The Moment

Decentralization reform includes a number of other reforms, including education reform, which is one of the most important. The main results of the reform of secondary education are: the introduction of the New Ukrainian School, the change of the system of management and financing of institutions, as well as the creation of educational districts and basic schools. Optimization of the network of general secondary education institutions (GSEI) is an important element on the way to quality educational services. When optimizing the network of GSEI, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors, among which the most important are: quality of transport routes, distance of transportation of students, number of students who will need transportation, material and technical base of institutions (availability of computer classes, gym and classrooms), staffing of the library fund, the quality of teaching staff and others. As of September,1 2019 there were 402 educational establishments with 105483 students in Chernivtsi oblast. Currently, 14 basic educational institutions and 22 branches have been established in Chernivtsi oblast. Among the raions, the largest number of basic educational institutions have been established in Hertsa raion. No basic educational institutions have been established in Putyla and Hlyboka raions, as well as in the city of Chernivtsi. A total of 7,354 students study in basic institutions and their branches. To test the method of optimization of the network of GSEI, we chose Kitsman raion of Chernivtsi oblast, which is optimal for the oblast and Ukraine in general on various indicators: demographic characteristics; the size of the raion; features of the transport network; the number of GSEI and students enrolled in them and others. Currently, there are 2 basic institutions and 2 branches in Kitsman raion. After analyzing a number of indicators (level of institutions, peculiarities of the institution location, number of students who will need transportation, area of student premises, material and technical base, staffing of the library fund, qualification of pedagogical staff and quality of graduates’ knowledge), we propose to optimize Kitsman raion network of GSEI, by means of establishing of 12 educational districts, 11 basic institutions and 26 branches. In most educational districts of Kitsman raion we propose to create one basic institution, only in Kitsman educational district – two, and in Shypyntsi and Luzhany educational districts not to create any basic institution at the moment.

The author analyzes the system of pre-university education in Egypt, which the Constitution of 2014 undertakes to raise to the «international level». To this end, the government has been reforming it since 2017, which is partly financed by a loan from the World Bank. The main directions of the reform include improving preschool education, improving the qualifications of teachers, changing the system of assessing students’ knowledge and strengthening the technical base of schools and colleges. Despite the first successes of pre-university education reform, it is still expanding mainly extensively, without significantly improving the quality of education of Egyptian students. The reason for this lies in the significant lack of public investment, which the government is trying to compensate by attracting private business, both national and international, to this area. However, this leads to increased inequality in access to education. In addition, even taking into account private investments, the amount of funding for pre-university education is still far from the 4% of GDP provided for by the Constitution. The main problems of pre-university education continue to be the unsatisfactory average level of qualification of Egyptian teachers, mainly due to their low wages, a large number of pupils in classes, as well as the weak material and technical base of schools and colleges. There are also significant differences in the territorial development of pre-university education in Egypt, as well as between its various stages and directions. Egyptian business continues to experience a shortage of qualified graduates of the secondary vocational education system, despite certain successes achieved in its development in recent years.

Teachers under Pressure? The influence of school size upon teacher job satisfaction in Dutch secondary education Teachers under Pressure? The influence of school size upon teacher job satisfaction in Dutch secondary education In the last decades, a visible and significant upscaling of educational organisations can be witnessed in nearly all Dutch educational sectors. The rise of large-scaled public service organisations is related with increased interest in the quality and 'humanity' of education. Many discussions about large scale education are connected with supposed problems concerning teacher work within schools. It is regularly taken for granted that scale expansion puts teaching staff under pressure, and it has become usual to blame school size for several problems (demotivated professionals, failing quality of education). However, these assumptions are highly controversial. The research of presented in this article intends to answer the question what influence school size has upon teacher job satisfaction in Dutch secondary education. Based on a secondary data-analysis and case study research, we demonstrate that the scale of educational organisations does not necessarily say a lot. In contrast with prevailing views about school size, working in large secondary schools does not by definition harm teacher job satisfaction. On the basis of these findings, we propose a more fine-tuned approach, which attends the organisational context of teachers' work and other factors which affect teacher job satisfaction.

Relevance. The article discusses the problems of the transition of universities to a distance learning format. The transfer of universities to a remote format due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus allowed students to continue to receive training, which varied significantly due to technologies, the choice of which was determined by the current capabilities of educational institutions. The article analyzes the result of a study of the attitude and assessment of teachers and students organizing and conducting training outside the educational institution with the use of distance technologies. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of teaching and learning in a distance format in higher education during the spread of a new coronavirus infection. The objectives of the study are to identify factors that have influenced the quality of the implementation of educational programs in full in the electronic information and educational environment. The results of the study. A serious influence of the distance learning format on the quality of the teacher-student interaction was revealed (it has significantly decreased), which is undoubtedly one of the factors that reduce studentsʼ motivation to learn. For many respondents, distance learning and teaching was the first experience of a distance learning format, and therefore the attitude towards it is rather complicated. A significant scatter in the format of the classes, their completeness and content within the framework of distance learning, the low proportion of the teaching staff prepared for its implementation, and the generally low level of technical, methodological and legal support show that the majority of Russian universities are not ready to introduce distance learning. The transition to an online training format caused the majority of respondents discomfort and negative emotional experiences.

