FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY

The knowledge of a foreign language is an important part of education. A person cannot be considered truly educated, if he knows only one language. Nevertheless, the importance of learning foreign languages is often underestimated.

English is one of the most commonly used languages in international communication. Some English speakers are mistakenly arguing that it is unimportant for them to know another language for communicative purposes. They think that everyone else should know English. But there are still millions of people who do not speak English, and many of these people have limited educational opportunities. If English speakers do not make an effort to learn to communicate in other languages, they should not expect others to gain the knowledge of English.

If there is to be world peace, the people of the world must understand each other. Communication is necessary to that understanding, but people cannot communicate if they do not speak the same language.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

The, basic idea of the mo­dern school is implementation of the principle of combining education with productive work, linking school and life, and com­bination of general, polytechnic and vocational education in the secondary school. The major task of vocational and technical education of young people is to train cultured and technically qualified workers for all branches of the national economy. At the age of 15—16, all young people should engage in socially useful labour within their powers and all their further education should be associated with productive labour in the national economy. A well-balanced plan of the humanities and of polytechnic education will enable young people to make a correct choice of a career.

Polytechnic education gives the pupil an idea of what the key branches of modern industry and agriculture are. It gives him or her proficiency in a trade or profession. At lessons the pupil learns how the laws of natural and mathematical sciences are applied to modern production. In the school workshops the pupils master various operations and acquire labour habits, learn to know the technologi­cal properties of materials, the structure and use of certain hand and machine tools. During the excursions to industrial and agricultural enterprises the pupils observe various production processes. In rural schools the children acquire a basic know­ledge of plant-growing, stock-breeding and selection. They are also taught how to handle agricultural machines. Practice work on plots of land is included in the general syllabus of all rural schools.
