Abstract

The author of the study, based on the analysis of the literature, determines the peculiarities of the formation of the system of state and public management of education in the times of the Ukrainian Central Rada. The study analyzed archival materials and identified the importance of the first Ukrainian teacher congresses as bodies of public education management. The role of political, public and non-governmental organizations such as the School Education Society in this process has been identified. The author of the publication proves that in the times of the Central Rada in Ukraine the first state body of education management was formed – the General Secretariat of Education. The principle of decentralization of management was based on the work of this state organization. The main purpose of the activity of this leading organization was not the administration, but the uniting of efforts of all national cultural and educational institutions of the Ukrainian People's Republic in the field of educational development. Particular attention was paid to ensuring the functioning of the school and to establishing a system of training of pedagogical staff. The study found that, on the initiative of the leadership of the leadership of the General Secretariat of Education the basic principles of state and public administration were developed and implemented, namely: approval of the collegial structure of governing organizations at all levels of its realization, granting of the territorial and city self-government wide rights for opening and managing educational institutions, wide powers of pedagogical councils, granting educational institutions autonomy, etc. Key words: Ukrainian Central Rada, Ukrainianization, teacher congress, General Secretariat of Education
