EDUCATIONAL INDICATORS AS A MEANS OF HARMONISING UKRAINIAN AND EUROPEAN EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Full text (pdf)
Language: English
Abstract. The article examines the role of educational indicators as a key tool for harmonising the Ukrainian and European education systems. In the context of reforming Ukraine’s educational system within the framework of European integration processes, there is a need to introduce criteria that address current challenges and meet the requirements of the European Union, and at the same time enable the positioning of the Ukrainian education system among those of the EU member states. Educational indicators serve as a tool for assessing the quality of educational processes and ensuring the comparability of learning outcomes both nationally and internationally. In this article, the authors consider the main approaches to defining educational indicators and their role in the development of national educational criteria. The article focuses on indicators based on branch statistical reporting and information obtained from monitoring studies on the implementation of reforms in the education sector. The issue of adapting European educational criteria in the Ukrainian context, taking into account the peculiarities of the national education system, is highlighted separately. The OECD educational indicators on education expenditures, access to educational services, and the number of learners per teacher are used as examples. This study aims to analyse the possibilities of using European indicators as a benchmark for improving the quality of education in Ukraine. The conclusions of the study presented in the article confirm that the integration of European educational indicators will help to improve the quality of Ukrainian education, increase its competitiveness in the international arena, and strengthen the relationship between national and European educational systems.
