Today, Ukrainians are experiencing a difficult period of crisis with economic turmoil, political uncertainty, but even in these conditions the nation does not lose focus on hard work, knowledge, competence, education and understanding that the first and most important bread for young people is thorough education and educational institutions. possible to get. Speaking of predicting the future, Abram Lincoln said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." And in the creation of the future enlightenment of Ukrainians, the Pole Tadeusz Chatski in the west (Volyn) and the Ukrainian Vasyl Karazin in the east (Slobozhanshchyna), prominent scientists and educators of their time proved to be key figures. Schools, institutes, universities, academies of Ukraine were the fruit of these extraordinary personalities who determined the future of Ukrainian education. It is the duty of the descendants, regardless of their nationality, to honor the memory of these outstanding educators and scholars. They had an extremely deep understanding of the importance and significance of education and science. About the founders of significant educational institutions of the Ukrainian land 215 years ago, who were distinguished by wide education, entrepreneurship, high standards of moral culture, nobility of soul and it contributed to the development of Ukrainians and other national minorities of the Ukrainian land. The nobility, the gentry of the right-bank provinces and Slobozhanshchyna, organized by them, formed the financial basis for the activities of educational institutions in these regions of Ukraine for many years to come. Both educators sought to establish higher education institutions in their region - one thanks to the imperial decree (University of Kharkiv), the other - contrary to the latter (Volyn Lyceum in Kremenets). The higher educational establishments established by T. Chatsky and V. Karazin awaited a different fate: Kremenets Lyceum was soon abolished, and Kharkiv University continues to exist to this day. However, the mission of both benefactors should be the subject of careful scientific consideration as a positive experience to follow in the process of building a modern education system.
