The impact factor of Donetsk National University to the improvements of the Ukrainian educational system due to its participation in the European educational projects

Abstract

This paper attempts to analyse the weaknesses of the present Ukrainian Education System and show how Donetsk National University has used its very strong International links and projects to address these issues in the Donbas region. Through all its projects, DNU has experimented with the latest ideas from Europe. It was the first to establish a Reach out Centre and promote the Knowledge Triangle. It is the first to introduce EU Quality Assurance standards and processes. It is now creating Student Service Centres which will help to raise the Ukrainian Student experience to the level of their European counterparts. .It is hoped that its achievements are recognised by the Ministry of Education and Science, Ukraine who will promote these ideas throughout Ukraine.
