This study aims to analyse students’ enrollment in social work courses in Indian higher educational institutions. The higher education system in India is one of the world's largest systems of its kind. There are 526 social work educational institutions and 181 Universities (20 per cent) imparting social work education and training at different levels. The data from the reports of All India Survey on Higher Education for the period of 2010-11 to 2018-19 was analysed. More than half (59.12 per cent) of the institutions are teaching undergraduate courses in social work (BSW), and more than 95 per cent are teaching postgraduate courses (MSW). Male students outnumbered female students in both courses. The share of students enrolled through distance mode of education in BSW and MSW programmes is 22 per cent and 34.09 per cent, respectively. Student enrollment at the M. Phil level has witnessed a sudden decline, but there has been a consistent increase in the Ph.D. programme. India has added around 0.36 million BSWs/MSWs in the past eight years, averaging forty-five thousand professional social workers per annum. The changes in the socio-political environment, human relationships and social space, technology, and globalisation processes and global agenda will decide the future of social work in India.

The article considers some elements that reflect the state of historical memory about the Great Patriotic war of 1941–1945 among the students of Chuvashia. To identify them, the authors used the materials of an empirical research conducted among students of higher educational institutions of the Chuvash Republic in March 2020 by the Chuvash State Institute of Humanities with the participation of individual authors of the article. In the course of this study, a total of 324 students from five Cheboksary higher educational institutions were interviewed. The data obtained have not yet been used in scientific publications. From this point of view, they represent an original source of information for analyzing the problems of preserving the historical memory about the Great Patriotic War among out-of-school youth and students. The paper consistently examines the level of students’ interest in the military events of 1941–1945, in the sources of information about the main facts and heroes and identifies opinions about the significance of a set of factors that played a significant role in achieving the victory over fascism. As a result of summarizing the data obtained in the course of an empirical research, different opinions of respondents about the significance of the USSR victory in the Great Patriotic war are presented. The obtained materials show that the majority of students show a considerable interest in the events and facts of the war, correctly characterize the sources, results and historical consequences of the victory over the Hitlerite Germany. The results of the study provide an opportunity for lecturers of higher educational institutions to take into account the data obtained in the process of organizing the effective use of various sources on the history of the war, to apply the materials obtained not only in educational work but in awareness-raising work as well.

The article proves that the need for the development of intercultural communication skills in the learning process is due to external causes of globalization and internal requirements of the modern ethnocultural situation in Ukraine, as well as the needs of pedagogical science, which takes into account global development trends: anthropocentrism, search for value orientations and new worldview, the need for acquisition of intercultural interaction skills that ensure competitiveness in the global community. According to the author, the skills of intercultural communication of future specialists are characterized by the integrity of formation of personal qualities and abilities, the ability to switch from one culture-specific code to another, taking into account their differences, flexibly vary communication strategies and tactics, maintain a positive attitude; choice of verbal and non-verbal means. In this regard, the author proposed the idea of using Web 2.0 in the formation of intercultural communication skills. Experimental application of a special method of working with educational Internet resources based on Web 2.0 technologies was tested in the Practical English academic course. It was found that the use of Web 2.0 in the development of intercultural communication skills in the process of studying at higher educational institutions opens up a wide range of opportunities for educational practice: the use of free electronic resources used for educational purposes; independent creation of network content; interpersonal interactions of the subjects of the educational process. To analyse the results obtained and objectively consider the dynamics of changes in the level of development of intercultural communication skills, control and measuring materials selected were the assignments of the Level 6 Certificate of General Language Proficiency (CAE Advanced) and a test to determine the level of development of learning strategies - the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version 7.0. It was found that the use of educational Internet resources based on Web 2.0 technologies activates the professionally significant qualities of future specialists, the ability to carry out intercultural communication, expands the horizons of the worldview and the sphere of professional activity to the maximum possible extent, professional mobility, which is a condition and basis of professionalism and mastery. The proposed methods, techniques and technologies can be used regardless of the foreign language and have transnational significance.

The labour market started to make a difference between the diplomas issued by higher educational institutions. The decision of prospective students considerably depends on the labour market value of a certain diploma. Career monitoring of graduates is a very important task of higher educational institutions. Feedback and experiences from the graduates and the employers are valuable sources of information for the institutions to shape their teaching activities in order to meet the actual demand of the labour market. Career monitoring of graduates is not a common activity at present in Hungary. Some institutions regularly monitor the labour market position of their graduates, but unfortunately most institutions do not invest time or manpower in such activities. A country level study has already been introduced that included almost all the higher educational institutions in Hungary. This study, coordinated by the Hungarian Ministry of Education, appears ready to be continued. The aim of this study is to introduce some institutional and country level initiations of career monitoring.

Civic identity is one of the most integrating systems, reflecting a wide range of different spheres of society's life, through which self-determination of the individual as a citizen of his country is carried out. The purpose of this work is to identify and compare the features of the civic identity of students of medical, humanitarian and technical higher educational institutions in the city of Saratov. The article is the first to consider the problem of the formation of civic identity of students of various universities from the standpoint of the analysis of cognitive, emotional and behavioral components. An experimental statistical study was carried out, in which 57 students took part. Based on the data obtained, the prevailing social value orientations of students of a humanitarian university, social-role value orientations of students of a medical university, as well as hedonistic value orientations of students of a technical university were revealed. The results of the study indicate that the constituent components of civic identity among students of a technical university are formed at a significantly lower level in comparison with students of other universities. The highest level of communicative potential is observed among students of a humanitarian university, and the lowest — among students of a technical university. The lowest level of behavioral regulation was formed among students of a technical university. Reduce the level of civic identity, namely its behavioral and emotional components, social introversion and psychasthenia; in addition, the behavioral component decreases due to an increase in the severity of depressive personality traits. The formation of the cognitive component of civic identity among students of humanitarian, medical and technical universities is associated with an adequate perception of reality.