The article is devoted to the formation of the Zemstvo’s pedagogical intelligentsia in Laishevsky district of Kazan province. Based on sources of personal origin and records of County self-government bodies, a comprehensive analysis of the personnel composition of Zemstvo’s primary schools was conducted. The author established the number of teachers, sources of their replenishment, the level of education, and also considered the socioeconomic situation of teachers. The teaching staff included law teachers, secular teachers, and assistants. Some former priests-teachers of Church schools also joined the work of Zemstvo’s educational institutions as experienced teachers. The available materials clearly show the evolution of the educational level of teachers in favor of specialists with secondary education. As a result, thanks to the Zemstvo’s school, a new social stratum of rural intelligentsia formed in the district, including people with secondary education. Measures taken by the Zemstvo’s to improve the working and living conditions of teachers are also shown. The principle of determining the amount of salary based on the number of students contradicted the principle of assigning salaries depending on the professional training and education of the teacher. It is concluded that despite the support of experienced and responsible teachers, the profession of a Zemstvo’s teacher remained unattractive, but at the same time women became teachers, which corresponded to the emancipation movement that was gaining momentum at that time.

The article actualizes the question of the quality of legal education in modern Russia, its relationship with the security of society and the state. Unlike the Russian Empire and the USSR, the quality of legal education in the Russian Federation is low. Three main problems of poor quality of education were noted: 1) to obtain a unified master's legal education without a basic bachelor's legal education, that is, people who do not have a first level are admitted to the second level of education; 2) a large number of non-core universities and non-state educational institutions that train lawyers in the absence of the required number of qualified teaching staff: 3) paid education in the specialties on which the life and destiny of a person depends, first of all, medicine and jurisprudence. The author also opposes the practice of providing certificates of non-conviction from the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The prohibition to engage in any activity can be fixed only in the law and only by a court decision.

For the first time, the activity of the weaving vocational school in the village Digtyari (modern Chernihiv region) is analyzed. It was the leading educational institution of the middle level of vocational education of the Ukrainian SSR in the second half of the 1920s, in which the creators of traditional textiles studied. The students learned the skills of making carpets, embroidered shirts, and kerchiefs. On the basis of archival sources, the histories, educational process, composition of the teaching and student groups of the school during 1926-1929 are covered. Established in the fall of 1926, the institution was to train qualified master practitioners for the factory and handicraft arts industry, who had formed an artistic taste. The teaching staff initially consisted of local general education teachers and visiting instructors and teachers of special subjects (O. Reisfeld and M. Dyachenko). The institution was headed by uneducated communists Yu. Kozelev and S. Lutayenko. The students of the first set were mostly non-locals, orphans. But the second set already consisted mostly of children of local peasants and artisans. The school had a significant material base, which remained from the textile educational institutions that operated in Digtyary during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The main rooms were located on the right-wing of the main building of the palace complex of the Galagan estate. As a result of the study of the materials of the minutes of the meetings of the school council, the conflict situations that constantly arose between the managers and their supporters and visiting specialists and led to the departure of the latter from Digtyary were analyzed. The initial stage of the existence of the Digtyari weaving professional school, problems in relations between staff, and the originality of the contingent of the first set of students influenced the quality of their training. As it is clear from the available sources, during the first and the beginning of the second school year students worked both theoretically and practically, but due to lack of raw materials they could not produce a significant amount of full-fledged products. The school’s workshop worked on “factory” and, in part, “peasant” raw materials. At the end of the second year of study, students were already making work suitable for sale. The school operated in two directions. The visiting instructor, an experienced artist M. Dyachenko brought a new vision of teaching graphic literacy into the educational process. Weaving and embroidery instructors who either graduated from the textile schools previously existing in Digtyary (A. Reisfeld, V. Nikolskaya) or worked there for a long time (G. Tsybuleva) broadcast local traditions. During the years under study, about 100 students studying at the institution, and one graduation took place. Troubles in the personal relationship between teachers and school management and insufficient funding have affected the quality of education. But even in such conditions, students not only mastered special and general education subjects but also participated in exhibitions, made marketable products, engaged in research work. Curricula developed by M. Dyachenko and O. Reisfeld became a model for other craft educational institutions. And the textbook was written by O. Reisfeld - the first Ukrainian-language textbook on the technology of folk weaving. Keywords: Digtyari weaving professional school, Mykhaylo Dyachenko, Pryluky region.
