PECULIARITIES OF TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF CADETS OF MARITIME UNIVERSITIES IN THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS | Особенности обучения и воспитания курсантов морских ВУЗов в постсоветских республиках

On the basis of the analysis of documents, publications of scientists and periodical materials we considered particular training and education of cadets and students of maritime educational institutions in the post-Soviet republics. The acquisition of independence by the former Soviet republics demanded the creation and strengthening of their own statehood. The most important task for the newly independent states was the establishment of an effective system of higher professional education (HPE), for the purpose of training national personnel for its own economy. One of the components of HPE for each republic is marine colleges. Establishment of Maritime Universities in those young states has been performed, in a rather short period. The most characteristic of them is a reorientation of the teaching factor of educational activities in the international and European standards. Now the system of training in marine universities meet the requirements of the International Convection on Training and Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers, as amended, and other international conventions, which gives graduates the right to work on all types of vessels of domestic and foreign shipping companies. Nevertheless, for the process of educating and education of future naval professionals some problems are peculiar related to the lacks of the special and educational literature on national languages, by the shortage of the prepared teachers with experience of swimming on the courts of marine transport, sufficient financing. In educator work with students of marine institutions of higher education, a course is taken on forming patriotism for them, tolerance, volunteering, nationally spiritual values. Practically for every former soviet republic in patriotic education of students it is peculiar to have a specific system, features, but at the same time there are general lines: system, orientation on national traditions, close connection with a defensive capacity and forming of readiness to defend freedom and independence
