Анотація

The article identifies the potential for improving the educational sphere within the Lviv agglomeration through enhanced cooperation between territorial communities. Areas of dissatisfaction with the quality of education among residents of the studied communities are outlined. The key challenges faced by these communities, particularly concerning educational accessibility, economic efficiency, and qualified staffing that can be addressed by collaboration are discussed in the article. The need for strategic partnerships across municipal boundaries is increasingly important. By pooling resources, sharing knowledge, and coordinating efforts, communities can achieve a higher standard of education that benefits all stakeholders. The quantitative and qualitative indicators of the development of the educational sphere in the communities of the Lviv agglomeration are analyzed in the article. They confirm the uneven access to quality educational services. The first major issue explored is the accessibility of education. The article outlines the disparities in access to education across different parts of the Lviv agglomeration, especially between urban centers and rural areas. It highlights the uneven distribution of schools, particularly high-quality educational institutions, which causes an imbalance in the level of students’ knowledge. The study suggests that through coordinated inter-community efforts, such as joint education centers and shared digital education platforms, students from underserved areas could gain better access to schooling, ensuring equal learning opportunities across the region. Economic efficiency is another central theme of the article. By working together, communities can share infrastructure, optimize spending, and even co-invest in large-scale educational projects. This kind of collaborative financial management could result in better outcomes without increasing the financial burden on individual communities. The article also addresses the persistent issue of qualified teachers, which is a challenge in many smaller communities. By fostering collaboration between municipalities, a solution can be found in the form of shared staffing programs, professional development initiatives, and collective recruitment efforts. This could create a more flexible and mobile workforce, allowing qualified educators to work across multiple jurisdictions, thus improving the overall quality of education. Particular attention in the article is focused on the coordination of efforts at the institutional level and the creation of a coordination council to assess the cooperation potential of Lviv agglomeration communities. The article suggests involving all participants of the educational process from each community.
