Abstract

Центральною ланкою будь-якої системи освіти можна вважати підготовку педагогічних кадрів, якість і рівень якої визначають перспективи розвитку освіти в країні.

Відтак, питання забезпечення рівного доступу не просто до освіти, а саме до якісної освіти є ключовим для розвитку не тільки освітньої галузі, а й усього суспільства.
