The article deals with the prospects of creating a new tool for collecting reliable statistical and administrative information on the development of education – the system of educational management indicators "Solid Info" for stimulating the development of education in Ukraine. The relevance of the study is also linked to its importance in providing up-to-date and objective educational statistics in the field of education when making informed decisions because inaccurate data can lead to mismanagement in the implementation of public education policies. In order to create a system of Solid Info indicators (i.e. reliable information that can be trusted), world experience in developing information support for education was analyzed, focusing in particular on studies by the OECD, UNESCO, the World Bank, etc. Proposals have been made for the structure of Solid Info indicators, namely to group them into five main modules containing information on students, teaching staff, material and technical support for the educational process, local financial resources allocated to the development of education in a certain area, and data concerning inclusive education. Thus, the above indicators will reflect the key characteristics of the state of the educational situation in the regions and the country as a whole, making it possible to quickly identify the problematic aspects of the educational network and to рrioritize the efforts of managers to promote education in the regions. Currently, one of the main priorities is to develop methodological approaches to the development of a system of educational management indicators to improve Ukraine’s educational policy, which should be based on appropriate information system (for example, software and hardware complex "Automated Information Complex of Educational Management" (SHC "AIСEM") that is administered by the SSI "Institute of Educational Analytics"). It was concluded that the system of educational management indicators Solid Info will contribute to increasing the level of informational validity of management decisions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and Departments of Education and Science of regional and Kyiv state administrations, as well as senior managers will be able to rank the achievements of local governments, monitor changes in indicators and identify trends relevant to governance at all levels (territorial community, district, region, country).

The current research aims to identify: - Self-confidence among students of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Noor University College. - The statistical relationship between the level of self-confidence and the achievement of the 25m free swimming test among students of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Noor University College. The researcher hypothesized: There is no significant statistically significant correlation between self-confidence and the completion of the 25-meter free-swimming test among students of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Noor University College. The researcher used the descriptive approach to suit the nature of the current research, and the research sample included first-year students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Noor University College, and the researcher used the statistical package (SPSS25) for statistical analysis. The researcher reached the following conclusions: - Students of the first stage in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences have an average level of self-confidence. - The relationship between self-confidence and the achievement test of 25 meters freestyle indicates that there is an inverse relationship between the two variables, meaning that with an increase in self-confidence, the time of completing a 25-meter free style swim decreases, and thus the achievement increases.

The article is devoted to the scientific and organizational activities of O. Prytsak in Ukraine after 1991. It was during this period against the background of favorable political circumstances that the scientist was able to come to Ukraine and begin his active work on the development of historical science in our country. The key directions to which the scientist’s activity was directed are considered. First of all, much attention is paid to the establishment of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as well as the revival of the journal “Eastern World”. In addition to the development of Oriental studies, O. Prytsak dealt with other issues concerning the development of historical science in Ukraine. He proposed to create the Department of Historiosophy at Kyiv State University named after Taras Shevchenko. At the historical faculty of this university O. Prytsak gave lectures on philosophy and methodology of history. During the study period, the scientist had repeatedly acted as a dissertation supervisor and was an official opponent in the defense of dissertations. In the personal archive of the scientist one may find reviews and responses to works on the history of Ukraine of the Middle Ages, the age of the Cossacks, the history of nomadic peoples of Asia, oriental linguistics, general linguistics, as well as political and cultural history. The article highlights O. Prytsak’s participation in the scientific events, in which he made reports that were the results of his research in the field of the Ukrainian history and oriental studies. As a result of the study, it was concluded that O. Prytsak made a great contribution to the revival of Oriental Studies in Ukraine, was active in establishing the Department of Historiosophy at Kyiv State University named after Taras Shevchenko, brought up a whole galaxy of students who are currently well-known and authoritative researchers both in Ukraine and abroad. The scientific activity of the scientist has received recognition all over the world, as evidenced by his numerous international awards and distinctions.

This article examines the legal issues of regulating the access of citizens of Ukraine to higher education of the third educational and scientific degree (doctor of philosophy) in the paradigm of international acts, the Constitution of Ukraine, the Laws of Ukraine, and Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in the field of education. This is related to the existence of certain legal conflicts in the education sector, which arose as a result of the ambiguity and imperfection of the legislation of Ukraine on education, which the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine uses to illegally restrict the access of citizens of Ukraine to higher education of the third educational and scientific degree. Taking into account the requirements of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the article presents the results of a study of the peculiarities of the application of the provisions of the relevant legislative acts in the field of education (with all changes and additions introduced as of September 1, 2024), namely the Law of Ukraine “On Education” (dated September 5, 2017, under No. 2145-VIII), the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (dated July 1, 2014, under No. 1556- VII) and the “Procedure for Training Candidates for Higher Education Degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Sciences in institutions of higher education (scientific institutions)”, approved by Resolution No. 261 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (dated March 23, 2016). At the same time, the research is mainly focused on the peculiarities of applying the above­mentioned legislative acts to determine the differences in the conditions of access to free and paid education and the established legitimacy and feasibility of certain elements of such conditions. Principally this concerns the introduction by the State of Ukraine of unified professional exams and other tests (with the use of external independent evaluation) as a condition for access to the next stage of tests, namely, entrance exams and other tests for admission to study introduced by higher education institutions of Ukraine. That is, the legality of establishing a two-level system of competitions and entrance tests for those who wish to obtain a higher education of the third educational and scientific degree (doctor of philosophy) on a paid basis (i.e., at their own expense or the expense of non-state grants and scholarships) is being considered. The article is the sixth one within the cycle of studies in which the peculiarities of access of Ukrainian citizens to higher education in martial law conditions are addressed.
