The population decline affected academic teachers and the need to modernize the high school education, focusing more attention to the process of learning – studying instead of teaching. What is more, Polish universities have to meet obligatory UE regulations. The aim is that teaching in high school was not intuitive and every academic teacher had not only theoretical knowledge but also didactical competencies, and he or she was aware of the desirability of constant exploration of more effective forms of streamlining the process of pedagogical education. One aspect of the modernization of the education process is evaluation. Competency of academic staff must be enhanced with the ability to develop and put into practice the National Qualifications Framework. The purpose of this article is to show the need for discourse related to forming and evaluation of curricula of didactic in high school as a subject of university education of teachers aspiring to improve the quality of education.

Having the ability of the efficient getting around the labour market is now necessary for everyone who enters the adults life and intends to start professional work. Finding a job these times, requires the skills of coping with the constantly changing conditions. Some jobs have been disappearing, while others are appearing. Therefore, the need for the constant improvement of qualifications and lifelong learning, must be often satisfied by almost all participants in the labour market. Finding the first job usually causes a lot of problems, thus it is important to have the appropriate support system, which can be provided by schools. Its mission is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills needed in order to select the proper fields of education, or profession and appropriate incorporate their aspirations into the expectations of the employer. The school can achieve such tasks by a number of its own initiatives, namely, the career counseling, and/or special subject-matter projects. The school plays a very important role in preparing young people for the entry into the adults life. However, a person who wants to remain active in the labour market should be flexible and adapt himself/herself to constantly changing conditions. He/she will be still professionally active, if he/she keeps fulfilling such conditions.

In the article, an attempt has been made to conceptualize the problems of effectiveness and usefulness of education by examining the quality of teaching from an operational perspective. The effectiveness is understood as a level of attainment of educational objectives being related to the social functions of education; the usefulness is defined as the benefits of realization of these functions to individuals and groups. Effectiveness and usefulness, when treated as aspects of the quality of education, are placed in an evaluative context consisting of: the education objectives, social actors interested in training and their expectations, the normative sphere (with respect to education problems) as well as areas, directions and methods of assessment.

The concept of the quality of consumer products and services is fairly well defined. Although today quality of life, including quality of education and training, is a commonly discussed topic, one has to admit that the evaluation system of educational processes and the quality of work of educational institutions is surprisingly low. At the same time, the modernization processes in the system of universities forces basing development decisions , including funding, on achieved indicators of work effects of universities. Existing, domestic and international, external and internal quality assurance systems of university work have been criticized for arbitrariness, unilateralism (eg. the criteria exclusively on the results of teaching, or solely on the results of research), ambiguity of the methodology, unreliability of sources of used data, etc. This means that further inquiry to identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as the directions of their consolidation in the complex policy tool for scientific, educational and social decisions is necessary.

In the last twenty years the number of students and universities in Poland has increased more than four times. This quantitative increase has meant for the didactics of mathematics the need to reduce the level of education. Currently, this upward trend is in reverse and the higher education sector, practically in all Europe, can expect reductions. The current efforts of policy makers and academic staff are focused on improving the quality of education in order – among other reasons – to stay competitive. Shifting focus from quantity and efficiency to quality of education can be an opportunity but also a threat. The problem is how to understand the quality of education and how it can be put into pedagogical practice. Maths education has its own specific conditions. Taking them into account may result not only in improving the quality of didactics of mathematics, but more widely – improving the quality of what is understood as the process of higher education. The article gives an overview of the changes taking place in the Polish higher education sector over the last two decades and of the various definitions of the quality of education. It also presents some conclusions on the relation between the interpretation of the quality of education and didactics of mathematics.

The aim of this article is to summarise the evolution of the labour market situation of vocational education graduates in the last 20 years in Poland. With the use of statistical analyses of LFS and PIAAC data, we present the main changes in the situation of vocational education graduates in terms of their number, employment status, wages and skills. The number of students has decreased sharply in the last 20 years, in basic vocational schools, but not in vocational upper secondary schools. Our results support the thesis that the main challenges facing vocational education in Poland are not the decline in the number of students, but the strong negative selection mechanisms, low effectiveness of attaining basic skills and the inability of vocational education to quickly adapt to structural changes in the economy. We show why the key success factor of vocational education should be the development of general skills, and why introducing a dual education system is unlikely to solve its most important problems in Poland.

