Organizational and Legal Study and Implementation by Administrative Staff of Higher Education of Licensing Conditions for Educational Activities in Ukraine During COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Organizational and legal studies and implementation of licensing conditions and regulations on the conduct of educational activities in Ukraine during the pandemic at COVID-19 were carried out by administrative staff. The necessity of further improvement of the system of licensing of educational activity is substantiated. The expediency of maintaining the licensing of educational activities for each specialty at each level of higher education and the transition to licensing of educational activities only at the levels. An alternative to creating separate requirements for each specialty, which is more in line with the current Law on Higher Education, has been proposed. But this is problematic in terms of feasibility and, obviously, contradicts the course of deregulation and the practices that exist in the European Higher Education Area. Another alternative is the transition to licensing educational activities in the fields of knowledge. In the more (but not very) long-term perspective, more conceptual issues need to be addressed: where is the limit of appropriate state intervention in the activities of the Free Economic Zone; what exactly needs to be licensed; which requirements may be useful and which will only hinder the development of higher education institutions. Further organizational and legal research on the compliance of administrative staff with higher licensing conditions and regulations for educational activities in Ukraine during the pandemic at COVID-19 continues.
