ROLA PRUSKIEGO MODELU NAUCZANIA W POLSKIM I UKRAIŃSKIM SYSTEMIE EDUKACYJNYM
THE ROLE OF THE PRUSSIAN TEACHING MODEL IN THE POLISH AND UKRAINIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is a critical comparative analysis of the Prussian model of education in the Polish and Ukrainian educational systems in the 20th century. It should be emphasized that both countries at that time had undemocratic systems of government. In the case of Ukraine, this was the totalitarian system of the Soviet Union in the eastern part of the country before World War II and the authoritarian rule of the Second Polish Republic in the western borderlands of the Republic. However, from 1939, the entire territory of Ukraine was already part of the Soviet Union. Poland, on the other hand, became a political and economic satellite of the Soviet Union with an undemocratic form of government after World War II. The aforementioned Prussian model of education fits well within an undemocratic system of governance. This is because it allows the state to shape the mentality of the younger generation. In this article, the author provides a comparative analysis of many aspects of the functioning of the Prussian model of education in the People's Republic of Poland and Soviet Ukraine. It will also present the reforms of the education system in both countries after the fall of the communist system.
