Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: “The Idea of the Rebirth of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Came to Me a Year Before the Breakup of the USSR...”
Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: “The Idea of the Rebirth of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Came to Me a Year before the Breakup of the USSR...” Conducted by: Volodymyr Panchenko Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 2 (2015): 1–10 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: “The Idea of the Rebirth of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Came to Me a Year before the Breakup of the USSR…” A Conversation with Viacheslav Briukhovetsky, the Honorary President of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Volodymyr Panchenko: Our readers, I think, will be interested in finding out about the historical phenomenon of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and its beginnings. What does this phenomenon consist of? Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: We should begin with the fact that like most universities of the time, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (KMA) had its beginnings as a school. Such was the case with Oxford and most other prominent universities that also had their beginnings as small schools. The school from which the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy emerged was the Bratsk [Brotherhood] Orthodox School of the Bratsk Monastery. Its founder was Halshka Hulevychivna, who did not form the school’s academic concept, but provided land and buildings for the school (including her own domicile). The first rector was Iov Boretsky, who mapped the ideology of the school. It is more than likely that the Bratsk School was not founded in 1615. Information exists (unfortunately, no documents survive) that this could have happened in 1585. But the first documented date is 1615. In 1632 Petro Mohyla united the Bratsk and Lavra monastery schools 2 Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 2 (2015) and set the principle that the new school was not to be just an Orthodox school, but a school modelled on European Jesuit schools, those schools that the new school was to polemicize with. -

On Higher Education,” Reforms, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
Higher Education in Ukraine in the Time of Independence: Between Brownian Motion and Revolutionary Reform Author(s): Serhiy Kvit Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 7 (2020): 141–159 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ Higher Education in Ukraine in the Time of Independence: Between Brownian Motion and Revolutionary Reform Serhiy Kvit National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance; National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Mohyla School of Journalism Abstract The article explores major milestones in reforming higher education in Ukraine, applying the methodology of case studies. It analyzes political and social conditions that influenced the process of reform. The author pays particular attention to the concept of university autonomy, its development and implementation in Ukraine, considering legal and institutional efforts. The impact and experience of some leading institutions like Kyiv-Mohyla Academy is discussed. The author concludes that the task of ensuring comprehensive university autonomy is of a political nature. This is the only reliable instrument for raising of quality of Ukrainian higher education. Key Words: University autonomy, quality assurance, Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education,” reforms, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. 3 The goal of this article is to identify major milestones and relationships between the main tasks involved in reforming Ukrainian higher education. Such a task can be accomplished on the condition that one understands the nature and process of reforms. On the one hand, I am called upon as a scholar to conditionally maintain an “objective” position. However, I have persistently been a participant of events, so my view is somewhat biased by my position within the process, rather than that of an outside observer. -
Political Responses to Worker Dissent in Ukraine During the Financial Crisis
Eduard Klein emecon 1/2014, www.emecon.eu/Klein Employment and economy in Central and Eastern Europe emecon.eu Post-Soviet anti-corruption reforms in higher education: Explaining the success of external independent testing in Ukraine Eduard Klein Corruption during university admission has become an endemic phenomenon in many post-Soviet states. In the last decade, most countries in the region reformed their admission system and implemented external exams to combat corruption and provide equal access to qualitative education. Ukraine introduced its External Independent Testing (EIT) in 2008. Despite a non-favourable socio-political context, experts and the majority of citizens regard the EIT as one of the most successful reforms in Ukraine. How can this positive outcome be explained? The paper argues that in addition to the distinctive political will of key stakeholders and the involvement of domestic NGOs in the reform implementation, external democracy promotion programs which fostered capacity building were a decisive factor for the success. To prove this claim, the article traces the reform process, focusing on the impact of the main external actors. Key words: Anti-Corruption, higher education, civil-society advocacy, external assessment, external democracy promotion, Ukraine. Introduction The collapse of communism and, as a consequence, the complex systematic transformation of the political, economic and societal sphere in the post-Soviet world had an enormous impact on the higher educational systems in the successor countries. The Soviet education system, characterized by, among other things, an ideological orientation towards “real existing socialism”, centralisation, tight state control under the ministries, a strong hierarchy, political cadre demand, priority placed on technical disciplines (Mühle 1995), had to be radically reformed and transformed into an internationally competitive and market-oriented higher education sector. -
