Challenges. Administrative decentralization of HEIs Challenges. Administrative decentralization of HEIs and the dual system of educationand the dual system of education

To improve the quality of specialists training it is necessary to conduct such activities:

1. Co-writing of monographs and textbooks

2. Double degree programs

3. Use of partners’ information resources

4. Internships of teachers and exchange education of students

5. Conduction of joint scientific researches

Nowadays in Ukraine the degree of centralization of power at university is big enough.

Public private partnerships with business and the dual system of education are worth discussing.
