Abstract
This note identifies major challenges
facing the Ukrainian education system and suggests policy
options for addressing them. It is intended to contribute to
the ongoing policy dialogue between the Ukrainian Government
and the World Bank about the key issues identified in
government education policy development and implementation
planning to date, and to offer the Bank's views on
these issues for the Government to consider as it elaborates
its reform program. The note's structure broadly
follows that of the government's policy document.
Section two outlines the political, economic, and social
environment. Section three identifies some of Ukraine's
strengths and comparative advantages in education, on which
future reform policy can build. Section four discusses
cross-cutting issues and challenges, including equity,
relevance, efficiency, and accountability. In section five,
the note provides recommendations for reform priorities and
some policy options for realizing them. Section six
identifies potential risks and threats that could hinder the
reform process and suggests way to mitigate them. Annex one
offer a brief overview of the education system, including
quantitative trends and some international comparisons.
Annex two provides a set of economic, demographic, and
educational data.
