Abstract

The paper on to explore how citizenship education is defined in the system of higher educational institutions in Great Britain and to describe some of the current activities designed to encourage the development of effective practice in this area. A number of key challenges are identified which need to be tackled if the latest policy proposals for citizenship education are to lead to effective practice in the system of higher educational institutions in Ukraine. The relevance of the Concept for the Development of Civic Education in Ukraine is pointed out. The paper builds on the previous studies of civic education, acknowledges the need for a new study, and is efforts to get answers to response to the challenge of educating young people in changed contexts of democracy and civic participation. It was noted that education played a crucial role in focused efforts to build and mould a nation, not only economically, but also culturally and psychologically. The most important goal of education is preparation of young people for their role as good citizens. Be important today, how universities and institutions of higher learning in any civilised society will contribute to and fulfil their role and perform to society’s expectations of them in terms of citizenship. It is apparent that, given the university sectors hugely significant role in both the production, management and application of knowledge and in educating the next generation of leaders, universities are critical to the mission of promoting globally informed citizenship. A key challenge for modern education system is to design curricula that connect academic with civic learning, enable students to understand the public purposes of their discipline and prepare students for lives as active citizens, responsible disciplinary practitioners, professionals and leaders. It is apparent that, space needs to be found within higher education curricula for the concept of citizenship and for civic engagement. Modern system of higher education has a responsibility to help students develop skills and attributes that promote civically engaged citizens. A topic for prospective research could be an analysis of how differences in social processes in Ukraine and abroad can affect the effectiveness of the implementation of civic education.
