One of the priorities of the state policy in the field of education in the conditions of European integration process and in accordance with the Bologna declaration provisions is to build higher pedagogical education in Ukraine. This process needs updating of the goals and improvement of the content of teacher education based on the competence approach, raising the level of professional preparation of teachers taking into account not only the achievements of national science, but also the main trends and regularities of teacher training functioning in Europe. Among the main problems there can be distinguished the lack of the long term single conceptual approach to the operation and development of the national system of pedagogical education; low level of material and technical, educational and information provision of higher education; weak motivation to public,businesses and investment in education; insufficient correspondence between the requirements of the society in the higher education system and its financial support from the state; the lack of an effective system of social and economic incentives for teachers and scientific-pedagogical staff. Considerable attention needs solving the problem of lowering the motivation of school leavers for acquiring teaching profession, inefficient system of employment of graduates of higher pedagogical institutions and lack of mobility systems retraining of pedagogical staff according to the needs of the labour market. There is a need in overcoming inconsistencies in education quality monitoring system according to the international standards and improving the quality of the evaluation system of university graduates, including pedagogical. The key point of reform of higher education in Ukraine is the adoption on July 1, 2014 a new law «On Higher Education», which regulates functioning of higher education system. Improving the quality of teacher training requires a change of the status of pedagogical education and its carrier – Pedagogical University – into their space. Pedagogical Universities should become centres of educational research and educational complexes and take the initiative and leaders of innovative processes in education. Reforming pedagogical education provides for demonopolization and diversity system of postgraduate pedagogical education and forms of advanced training of teaching staff at educational establishments outside their permanent place of work.

After the alarming findings of NIK’s audit at ten schools in the Lubuskie Region (none of the audited schools organised classes in compliance with the principles of mental work hygiene, nor provided full safety to students), NIK decided to conduct a wider audit that covered the whole country. It comprised 7,000 out of 19,000 state schools at the primary and middle level. Such a broad scope makes it one of biggest audits in the history of NIK. Unfortunately, the audit confirmed the results of the audit conducted in the Lubuskie Region. The negligence, whose effects frequently posed a threat to the health or even to the life of students, most often were due to basic errors in the management of state schools.

The key issue of this article is inclusive education in connection with the formal and legal aspects of students’ safety when they are staying in educational institutions. In the first part, author describes the basic assumptions of the social model of education and it’s international conditions, also referring to solutions that have been recently implemented in the Polish education system. The second part indicates the problems that may be met by educational institutions and teachers trying to achieve a state of full inclusion. They relate to the school’s caring function in terms of security guarantees. The diversity of student population, especially wide range of educational needs may make it impossible for teachers to develop specific approach to individual pupil. It’s caused by formal items, largely determined by the financial situation of particular local government units.

In the context of school network optimizing, the fate of small rural schools in Latvia has been a topical issue for politicians at the national and local level for almost a decade. As one of the main reasons talking about the depopulation of rural areas and the reduction in the number of students on formal education programs, that each new school year begins with news about the closure of several rural schools. At the same time, documents of political planning, scientific publications and research emphasize the special role of rural schools in further development, implementing state and local government obligations to provide residents with access to vital services, including education, to make attractive rural communities existence and to discover opportunities for their sustainable development. In recent decades theoretical approaches has also emphasized the role of local communities and their participation in rural development processes (the endogenous development model), while also taking into account the specific regional needs (the neo-endogenous model). The actions of various agents involved in the education system and the activity of rural communities aimed at preserving schools and the creation of multifunctional centres as one of a schools survival strategies are analysed in this article, based on the empirical data obtained in the framework of the international comparative project “Rural depopulation and the governance of education: comparative study of Latvia and Norway”: a survey of Latvian municipality education field specialists (n = 103) and quantitative survey data and the study of specific characteristic cases of representatives of small rural school administration (N = 200). The results of local governments and school administrations survey point to a direct link between the level of development of the territory (for analysis purpose all state municipalities have been grouped according to territorial development index (TDI)) and the accessibility of education, as well as the degree of activity of education agents and local communities in decision-making processes. Closure of small schools during the last 5 years most often affected economically less developed, poor municipalities. Analysis of empirical evidence suggests that the smaller the economic and social resource of municipality is ñ the smaller is the social capital of its inhabitants. In municipalities with the lowest TDI, there is comparatively weak activity of local population, a desire to take part in decision-making in support against the closure of schools. In this situation, every local government, administration/teachers of schools, as well as local residents, are forced to take responsibility for finding solutions that are based not only on economic calculations or received as direct instructions from higher institutions. Many municipalities together with schools administration search and find solutions due to expansion of functions of schools, cooperation with other municipalities and in other ways. The study is conducted with the support of funding from the EEA / Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 under Project Contract no. NFI/R/2014/014.

The aim of this paper is to show critical thinking as an important element of curriculum that is worth developing during various courses in the process education and to which the form and content of philosophy course is worth adjusting. The article points out various dificulties of putting the idea into practice, particularly those connected to assumptions and practices of the Polish education system (politicization, idelogization, lack of pluralism in the Polish school, and little preparation of teachers to develop critical thinking in their pupils). The paper also gives examples of solutions that aid skeptical thinking teaching. I do not argue that the school should resign from passing cultural competences and knowledge regarding history of culture and philosophy, but I do suggest that they do not have to the most crucial position in curriculum. Nevertheless, education should not be confined to only critical thinking as it would both restrain creative thinking and upset the balance between processes of individualization and socialization, the latter being essential on early stages of education.

