The paper highlights the first steps of the preschool education development in the 90s of the 20th century as well as its active development phase at the beginning of the 21st century: the development of variable programs, the Basic Component of Preschool Education, the Law of Ukraine “On Preschool Education”, the First Congress of Preschool Education. Scientific achievements in the field of higher preschool education, training of scientific and pedagogical staff are considered. Perspective directions for further modernization of the preschool education sector have been identified.
Highlights
The formation of the Ukrainian statehood, the development of its civil society, the integration of Ukraine into the world and European community provide an orientation primarily to the child on the principle of child-centeredness in the field of education
According to Ukrainian legislation, preschool education is a primary component of the system of continuing education
Ukraine is one of the few countries in the world where the obligatoriness of preschool education and its priority in the ideological and spiritual development and formation of the child’s personality is recognized at the state level. This is the position that Ukrainian society today is objectively ready to adopt a fundamentally new understanding of the status and role of preschool education in the further development of the general education system of Ukraine
Summary
The formation of the Ukrainian statehood, the development of its civil society, the integration of Ukraine into the world and European community provide an orientation primarily to the child on the principle of child-centeredness in the field of education. Ukraine is one of the few countries in the world where the obligatoriness of preschool education and its priority in the ideological and spiritual development and formation of the child’s personality is recognized at the state level. This is the position that Ukrainian society today is objectively ready to adopt a fundamentally new understanding of the status and role of preschool education in the further development of the general education system of Ukraine. The methodology of education outlined in modern state documents (National Strategy for Education Development in Ukraine for the period 20122021, Laws of Ukraine “On Education”, “On Secondary Education”, “On Preschool Education”, Basic Component of Preschool Education) gives priority to nationally conscious, socially developed, competently formed, independent, creative, proactive personality, ready for selfrealization and further life self-determination.
