The issue is relevant for many reasons, among which are: teachers' blurred understanding of the whole value education mechanism and its integral parts; learning outcomes at Ukraine comprehensive schools remain as priority; minor attention is paid to well-round education; extra curriculum activities in comparison to other democratic societies are artificial, as well as insufficient.
