CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF A NATIONAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT BASIS

Abstract

The article deals with the types of education such as formal, nonformal and informal based on the current legislation of Ukraine.Characteristics of ways of organizing training by certain types are given. It is determined that competently based standards characterize the content of education at the school level (State standard of elementary general education 2011, state standard of basic and complete secondary education 2011), vocational (introduction of state standards of vocational education based on competencies ) and higher education (in accordance with the new Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education» 2014). The main problems of the modern educational policy with regard to the evaluation of its results and the inconsistency of the economic mechanism in the education mechanism with the principles of a market economy are highlighted. The ways of ensuring the development of the educational sector of the national economy are proposed: introduction of independent professional certification, reformation of the system of certification and professional development of pedagogical workers; reform of the management system and financial and economic mechanism of functioning of the education system in Ukraine; introduction of an external independent evaluation of the learning outcomes obtained at each educational level, including EIT; development of alternativeeducational projects; expanding the use of modern technologies in themanagement of education, organization of the educational process andcontrol of learning outcomes and implementation of automated information systems; development and implementation of pilot projects to develop new mechanisms for managing and organizing educational activities. The conceptual approach of forming the foundations of the development of national education is proposed in three stages: in the framework of theoretical studies we propose to reveal the essence and role of education as an integral part of the functioning of the national economy; to define conceptual bases of national education development; to explore and study the world experience of transformation of educational processes, on the basis of which to distinguish the constituent characteristics adapted to the Ukrainian educational realities.An approach to the analysis of the economic trends of the educationalsector, taking into account absolute and specific indicators, will beestablished, which will identify internal and strategic problems of theindustry and will allow to form concrete regulatory measures for improving the quality of educational services and modernization of the entire education system.
