Higher Education institutions have developed online information services and degrees as an echo of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) incidence in all society fields. Equal access to education is a fundamental right; but equal access to higher education for people with disabilities is far from being achieved yet. To this inequality has to be added the difficulty of some groups to participate in the information society, the so called infoexclusion. The short number of students with disabilities in higher education makes evident the presence of barriers for this people to get into this educational level. One of them is the low degree of accessibility to digital services and studies offered by the Universities, something that can be considered a new kind of segregation.

The Impact

Introduction. Currently, there are numerous discussions concerning a relevant issue – the impact of transformations of the higher education system on the quality of graduates of technical universities. It is important to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of modern higher education in construction in comparison with one of the Soviet period and to define the direction it should be developed in the future. The present article analyzes the changes that higher education in construction has undergone since 1955 to the present time. Materials and methods. The data used in the analysis include regulatory documents which regulated the implementation of educational activities in different years: orders, classifiers, model curricula and state educational standards. The requirements to the structure and results of the study of educational programs in the field of construction were analyzed. Results. The analysis showed that over the past decades, higher education in construction has undergone significant changes. Fundamental transformations took place at the turn of the millennium when changing from a disciplinary to a competence model of education, as well as from direct government management of the education system to the normative legal regulation of educational activities. If in Soviet times, training was delivered under model curricula of construction specialties, now training is mainly performed according to Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs, the content of which educational institutions determine independently on the basis of educational standards. Conclusions. The performed analysis identified the deficiencies in the modern system of higher education. The imperfection of the regulatory framework, the deficiencies of the competence approach make it impossible to ensure quality training of specialists in the construction industry. This involves improvement of higher education system, including in the field of construction. It is necessary to establish more detailed requirements to the study results and the content of educational programs. It requires among educational standards, exemplary basic educational programs.

Educational Potential

The article analyzes the problem of transition to a qualitatively new state of extracurricular education as an integral part of the entire education system in the process of education reform in Ukraine. The need to identify the role and place of extracurricular activities with enormous educational potential in the system architecture of education has been updated. Extra-curricular activities are considered as educational institutions that are tasked with creating the conditions for socialization, further self-realization and / or professional activity and civic development of children and young people, as well as organizing their meaningful leisure. Emphasis is placed on the accessibility and quality of extracurricular education in Ukraine and ways to improve it. In modern scientific and pedagogical research it is emphasized that the system of extracurricular education is unique in approaches to the organization of educational work, which determines its important place in the educational branch of Ukraine. As a separate socio-pedagogical phenomenon, it has been formed and developed in accordance with the specific socio-cultural, economic development of the country as a whole and regions in particular. Accessibility or equal access to education determines that no matter where the child is born - in a large city or small town or village - she is entitled to extracurricular education, to study in out-of-school educational institutions. In Ukraine, ensuring equal access to education, including extracurricular education, is one of the priority areas of public education policy. Further development of extracurricular education as an important component of the education system of Ukraine can be ensured only on condition of improving the quality of extracurricular education should be considered in organizational, technological, scientific, methodological and psychological-pedagogical aspects. It should also be noted that the process of improving the organizational and technological foundations of extracurricular education will be effective under the conditions of continuous support from the authorities. Thus, it should be emphasized that the realization of the educational potential of extracurricular educational institutions on the basis of modern psychological and pedagogical provisions and methodological bases of extracurricular education presupposes the presence of an appropriate legal framework, a system of scientific and methodological support, a modern material and technical base of the educational establishment; cooperation with other social institutions for the implementation of social functions of education, upbringing and socialization of children and youth and for improving such indicators of the effectiveness of the educational system of Ukraine as the quality and accessibility of extracurricular education. constant professional and creative interaction of scientists and practitioners with the support of state structures.

This paper investigates the University of Zululand Library’s response to the university’s inclusive education agenda with respect to the accessibility of library services to students with disabilities. This was a qualitative study within the interpretive paradigm that used Michael Oliver’s social model of disability as an underpinning theory. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from students with disabilities and library staff. In addition, physical inspection of the library building was also conducted. Data analysis was done by thematic analysis. The study reveals that the University of Zululand Library services are not inclusive. Students with disabilities struggle to access library services. They faced such challenges as inaccessibility of library services, unavailability of resources in alternative formats and assistive technologies, and the lack of a disability policy. The study also found that the library faced the following challenges in providing services for students with disabilities: limited funding, a lack of staff awareness and training, the lack of a disability policy and a lack of collaboration. Formulating regulations to enforce the implementation of disability policy and legislation, developing institutional disability policies, and providing assistive technologies are critical in ensuring the accessibility of library services to students with disabilities at the University of Zululand. Unless students with disabilities have equal access to information, the university’s inclusive education agenda will remain a distant dream. Access to academic library services is critical to the full participation of students with disabilities in education. Likewise, inclusive university education can only be realised when students with disabilities have equal access to information. This aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Convention on the Rights for Persons with Disabilities, which promote equal access to services and facilities to persons with disabilities. This paper raises awareness for both library staff and university management about the current status of library facilities and services with respect to accessibility for students with disabilities and how to address inclusiveness in library service provision.

Since its origin in the early 20th century, the modern synthesis theory of evolution has grown to represent the orthodox view on the process of organic evolution. It is a powerful and successful theory. Its defining features include the prominence it accords to genes in the explanation of development and inheritance, and the role of natural selection as the cause of adaptation. Since the advent of the 21st century, however, the modern synthesis has been subject to repeated and sustained challenges. In the last two decades, evolutionary biology has witnessed unprecedented growth in the understanding of those processes that underwrite the development of organisms and the inheritance of characters. The empirical advances usher in challenges to the conceptual foundations of evolutionary theory. Many current commentators charge that the new biology of the 21st century calls for a revision, extension, or wholesale rejection of the modern synthesis theory of evolution. Defenders of the modern synthesis maintain that the theory can accommodate the exciting new advances in biology, without forfeiting its central precepts. The original essays collected in this volume—by evolutionary biologists, philosophers of science, and historians of biology—survey and assess the various challenges to the modern synthesis arising from the new biology of the 21st century. Taken together, the essays cover a spectrum of views, from those that contend that the modern synthesis can rise to the challenges of the new biology, with little or no revision required, to those that call for the abandonment of the modern synthesis.
