The democratization of higher education

Quality renewal of the Ukrainian society, the formation of a democratic environment, the development of a new State requires a reconstruction of higher education institutions in accordance with society's needs and educational trends in the world, and in the context of European integration of Ukraine.

The State and the nation without modern system of education are unable to build and preserve democracy. For modern Ukraine higher education is the condition and the guarantor of historical transition of the nation to a new democratic stage and the development of a new State. It should be directed on formation of a new type of citizen with the realization of freedom and self-responsibility.

The activities of RUNY in the area of democratization of higher education has the following objectives and priorities:

  • fighting corruption in institutions of higher education
  • ensuring the egalitarian nature of education, expressed in the equality of educational opportunities
  • improvment of the quality of education as a basic measure of achieving the goals and objectives, set in the educational program
  • development of democratic relations between lecturers and students
  • provision of the objective knowledge and the absence of ideological dictates
  • development of the “lifelong learning”, when society and its educational and professional institutions provide the individual with such an opportunity
  • introduction of civic education as a means of political socialization, a form of encouraging citizens to participate actively and responsibly in decision-making
  • increasing the autonomy of universities, decentralization and extension of their rights
  • ensuring the openness, transparency and publicity of the actors of the educational proces.
