Abstract

Problem setting. Significant changes in various spheres of life and development of our country influence the updating, reforming and modernization of the national higher education system, which aims at improving the quality of the provision of educational services. In turn, the existing system of military education in Ukraine is integrated with the general state system of education and operates on the basis of the current legislative and regulatory framework. etc. Recent research and publications analysis. Conceptual principles of formation of the national education system in the context of European integration of Ukraine are represented by the works of A. Boyko, M. Kultayeva, M. Trinyak, V. Shinkaruk and others. Scientists insist that there should be a single mechanism for the modern modernization of the national higher education system and military education in particular. Theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of national military education, the problems of its modernization and reformation, the quality of training of military specialists, the introduction into the educational process of innovative technologies and modern teaching and training practices are considered in the studies of such scholars as Kvitkin P, V. Osodlo, V. Telelim, and others. Paper objective. The purpose of the article is to philosophically analyze and highlight the main aspects of modernizing and reforming the national military education system. Paper main body. First of all, reforming is bringing the political, financial, economic and public institutions of the state into conformity with some "generally recognized norms", such as those of the European Union, for example. At the same time, modernization is the bringing of various spheres of life, and in particular the education of the country into a competitive state in accordance with the requirements of the present. Reformation can be considered a necessary prerequisite for modernization. And modernization, therefore, is a natural consequence of reform. Under the circumstances of the current challenges that present-day Ukraine faces and the armed conflict in the East, the issues of reforming and modernizing the content of the national higher education system become especially urgent. This is a complex, important task. It includes various aspects: modernization of the educational management system, the combination of education and science, etc. The main components of the military education system are: education management bodies; a network of military education institutions. We suppose that the urgent need for modernization shifts in military education institutions is the conceptual change in all activities. Conclusions of the research. At the present stage of development of power and special structures of the state there is a significant change in the requirements of society for the competencies that a military specialist should possess, and thus the requirements for filling the content of the national education system and the military education system in particular are changing. All this leads to the updating and the process of reforming and modernizing the national education and military education system as interconnected phenomena. All the above mentioned is due to the needs of practice, the complication of our country's military-political situation, the Euro-Atlantic vector of our country's integration, and other challenges of today.
