Challenges and perspectives of public administration of education development in rural territorial communities

Abstract

The article is devoted to finding ways to improve public administration of education development in rural territorial communities. As part of this, a study of the reforming steps of the education system in Ukraine, the reorganization of the educational network, the processes of decentralization, acute problems in the educational sphere, the possibilities of the post-war recovery of Ukraine, including the educational component, strategies and models of the region's development in the context of focusing on rural territorial communities, specific characteristics of the development of educational processes in rural areas was implemented.. It was determined that the main goal of reforming the education system in Ukraine is to increase its competitiveness and integration into the single European educational space. Among the acute problems, the damage and destruction of the educational infrastructure, the decrease in the availability of education and, as a result, the decrease in its quality in general, the decrease in the personnel potential in education, especially in rural areas, forced resettlement of teachers and students with their families to other regions of Ukraine and countries of the world where they feel safe, and the threat of their non-return were noted. The main emphasis in the study is shifted to the problem of internally displaced persons from the perspective of scale, both in terms of numbers and territory, since displaced persons have settled unevenly throughout the country. A hypothesis was formed that if this problem is not solved today, serious challenges may arise for Ukrainian society in the future, which will cause social imbalances. As a result, the prospects for further research regarding the existing problem and the situational approach to its solution based on a client-oriented approach, which is expressed in the proposals presented in this article, are proposed. In particular, it is proposed to carry out client-oriented public administration based on the principle of people-centeredness, where a resident of a rural area will become the main creator of further improvement of public administration of the development of education in rural territorial communities, in order to preserve and increase the human factor in the village.
