«For each area - teamwork, specific tasks, and shared responsibility for the result. Quality of education. Right now, KSU is undergoing full accreditation of the Master's educational program «Public Administration and Management». For us, this is an important step in the development of the education quality assurance system. We are consciously minimizing the use of conditional accreditations, the possibility of which is provided for displaced universities. We choose full-scale independent assessment, as we strive not just to confirm compliance with standards, but to constantly improve the educational process. Digital transformation. We are working on a new module for controlling the quality of the educational process in an asynchronous (offline) format. This is especially relevant in conditions of power outages and unstable internet, when teachers and students cannot always interact in the digital space simultaneously. We are preparing to present for the first time a model that will allow for ensuring transparency and quality control of such learning. For us, digitalization is, first and foremost, the accessibility and quality of education under any circumstances», - noted KSU Rector Oleksandr Spivakovsky.

We remain Kherson State University, preserving our identity and connection with our native Kherson region. At the same time, we are actively integrating into the educational and social ecosystem of Prykarpattia, with which our lives have been connected for several years.
