Summary/Abstract: One of the main problems of modern Ukrainian society is the lack of political responsibility of officials and political education of citizens. Political education encourages people to acquire new knowledge and their participation in public affairs, to form responsible interaction and cooperation of citizens with the authorities. Democratic regime establishing and civil society building is impossible without participating in the process of political decisions-making of active and conscious citizens who are capable of realizing their rights and being responsible to the community and society for their actions. In order to be able to do this, the citizen must understand the social and political reality and the processes that take place in it. Political education is aimed at creating a critical mass of citizens who have comprehensive and reliable information about political reality, independently and critically form their own opinions and are ready for public activity. It acts as a vital element not only in the construction and establishment of a democratic civil state, but also in the development and effective functioning of all spheres of social life.
