THE CONCEPT OF HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR UKRAINE

摘要

Environmental problems of Ukraine and its historical, geographical, technological and economical roots are presented. One of the effective ways to mitigate these problems is creating appropriate educational training to prepare the qualified experts to solve the practical environmental problems of society and economy, such as air and water pollution, soil degradation, reducing of biodiversity, etc. However, certain difficulties must first be overcome. For example, the main weaknesses of Ukrainian Environmental Engineering Education (E3) in Ukraine are low motivation of students for studying and low employability of graduates. An overview of the E3 program in Ukraine and its relationship to the requirements of the environmental sector of the Ukrainian labor market are presented. The following measures are adopted from European Universities and the Bologna principles, which strengthen the links between universities and society: public, industries, private business, and the exchange by students in frames of European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and training teachers, commercialization and innovation university activities.