The article attempts to analyse the issue of students with autism spectrum disorders who attend two types of educational institutions – integrated classes in mainstream state school and special education institutions with separate classes for students with autism. Popularity and availability more often than effectiveness affect the choice of an educational institution. Parents’ decisions may also stem from lack of awareness of the scope of educational activities conducted in each institution. One of the measures of educational success is the evaluation of the quality of life in certain spheres of students’ lives.

Aim: Introducing professionalization of the teaching profession specificity and the stages of this process in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the institutionalization of education for this professional group. Methods: An analysis of source and journalistic materials directly related to the discussed issues. Results: A reconstruction of the standards of teacher education in the initial stages of its development, with a view to their cultural and social context, which was not only their background, but also largely determined their course. Conclusion: Education and training constituted a superior value for a large part of the society and a group of political decision-makers. Education was perceived as a specific embodiment of the ideal of the American Republic and a guarantor of its prosperity. However, the policy of educating teachers implemented in practice, including organizational solutions adopted by universities that introduced this education in the second half of the nineteenth century, indicate a lack of coherence between declarations and reality. On the other hand, the social and cultural changes in the United States after World War I and the related change in the perception of the role of teachers, favored the emergence of pedagogy as a research discipline, which can be considered the culmination of the professionalization process of this profession in the USA.

The aim of the article is showing the ways of limitations of the religious practices and disposal of christianity values in the pupils’ and their families’ life in the process of creating the new, socialist man. The article is based on the interviews with teachers who worked in Polish Peoples’ Republic period. The critical analysis of sources and a free form of interview are used in the text. The communist authorities in Poland made a huge effort to create a new socialist society. Particularly they insisted on the teachers and the staff of education on each level. Moreover, the Marxism and Leninism became a base of educational and methodological attitude to the world. The material and scientists’ worldwide was a main background and it was in contradiction to religious practices and the Catholic faith represented by the students and their families. That’s why the communist goverment focused on spotlighting the nonclerical aspects of the Polish history. What it is more, the communist propoaganda “exposed” the recreational role of Catholic Church in Poland.

One of the key pillars of total defence is an increased social resilience to aggression, which is inextricably linked to an adequate model of security education. Poland’s security in the 21st century is based on the state’s military capacity and on the military and political alliances formed by decision-makers. However, this model of building security is not sufficient in the face of constantly changing and evolving security threats and challenges. Therefore, security should be based not only on a hard dimension, but also on a soft one, whose main pillar is security education. The idea of an effective model of security education is that, apart from giving young people theoretical knowledge, it is necessary to instil in them practical skills related to responding in crisis situations, including situations posing a threat to human health and life. Security education should constitute the first stage in training society in total defence. The educational model currently functioning in Poland definitely needs to be reformed.

The activities of Voluntary Labour Corps (Polish: Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy – OHP) mainly relate to young people threatened with being excluded from the education system, those who evade mandatory schooling or achieve pure results at school. These are often children from single-parent families or large families, having unemployed parents, from dysfunctional families, from families in poor financial situation and people who, despite being at young age, have already broken the law. For such people, access to education and opportunities to gain skills allowing for finding a job provide a chance for independent living. The Supreme Audit Office conducted an audit aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of OHP’s activities with regard to designing and providing professional activation for youngsters, to examine whether OHP’s offer met the requirements of the labour market, and whether those participating in OHP receive appropriate professional training and find jobs, and to what extent their jobs were stable and reflected their qualifications.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the vision of the Polish education system outlined by selected liberal parties in Poland in 1989–2019, focusing on the role played by local communities and local authorities. The text analyzes election programs of main liberal parties as well as speeches of prominent politicians. The qualitative analysis of relevant content revealed that Polish liberals clearly specified in their programs the importance of a local government (as a body that makes decisions which to a large extent pertain to school), parents and the entire local community (as an entity that actively co-participates in school’s life, and has influence on key decisions). The proposed school system was institutionally grounded in a local government and simultaneously acted as a cultural center as well as a place where a local community can spend their leisure time. To this aim, changes were postulated in three key areas: “municipalization” of the school institution, schools forming stronger ties to the local community, and modification of education funding system.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of affirmative action in the Brazilian system of higher education, which is aimed at benefitting Afro- Brazilians suffering from the legacy of structural racism and economic inequality. The authors will highlight some of the problems linked to the racial quota system, and demonstrate that its implementation is deeply hindered by several factors, such as traditional denial of existing racial prejudice in Brazilian society, a lack of precise, normative definitions of eligibility for programs, failure of pre-university public education to properly prepare students for university-level academics, and – last but not least – a lack of sufficient support from academic institutions. The article will present both quantitative and qualitative data that show the expectations, doubts, and fears of the Brazilian academic environment with regard to the racial quota system. After a review of Brazil’s racial history and an analysis of students’ and professors’ opinions, the authors will argue that, in order for colored citizens to become fully integrated into Brazilian society, they must first be legally enabled to overcome social, educational, and economic obstacles and handicap.