The quality of education is increasingly being measured less by the knowledge gained during schooling and more by the level of competence possessed by students at doing a particular job after completing their education. Target and process-planned curricula are being replaced more and more by competenceoriented curricula, especially in science and technology education, where competences, generally defined as the ability of an individual to do a job properly, are placed at the forefront. In these, skills are not understood primarily as cognitive skills (e.g. critical thinking), but mostly as skills in connection to psychomo torics. If competence is the desired criterion for educational quality, it can be easily established that suitable instruments and methods of measurement are needed for this kind of quality evaluation, which, however, are not yet available. This is why in the field of competences a special unified competences taxonomy was developed, based on different taxonomies for the cognitive and also affective and psychomotor fields. Additionally, suitable instrumentation was developed in this study. Its use was demonstrated in the example of elementary education in Slovenia in the field of science and technology education.

The article is devoted to evaluation of criteria and indicators of the measuring of university education quality. On the basis of an expert interview of the teaching/academic staff of the Institute of Human Sciences of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, three main criteria were identified (resourses of educational activities, organization of educational activities, the results of specialist training) and their indicators (the level of teaching/academic staff, students as subjects of education, material base, information and methodological support, technologies of training and education, presentation of educational achievements, competitiveness of graduates at the job market, professional achievements of graduates). The proposed criteria and indicators of the quality of education measuring made it possible to evaluate a methodology of measuring/monitoring of university education quality, which is the innovation of our research. A wheel model, whose rung is a criterion indicator, was included in the basis of the methodology of measuring/monitoring of the quality of education. Each rung is also a separate indicator measuring scale and it is divided into ten conditional labels.

The article is devoted to the problem of monitoring of the quality of students’ professional training at Ukrainian universities. Monitoring is regarded as an instrument of defining regularities, tendencies, variables and their dynamics for designing measures aimed at improving the quality of higher professional education. The research is based on the methods of comparative analyses such as comparison and ranging. The latest state documents concerning education: the Laws of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (2014) and “On Education” (2016) are taken into consideration by the author. Gaps in students’ professional training are defined: most students are not able to work in a team; they cannot take decisions and bare responsibilities for their implementation. Students are overloaded with theoretical material and lack of practical skills of using their knowledge in practice. That is because the academic process at most Ukrainian universities is based on knowledge-oriented approach while in European universities the competence approach to teaching prevails. Reproductive but not creative thinking is prospering at our universities: students reproduce the materials from the textbooks which are often obsolete and do not reflect the latest research data. Students seldom participate in scientific-research activity or are engaged in special students scientific societies. As a result our university graduates are passive and very rare create their own intellectual products. Very often they cannot get used to quickly changeable reality because they were taught to operate by only standard set of knowledge and skills. All these drawbacks prevent our students from successful integration to the European educational community. The basic ways of monitoring of students’ professional competence are cleared out. They are connected with improving of the of informative and analytical level of accompaniment of the university activity, creating the mechanism of well-timed exposure of the main tendencies and changes concerning improving of the quality of professional training at Ukrainian universities. Monitoring of the quality of higher professional education can be regarded as a means of management of the university activity in general and as an instrument for planning further steps on the way of improving our higher educational system.

The article presents the issues related to the implementation of the rules of the National Framework of Qualification Standards for Higher Education and proposes their practical solutions by means of dedicated ICT applications, called PSSOR. The PSSOR system has been developed at Wrocław University of Economics (WUE). The application allows to make a smooth reconstruction of the formal requirements and descriptions of all programs of the studies conducted at four faculties of the WUE; and is currently used to manage the educational programs. In the paper the few main functionalities of PSSOR are presented and illustrated. The practical usefulness of the system is systematically verified by the staff and students of the WUE, while pointing further issues related to the organization of modern educational processes.

