Formation of cartographic competencies in the process of geography study in general secondary education institutions

Abstract

The new Ukrainian school is a key reform of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The main goal is to create a school where it will be pleasant to study and which will give students not only knowledge of how it is happening now, but also the ability to apply them in life. Instead of memorizing facts and definitions, students will acquire subject competencies. Education of Ukraine today faces a twofold task: first, to form a comprehensively developed personality with a high level of intelligence and spirituality, with a modern innovative type of thinking; secondly, to bring up a conscious citizen - with a broad worldview and readiness for life.
