Inherited from the Soviet period the network of children's artistic schools, which has always represented the cultural sphere, with the reform of social and economic spheres, including education, and the introduction in 2000 of the Law of Ukraine "On Extracurricular Education", was the element of school education institutions . In this regard, the system of primary artistic education began to lose its autonomy in the system of school education. The central executive body that carries out state administration directly initial artistic education at the national level is the Ministry for Culture of Ukraine. The functions of the Ministry for Culture for the management of primary education in arts have the character of regulation, because it does not involve direct interference in these schools, but only determine the mechanisms of management. In this case, all the regulations approved by the Ministry, based on the acts of the Ministry of Education, what is the "duality subordination" of the primary art education. One of the primary tools of management education in arts are special regulations the Ministry for Culture. Regulations on initial specialized art school (school aesthetic education), approved by the Ministry, is the basic document that defines the specific terms and conditions of artistic schools, including the organization of educational and artistic process, management institutions, financial and economic activities, etc. The second (middle) level in the hierarchy of management system of children's art schools have culture government regional level. Key features that directly affect the children's artistic schools are activities in the region related to the certification of these institutions and their teachers.

At the national level of government is characterized by duality, which is found in the interconnectedness of administrative decisions Ministry for Education and Science and the Ministry for Culture and due to the entry of primary art education to adult education system. At the highest level there is legislative and normative legal regulation, on the lower – apply direct control instruments – financial, logistical and staffing. In terms of reforming the socio-economic aspects of life, is the decentralization of management and increase the role of government community, which means the transfer of administrative functions in most places.
