Education in Ukraine
The History of Schooling in Ukraine
Christian monasteries and temples became the first centres of schooling. Most of the religious communities had a school, where
monks and priests were the first teachers. In the 16th –18th centuries an ever-increasing
number of schools were founded by the communities – the so-called Brotherhoods.
The Greek-Slavonic-Latin Collegium, Ukraine’s first seat of higher learning,
was founded in Ostrog (Rivne region) in 1576.
In the 18th century the level of public literacy
in Ukraine was higher than in most western and eastern European countries.
Schools could be found in most of the villages. The first universities appeared in Lviv (1784),
Kharkiv (1805), Kyiv (1834) and Odesa (1865).
It should be mentioned that such a seat of higher learning as the Mohyla Academy came
to be as early as 1615. Until 1616 the Academy was the only institution of higher learning of
Eastern Europe.

the level of knowledge a student has after finishing a secondary school but give the
student a chance to continue his/ her education in colleges and universities.
The Higher Education
The Higher Education is the post-secondary

education. It may be full-time, part-time
or distance learning.
In Ukraine there are the following types of
higher educational establishments: technical schools,
colleges, institutes,
conservatories, academies,
universities, etc.
Among the institutions of higher education special place
belongs to universities. They train specialists for various fields of science
(physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, law, linguistics, etc.),
conduct post graduate courses and grant degrees. Universities offer a five-year course of study and usually have
from six to twelve departments.
Degrees of higher education are the following:
bachelor's degree (usually after three years of study); specialist degree (after five years of study and a
diploma project), master's degree (after post-graduate courses);
doctorate (after dissertation research approved, the degree is traditionally called 'candidate of science'); the degree of a doctor of science (after the second,
more important dissertation approved).
