Abstract

The article deals with the issue of legislative regulation of policy on the education of national minorities in Ukraine. It was determined that there are such problematic aspects in the legislation as the uncertainty of legal regulation, a contradiction of legal norms, and collisions between current rules and internationally accepted standards. It is noted that the primary element of the system of ensuring the education of representatives of national minorities is both international and domestic legislation. International and domestic legal acts in the field of education of national minorities have been reviewed and analyzed. It is noted that although the legislation of Ukraine largely corresponds to international acts, there is still a need to bring the domestic legislation into line with the international and European standards recognized and ratified by it. It is indicated that, in general, the national corresponds to the international and educational standards of national minorities, contains norms and guarantees of European provision of valuable understanding of the native language of national legislation, and, in a broad sense, legislators can find a balance between the national and psychological and cultural interests of these groups of Ukrainian citizens. A comparison with Ukraine's neighbouring countries regarding work with national minorities is given. Existing shortcomings in the educational system for representatives of national minorities are highlighted, which can be considered in more detail in the future. The ideological basis of the ethnopolitics of democratic states should be an optimal balance between national state interests and traditional cultural values of national minorities, which is primarily ensured through the sphere of education. Global transformational processes have strengthened the tendency to increase the number of representatives of national minorities due to such demographic processes as migration and refugees. Priority ways of solving problems in ensuring the educational needs of national minorities in the field of education in Ukraine are highlighted, namely: considering international, European, regional and national legal acts and bringing them into compliance; optimizing the functioning of public authorities; form a comprehensive structure of educational institutions at all levels; provide additional organizational and economic guarantees of educational rights.
