Реферат: Education System In Honduras
The
Ministry of Education has been implementing a project intended to create a
national service of supervision and orientation of primary education which
helps to improve the performance of primary school teachers and the quality of
education at this level. Also there has been a significant reorientation of
in-service training programs for primary school teachers. Greater emphasis is
now placed on natural science and mathematics, hygiene, agriculture, artisan
activities, and home economics.
The
Ministry has also initiated the reorganization of secondary education to
conform with the new structure of the whole system. The basic idea of this
reorganization is to make the secondary education system more flexible,
internally dynamic and functionally oriented, and to help students integrate
themselves easily and productively into the economy. Also, the reorganization
of secondary education is intended to enable students to re-enter school in any
branch and on any level.
Significant
efforts are being made in the field of technical and vocational education to
increase its quality and responsiveness to the needs of industrial and
agricultural development. These efforts include revision of curriculum, teacher
and instructor training, research and improvement of educational materials, and
the expansion of existing institutions.
At
the same time in Ukraine there are new progressive trends in the system of
higher education. In many universities, the Bologna process is being
introduced. It’s influence on our higher education not evident yet, but in a
few years, when teachers and students will understand its essence and will get
used to it, it will bring the Ukrainian education closer to the European level.
There are still some points in our system of higher education that need to be
changed. First of all, Specialist’s degree, which is not recognized anywhere in
Europe or other advanced countries, has to be cancelled, and only Master’s
degree should be left instead. Then, Bachelor’s degree has to be accepted as
the first degree of higher education, as it is everywhere in the civilized
world. In general, the Ukrainian higher education needs to be relieved of the
remains of the Soviet education system, and then it will be possible to upgrade
it efficiently.
