"Studendum vero et semper ubigue" - you need to study always and everywhere - a rather clear and catchy phrase that inclines today's youth to give preference to such a goal in life as obtaining an education and, if possible, a higher education. It is about the fact that at the current stage of the development of Ukrainian society, without excluding the events of today, which make certain corrections and force us to plan our future more deeply and thoroughly, the issue of education and obtaining a certain type of education is one of the priorities of preserving the cultural component of our people.

On this issue at the legislative level, our independent and free state adopted a number of normative legal acts, in particular laws, both on education and on the process of obtaining it, but at present this process has not stopped and continues rapidly.

Thus, first of all, let's turn to the primary source of the educational process, namely the law of Ukraine "On Education", where it should be noted the close, constant connection between culture and education, which is reflected in the "goal". Thus, the goal of education is the comprehensive development of a person as an individual and the highest value of society, his talents, intellectual, creative and physical abilities, the formation of values and competencies necessary for successful self-realization, the education of responsible citizens who are capable of conscious social choice and directing their activities for the benefit of others people and society, enrichment on this basis of the intellectual, economic, creative, cultural potential of the Ukrainian people, raising the educational level of citizens in order to ensure the sustainable development of Ukraine and its European choice [1].

It is at this time, in today's conditions, that attention should be paid to the relevance of the state gender and national education policy to ensure gender equality as an activity of state institutions aimed at realizing and guaranteeing equal rights, freedoms and opportunities for women and men, and establishing gender democracy.

Thus, the gender approach is focused on the formation and establishment of equal, gender-independent opportunities for human self-realization in all spheres of life [2]. Education is not an exception to this, because gender equality in the educational process occupies a central place in order to comply with this direction. Article 21 "Ensuring equal rights and opportunities of women and men in education and professional training" of the Law of Ukraine "On ensuring equal rights and opportunities of women and men" directly obliges educational institutions to create equal conditions for women and men when entering educational institutions , assessment of knowledge, provision of grants, loans to students; preparation and publication of textbooks, educational aids, free from stereotypical ideas about the role of women and men; fostering a culture of gender equality, equal distribution of professional and family responsibilities [3].

In particular, the embodiment of the state policy regarding the implementation of the gender approach in Ukrainian society is, first of all, the basic law - the Constitution of Ukraine, so Art. 24 of which proclaims the equality of the rights of women and men [4], as well as a number of accompanying laws - Laws of Ukraine "On ensuring equal rights and opportunities of women and men", "On principles of prevention and counteraction of discrimination in Ukraine", "On prevention and counteraction of domestic violence", "On combating human trafficking".

As you know, our country has introduced annual reports of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on human rights on the state of observance of human and citizen rights and freedoms. It is natural that the problems of education, high-quality training, work, combining motherhood and career growth, overcoming violence, involving women in the processes of making certain decisions become goals, so to speak, of the first level, which perform an instrumental role in a global sense, as stepping stones to the global goal of reducing and overcoming poverty, improving living conditions, creating conditions for the comprehensive development of the human personality in the conditions of a democratic society.

All the mentioned areas of educational direction and the introduction of gender policy in the existence of Ukrainian society as a whole will provide a positive result for several decades, because like any large-scale direction of this type, this direction needs to be first of all reflected at the level of genetic information, a kind of component of the mentality of Ukrainians, which are best rooted for a long time.

Thus, at present, on the territory of the state, we have a number of current regulatory and legal acts of various directions, in particular, aimed at increasing the level of education of Ukrainians, among which the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated December 20, 2022 No. 1163 was one of the last in the specified list. -r "On the approval of the Strategy for the implementation of gender equality in the field of education until 2030 and the approval of the operational plan of measures for 2022-2024 for its implementation", according to which the implementation of the principle of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men in the field of education should be carried out in accordance with the concepts, programs, plans developed by the central bodies of executive power, with the involvement of leading scientists, independent experts, taking into account international experience [5].

Based on the above information, we come to the conclusion that integration into the European community requires a significant restructuring of all social institutions and processes on new, democratic principles, free from any form of discrimination, particularly on the basis of gender. This is the policy of the member states of the European Union, which have declared gender mainstreaming policy as a systemic strategy for creating equal opportunities for women and men, overcoming the asymmetry of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men, and discrimination based on gender as one of the main means of democratizing society. gender in all spheres of society's life. That is why, in the context of the European direction of the development of Ukrainian society, the implementation of the principles of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men in the field of education is of particular importance [5].
