Education Work Force in Ukraine

Location: Ukraine Crisis Media Center, 2 Khreschatyk Street (Ukrainian House/European Square), Kyiv, Ukraine
Come and share your views with Ukrainian, American and European university and school administrators, mid-level managers, assistants, teachers, parents, and students. Come and meet business management experts, HR specialists and lawyers who will offer new, legal methods in running successful and stress-free institutions. Help us produce a list of recommendations that can improve work environments and inspire educators to offer top quality education in Ukraine.
Working Language: English, Ukrainian, Russian
========================================================
Have you ever been humiliated by your boss at a staff meeting? Have you ever been threatened with termination if you don’t do what your boss tells you to do?
Has your boss ever taken credit for your work?
What about managers? What can you do if your staff is not performing up to par? How can you eliminate gossip at the work place? What can you do if your staff is abusing your sick day policy?
Ethics: Is the practice of bribe-taking preventing deserving employees from advancing? Are you being bribed to give good grades to students or are teachers afraid to give low grades because they fear they could lose their jobs? Are university pressures related to getting financial support from the state unfairly placed on teachers’ shoulders?
Who can you turn to if you are being harassed? Is quitting the only option?
Do employees and managers know their legal rights?
Finally, how important is respect in the office? Is getting praised for your work important? Are all players in the education sphere working toward a common goal or are teachers and administrators working at cross purposes?
These and other relevant topics will be discussed at this very important round table discussion. We invite administrators, teachers, parents, students, lawyers and business management and HR experts to join us. Several top experts in the field of HR and law will be available for consultation. At the end of our discussion we hope to create a list of recommendations.
The event will be moderated by Christine Demkowych, a Fulbright Scholar in 2008 and 2009, who taught at Zaporizhia National University as part of her Fulbright grant. In 2009 she also conducted national-level quantitative research on Student Attitudes Toward the Bologna Process of Education in Ukraine. Ms. Demkowych was an Adjunct Professor at Towson University and the recipient of an Excellence in Teaching Grant from the Higher Education Support Program through the Open Society Institute, where junior-level university faculty from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe participated in seminars for two years. Ms. Demkowych also founded and ran for nine years Ukraine’s first independent English-language news service, IntelNews, which was sold to new owners in 1999.
Ms. Demkowych was a correspondent for the NYTs in Ukraine and an analyst for CBS Radio. She has written for The Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun, the Chicago Tribune and other publications. Ms. Demkowych is currently in Ukraine conducting research on Reforming the Education System in Ukraine.
