Abstract

The article analyzes the problems of establishing the Ukrainian language as a state one in the conditions of development of an independent Ukraine. Asset 7 of the new Law of Ukraine "On Education" led to the deterioration of good- neighborly relations with Hungary, Moldova, Romania and other countries. It is grounded that asset 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Education" does not protect fully the Ukrainian language, and not create the necessary conditions for its unceasing development. At the same time, this article does not prohibit the development of languages of national minorities and indigenous people. In this wording, this article will not solve the main task concerning the Ukrainian language as a state one: every citizen of Ukraine should know and use the state language.

In addition, the article substantiates that the child will be intellectually developed only in his or her native language. For this purpose, we use the researches of prominent Ukrainian educators I.Ohienko, K.Ushinsky, V.Sukhomlynsky, and the eminent Ukrainian historian M.Hrushevsky.
