Grounded on the historiographic analysis of legislative, documentary, scientific, sociological sources, carried out on the basis of systemic and interdisciplinary approaches, the deployment of state policy in the field of secondary general education in Ukraine is presented in chronotopic integrity. The subject of the research is the activities of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (within the chronological boundaries of 2000 – early 2005) as a representative and generator of the state policy in the field of school education development. The issue of analysis were the concepts of «reforming of education» as the development of a strategy for changes in the school policy of the state and the concept of «modernization of education» as the production and implementation of conceptually new tactical tasks aimed at the implementation of strategic plans. It is substantiated that the activities of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in the period under study had an active reformatory character and became the second period of reforming the school educating sphere in the history of independent Ukraine. In our opinion, the first is the period of 1991-1993. The work of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in 2000 – early 2005 years was aimed at implementing a new European integration strategy by means of radically modernized tactical steps (introducing and developing state standards of education, an individualized 12-point scale for assessing students' educational achievements, updating the content of the secondary education and ensuring its variability, the transition to a 12-year period of school education and gradual profile of the senior school, the producing of general educational concepts for the modernization of a secondary school, primarily in the aspect of its informatization and computerization, the purposeful formation of the civic qualities, an ecological worldview in children and youth), which corresponded to the realities of globalization processes. The European integration path of development of both the state itself and the education system was combined with the establishing the pedocentric paradigm in school education. At the same time, the reform activities of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine retained elements of rational continuity in developing of the previous modernization changes in the field of school education (increasing the number of schools with the Ukrainian language of learning, deepening the processes of individualization of education). The projects of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine during the period under the study also concerned the urgent educational and social aspects of school modernization – the beginning of the implementation of the «School Bus» program, the state «Teacher» program aimed at improving the social status of the teacher.

The purpose of the article is to identify the problems and contradictions of the state policy in the sphere of European integration of Ukraine and to justify the ways of overcoming them in the current conditions. The main internal problem that hinders the European integration course of Ukraine, experts consider, first of all, inefficiency of the public administration system – insufficient level of competence of civil servants, excessive bureaucracy, unreformed and corrupt public administration system. The top five major internal problems also include: the situation in the Donbas (including both armed conflict and public sentiment), high levels of corruption in Ukrainian society, ineffective policy of informing the population about European integration, lack of consensus in the political and social issues. The opinion that aggression, pressure and all-out hindrance from Russia will be a major external challenge for Ukraine’s European course, is shared by all experts interviewed. Among the major external obstacles, experts also cite internal problems of the EU itself, opposition or waiting position on the part of some EU members who do not want to break their ties with Russia, as well as the lack of a unified position in the European Union regarding the European perspective of Ukraine and the EU enlargement in general. Experts consider that the most effective factor contributing to the increase of the support of European integration in Ukrainian society is the successful implementation of internal reforms and the positive effect of ordinary citizens on them. In today’s context, Ukraine’s accession to the EU remains a goal for which it is active in political, legal, economic and other spheres. Conclusions from this research and perspectives of future development in current area. At the present stage of social development the process of forming and implementing effective and effective state policy in the field of European integration is of particular importance. Ukraine’s accession to the EU is a long-term issue, which depends on both the effectiveness of internal reforms and the transformation processes in the EU. However, Ukraine already needs to insist on giving it a formal EU membership perspective.

The article presents analysis of the requirements of the FSES on the levels of General education to personal and metasubject educational outcomes. The basis for the analysis of requirements of the FSES is the controllability of the process of formation of metasubject and personal educational outcomes at the level of educational institutions, and educational systems. It is obvious that the management of the process of educational outcomes formation implies the possibility to defi ne specifi c educational outcomes of the stage, year of study, topic / section, lesson / extracurricular activities and implement formative and summative assessment of the results. This demands the operationalization of the FSES requirements for the purpose of building up and evaluation. The attempt of such operationalization is proposed in the paper and supplied with examples. The article contains correlation requirements of the new standard to personal and metasubject educational results with education results traditionally accepted in didactics. It is revealed that a signifi cant portion of metasubject educational outcomes represent the key (general) competencies of students, i.e., assigned universal ways of activity in the fi eld of information, communication, problem-solving (self-management). The results have been obtained in the framework of the state task of Russian Ministry of Education for the Federal Institute for Education Development on the theme �Organizational-methodical maintenance of process of formation of metasubject and personal outcomes of students in accordance with FSES of elementary, primary and secondary schools�.
