Modern Requirements for the Training of Scientific Personnel in Environmental Specialties Within the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the current state of training scientific and academic staff by Ukrainian higher education institutions and research establishments during the special period of Ukraine’s gaining independence, in particular at the Institute of Agroecology and Environmental Management of NAAS.
It is emphasized that as early as 1999 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the Regu-lation on the training of academic and scientific staff, and starting from 2016 the training of aca-demic and scientific personnel in Ukraine has been reformed in accordance with the requirements of the Bologna Agreement.
The authors emphasize that ensuring a healthy lifestyle and quality education is one of the key goals of the UN Sustainable Development Summit and requires an integrated approach and the pro-vision of quality education that will foster the development of life competencies, strengthen health, and improve the quality of life of all members of society.
The functions of quality assurance in education are performed by the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance, which has gone through its own path of formation and reform and has incorporated in its activities the best practices of Western agencies, including lessons learned from correcting previous mistakes.
