9 years of study) and lyceums (10–12 years of study) is seen. In lyceums, training is carried out according to two profiles: academic and applied. The first is aimed at students who prefer theoretical knowledge, the second is aimed at students who prefer practical skills. In addition to the above, specialized training is implemented through the functioning of several institutions of general specialized education, namely, scientific, sports, military, management and artistic lyceums. These institutions of general specialized education are designed for the education of gifted students, who, in addition, can develop their own creative abilities in non-formal education institutions. The article also emphasizes the need to introduce certain changes in the segment of professional education, because without them, innovations in the segment of general education will not give the desired result. Namely, it is proposed to consider professional education in terms of schools, colleges and universities. In the first, students acquire primary, in the second – secondary, and in the third – higher professional education. The examination of the education system of Ukraine ends with an analysis of doctoral programs. Postgraduate and doctoral students are offered two years of individual study practice at each level of the doctoral program.
