Postgraduate Pedagogical Education in Ukraine

Abstract

The paper outlines the history of the teaching staff’s further development in Ukraine as an independent state and as a republic within the USSR. It compares the two models of the postgraduate pedagogical education system with particular focus on the new changes brought about by the new Law of Ukraine “On Education” of 2017 ensuring diversification of postgraduate pedagogical education and allowing its development in the context of globalization trends. The paper also observes the evolution of institutions providing further training for the teaching staff and looks into the new mechanisms for its financing. It singles out the pressing problems the Ukrainian state is facing and struggling to solve.
