ENTWICKLUNGSTENDENZEN UND PROBLEME DER NICHTSTAATLICHEN HOCHSCHULEINRICHTUNGEN IN DER UKRAINE
DEVELOPING TRENDS AND PROBLEMS OF NON-STATE UNIVERSITIES IN UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: The title of the paper clearly defines its contents. Thus the author initially presents a rather brief history of non state Ukrainian universities, to indicate the most essential problems they have struggled with since their beginnings. Historically, two main periods are distinguished here: pre-communist and postcommunist ones. The beginnings of modern university education date back to the eighties. What made it possible was a complex set of political, legal, social, economic and cultural factors. The number of those schools grew quickly to 500. Most of them aiming at easy profits underwent staff, location and facility problems. Hence was a rather negative social response to them. The situation has become stable after 1996. By that time, stable legal grounds for this kind of education were formed. There are 188 non state universities in Ukraine now, which is 19% of all universities and colleges. 12% of all students learn there. The most popular faculties are economy, administration, computer studies, but also scholarly and social studies, demanding less financial input.
