Education as one of the most important factors of the post-war development of Ukraine: problems and challenges

Abstract

The article is devoted to problems and challenges in the educational sphere of Ukraine, the place of education and human resources in the future development of Ukraine, in particular in light of the post-war difficulties in the reconstruction of the country. The essence of education in modern realities under conditions of rapid development of artificial intelligence and automation of workplaces is highlighted. Particular attention is paid to the current state of education in Ukraine, PISA research on Ukrainian students and the ineffective use of educational resources. The Government of Ukraine outlines that the main tactical goal for today is to return to the pre-war level of economic development, and in the future to make an economic leap, an economic miracle. In our opinion, it is possible to achieve an economic miracle in the conditions in which the country finds itself today only through the development of human capital. Therefore, in the article the shortcomings and problems of the modern Ukrainian educational system and the possibilities of their changes and reforms are analysed. It outlines the steps that can be taken today to improve the situation and characterizes the set of features characteristic of all successful systems. The analysis of the domestic education system makes it possible to understand what steps need to be taken to reform the education sector.
