Abstract

This article focuses on the critical issue of enhancing the educational process for national minorities in Ukraine by drawing upon the Romanian experience. An in-depth analysis of recent research and publications on this subject is conducted, along with an exploration of the existing problems within the educational process of national minorities in Ukraine. The primary objective of this article is to examine the potential of leveraging the Romanian experience to improve the educational process of national minorities in Ukraine.

To accomplish this goal, the article sets forth several tasks: analyzing Romania's experience in education for national minorities; identifying the main trends and issues within the Ukrainian education system for national minorities; and suggesting ways to enhance the educational process of national minorities in Ukraine by utilizing the Romanian experience. The scientific paper ultimately concludes that the adoption of the Romanian experience can significantly benefit the improvement of the educational process for national minorities in Ukraine. Key areas where the Romanian experience can be applied include native language teaching, raising the qualifications of teaching staff, creating the necessary infrastructure and material and technical base, developing support programs for national minorities, and more. By implementing these strategies, the educational process for national minorities in Ukraine can be enriched, providing better opportunities and outcomes for these communities. One significant aspect of the Romanian experience is its emphasis on native language teaching, which has been shown to foster a stronger connection to cultural heritage and improve overall educational outcomes. By applying these methods in Ukraine, the educational process for national minorities could be enhanced, helping students to better understand their cultural identity and promoting social cohesion.

Moreover, the Romanian experience highlights the importance of investing in the professional development of teaching staff, ensuring that educators have the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach diverse student populations. By raising the qualifications of teaching staff in Ukraine, the educational process for national minorities can be significantly improved. Creating the necessary infrastructure and material and technical base is another crucial aspect of the Romanian experience that can be applied in Ukraine. By developing and maintaining appropriate facilities and resources, the educational process for national minorities can be better supported, ensuring that students have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed. Additionally, the development of support programs tailored to the specific needs of national minorities is vital. By implementing such programs, the educational process for national minorities in Ukraine can be further strengthened, enabling these communities to thrive and contribute to the overall success of the country.

In conclusion, the Romanian experience provides valuable insights and strategies that can be employed to improve the educational process for national minorities in Ukraine. By focusing on native language teaching, raising the qualifications of teaching staff, creating the necessary infrastructure and material and technical base, and developing support programs for national minorities, Ukraine can work towards providing an inclusive and effective education system for all its citizens.