The author of the article analyzes the contemporary approaches to quality management of educational services in secondary education of Ukraine and Great Britain. The national educational standards in the secondary educational system of Great Britain that affect the process of formation and development of education in accordance with the laws of market economy are determined. The centralized and decentralized management mechanisms are characterized and specified, their role in enhancing the quality of education is defined. The main scientific approaches to monitoring the quality of educational services are overviewed. In general, the main tasks of management of the general secondary education, declared by the Law of Ukraine “On General Secondary Education” are: creating the conditions for citizens to complete secondary education; forecasting the development of secondary education network of schools according to the educational needs of the citizens; certification of schools of general secondary education, publication of the results of certification through the media; licensing of secondary schools based on private property; control over compliance with the State standard of secondary education, educational guidance and public inspection of secondary schools; social protection;promoting self-government in secondary schools;acquisition of general secondary education teaching staff, including executive staff. It is noted that in Ukraine State standard of secondary education is a “construction of norms and regulations that determine the state education requirements for the students and graduates of schools in primary, basic and secondary education and state guarantees to its achievement”. Unlike our country, in the UK national educational standards define the requirements for the education of the pupils at key stages of education. In addition, the UK national standards are differentiated, including the explicit level set of minimum national standards of educational achievement (minimum national standards of achievement) and standards of academic performance average (the so-called “floor standards”), which evaluated the state primary and secondary school. Thus, the article has revealed common characteristics in quality management of educational services in secondary education of Ukraine and Great Britain in the regulatory aspects of security, procedural principles of quality management.

In 2003 Madagascar joined the UNESCO “Education for All” programme. The primary objective of the programme is to improve accessibility to and the quality of the education system. Although there has been progress in achieving universal primary education, this progress has not been accompanied by the necessary safeguards for ensuring quality of education. According to the UNESCO report “Éducation pour tous. Madagascar 2015" only 79% the Malagasy children who started school went on to complete their primary education. The PASEC (Program on the Analysis of Education Systems) report also shows the low quality of education – children repeating school years together with low educational outcomes in Mathematics and French. This poor quality of education is undoubtedly in violation of the rights of children to their individual development. This article attempts to answer the question about the causes of the low quality of education in Madagascar. According to the author it’s important to note that apart from poverty and child labour the low professional qualifications of teachers is also a contributory factor.

E-learning has become a challenge for many universities worldwide, which during the pandemic had to switch overnight from offline to online learning and meet the expectations of students for whom this form of education was often alien. The aim of the paper is to present how students from two different countries, Spain and Poland, perceived e-learning during the pandemic, what factors, in their opinion, influenced their satisfaction with this form of education, which of them decreased it; and what are the similarities and differences in their opinion. In order to get to know their opinions, an online survey was conducted with students at the University of Manresa (Spain), and telephone interviews with students of the Warsaw University of Technology Business School. A comparative analysis of the obtained results was then performed to determine the similarities and differences in the satisfaction with e-learning between the Spanish and Polish students. The study shows that the main factors satisfying both groups of students are the possibility to use digital didactic materials, the quality of e-learning platforms, the organisation of e-learning, and the support provided by universities and lecturers. The most significant differences were visible in the perception of online classes, the formula for completing the course, and the didactic activities for students. The research results lead to the conclusion that despite the cultural differences and different teaching systems, the factors satisfying students with e-learning in the two countries were in fact quite similar.

Universities strive to ensure all students have equal opportunities for education and their possibility of participating fully in life of the academic community, due to a disability, is not anyhow limited or diminished. Therefore, adaptation of didactic methods and study environments to the expectations of the students with special educational needs has become a necessity. Among many amenities, one can enlist the following: the possibility of preparing materials in several alternative forms of writing, changing the examination and receiving credits procedures as well as adapting the organization of the examination session. Moreover, dedicated support centres emerge. Their duty is to assist students with various types and degrees of disability as well as counselling students in situations of life crisis who need help and consulting from specialists. This article introduces types of special educational needs, their history as well as forms and methods of working with people with SEN.
