Organizational and Educational Work at the Faculty

The organizational and educational work at the faculty is represented by the activities of the curatorial staff and the Student Council.

Curatorial work for teachers, as one educator said, is not just a job, but a special state of the soul; it is a life filled with numerous organizational, psychological, and social questions.

STUDENT-CENTEREDNESS is the foundation of educational work at the faculty. Therefore, students are the true subjects of the educational process, and student self-government is a unique opportunity to showcase organizational skills and achieve personal development. According to Tatyana Havyliuk, the chair of the Student Council:

“You do not become a leader by forcing people to do something. That’s violence, not leadership.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

This quote from the former U.S. president has become the motto of our Student Council. We believe that the desire to improve the faculty must come from the heart. And it does! We do not force anyone; our students are initiative-driven, independent, and active, always open to new and interesting experiences. Today, the Student Council, led by _____, a student from group ______, organizes and oversees the work of various committees, including the academic, labor, information, international programs, welfare and volunteer movement, artistic activity support, and physical and sports development committees.

Each committee has its own chairs and deputies—responsible and talented students:

• Chair of the Artistic Activity Support Committee: 
• Chair of the Welfare and Volunteer Movement Committee: 
• Chair of the Information Committee: 
• Chair of the Labor Committee: 
• Chair of the International Relations Committee: 
• Chair of the Academic Integrity Committee: 
• Chair of the Scientific Committee: 
• Chair of the Physical and Sports Development Committee:

Additionally, the faculty has a permanent student council led by ____________

Every week, the Student Council meets to discuss current issues. You can share all your suggestions, ideas, and challenges with us, and we will definitely find a solution!

At the Faculty of Education, numerous celebrations take place: Teacher's Day, Student's Day, Mother Language Day, International Women's Day, Faculty Birthday, and others. Here you can showcase your creativity, demonstrate your unparalleled talents, and make history. The attention of applied arts enthusiasts is always drawn to the interesting and diverse exhibitions of student creative works: embroidery, painting, graphics, crafts made from natural materials, samples of various weaving techniques, and more.

Various holidays are celebrated at the faculty: Teacher's Day, Defender of Ukraine Day, Student's Day, Mother Language Day, Faculty Birthday, and many others.

If you can sing or dance, you belong in our choir or dance group. Even if you think you are not capable of anything, believe me: the Faculty of Education will reveal your potential 100%!

Moreover, you can look forward to unforgettable memories from participating in the "Debut," "Young Wave," and trips to the Leader School on the shores of the Black Sea.

Don't miss these events; they are the emotions of your student years that you will never forget!

This year, we plan a multitude of events—various celebrations and volunteer activities. At the Faculty of Education, volunteering is highly regarded, as it takes a big heart and pure intentions to selflessly help others. You can also participate in Sports Day because, as they say, a healthy body means a healthy spirit. We are not only the smartest but also responsible for our physical well-being.

We invite all interested individuals to collaborate! Together, we can make our work even more effective. Together, we are a force that can overcome all obstacles! Forward, Faculty of Education, to new victories!

With the development of the faculty, new traditions have emerged, passed down from one graduating class to another. These traditions have been initiated by both students and faculty members, as well as the administration: such as the “Initiation into Students,” the student KVK (Club of the Funny and Inventive), the presentation “I Am a Freshman,” the “Club of Pedagogical Cinema,” and the competition for the best academic group. A good tradition in recent years has been the event “The Dean Has the Honor to Invite,” where students with the highest academic rankings, who have entered the top ten, are invited.

Social work, volunteer activities, artistic creativity, and sports are integral components in forming a well-rounded personality for modern educators.

Mentoring for teachers, as one of the teachers said - is not a job, but a special state of mind, a life that raises plenty of questions - organizational, psychological and social.

Nowadays, the student board (the President is the student of ____ group - _________) organizes and supervises the work of different committees (internal communications, academic, working, educational and international programs, support and volunteer movement, support of artistic activity, committee on physical and sports development).

Also at the Pedagogical Faculty there is a permanent council of prefects, headed by the student of______________. The council of prefects is a body of local self-government which acts as an intermediary between the students and the administration of the faculty. That is why we can distinguish the following basic tasks of the council of prefects:

-ensuring and protecting the rights and interests of students;

- ensuring that students perform their duties;

- promotion of educational, scientific and creative activities of students;

- control over the discipline of students, prompt response to its violation.

Every week there is a meeting of the council of prefects, which discusses current issues and problems, solutions to which are much easier to find together. Members of the council of prefects also actively work in groups, cooperate with mentors, organize the activities for student activist groups and always help first-year students.    

The creative personality of the future teacher at the faculty is formed by art groups

The crown jewel of the faculty was the choir, which in 2006 received the title of "Exemplary Art Group". Behind this is the hard work of the artistic director, Honored Worker of Education of Ukraine Roman Kozyan. The vocal at the faculty is represented by the ensemble "Tavrichanochka". The team is headed by creative nature - Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pedagogy of Preschool and Primary Education Alla Vladimirova.
