Adaptation conditions and features of teaching students from India in Ukrainian medical universities in the study of biological disciplines

Abstract

The study of medicine varies greatly throughout the world. The Indian education system is more similar to that of the anglo-saxon countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and Ireland. The biological sciences occupy an important position in studying as well as research activities in India. Instruction in General Biology starts at the primary school level when the schoolchildren begin to understand the main properties of living beings and their diversity around the world. Biology as a discipline constitutes a significant component of the science curriculum and is studied by all students till the middle school level. At the secondary school level biology becomes an independent subject. The process of specialization starts at the higher secondary level with a selection of future choices. Students who desire to prepare for a career in medical practice usually select biology as one of their subjects at the higher secondary level.
