  • I found this pdf on the Law on Higher Education straight from a ukrainian official source https://dduvs.edu.ua/wp-content/uploads/files/ENG/2020/la.pdf.

    I have not read it entirely because I couldn’t be bothered to read 100 pages of this however from a cursory glance it looks like the law is aiming to align their education system with the rest of the EU through the European Higher Education Area (meaning ETCS, bachelor, master etc.)

    Of course it’s full of neoliberal ideology, but that’s what you’d expect from a EU law.

    This Law sets forth the principal legal, organizational and financial foothold for operations of the higher education system, creates an environment to enhance cooperation between state authorities, businesses and higher education institutions on the principles of institutional autonomy for higher education, integration of education, science and industry intended to foster and promote competitive human capital for the country’s high technological and innovative development, individual self-fulfilment, and meeting the needs of the society, labour market and the State in skilled labour force.

    facilitation of public-private partnership in the area of higher education;

    I can see some good stuff like:

    adequate government support to education and training of individuals with special education needs by creating free access to education experience and ensuring specialized learning and rehabilitation support;

    All in all my guess is that these changes were done with a EU membership in sight in the next X years. I did not see clear mention on ultra-nationalist focused education, but rather a goal to raise a generation that would probably be culturally aligned with the EU, through education ties and way wore aligned with liberalism. However, it looks like the changes are not going smoothly and the atlantic council ghouls don’t like that.

    In the end, I cannot speak as to how this impacted education in Ukraine since 2014 and whether they did some other stuff as I don’t know a single person that was still in school during this period in Ukraine.
