Challenges to the Education in the Law Enforcement Sector of Ukraine

Abstract

This article presents a number of the most common challenges to the education process in the law enforcement sector of Ukraine. Apart from the obvious reason such as war, which resulted in the loss of educational premises, forced displacement of the universities as well as the loss of personnel and students, English language teachers are facing the unprecedented loss of motivation in police cadets to learn foreign languages due to the provisions of the legislation of Ukraine in force, in particular, the engagement of translators/interpreters in the criminal proceedings at the pre-trial investigation stage. In spite of the reformation process in the educational sector connected with and based on NATO standards introduced in the teaching and learning processes, it is not always feasible to prove the students the obligatory nature of learning English or other foreign languages. Thus, foreign language teachers must overcome not only lack of motivation in students, but also implement higher standards of teaching in the educational process, which is not smooth either.
