The Development Strategy

    The specialists training does not correspond to the market requirements. More than the half of Ukrainian universities trains either lawyers or economists The last decade has shown the change of students in humanities to students in technical sciences ratio from 20:80 to 80:20 According to optimistic scenario in 2020 there will be 1280.47

thousand students, which is only 54 per cent of the student’s contingent in 2007 Due to the establishment of large amount of higher educational institutions in Ukraine throughout last 20 years and crisis in country’s demography the number of places in national universities exceeds the quantity of school leavers

The Problems of Higher Educational Establishments

 Bachelor’s degree is not widely renowned in Ukraine. As a rule the applicant chooses the major, but not the qualification level  On the one hand the specialist and master training programs are almost the same and this enables 90 per cent of bachelors to continue education.  This way the universities do not select the best students after obtaining the bachelor’s degree to continue their studies and become scholars in certain fields
