Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the current legislation regulating the issues of ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language. Analyzed such basic legal acts as the Constitution of Ukraine and the Laws of Ukraine "On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language", "About Higher Education". It is determined, that the status of the Ukrainian language as a single state language in Ukraine is determined exclusively by the Constitution of Ukraine, and the procedure for the functioning and use of the state language is exclusively determined by law. The current legal acts contain gaps that are persistent.

Based on the results of the study, the author's vision of ways to regulate the imperfection of the mechanism of state power has been formed. Namely, it is proposed to supplement Article 10 of Section III of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as a State Language” with part 4 as follows: “as an alternative, the level of proficiency in the state language by persons, defined in the first and second parts of Article 9 of this Law, is certified by a document with Unified State Electronic Database on Education. This clarification in some cases will help simplify the mechanism for assessing the level of proficiency in the state language of military personnel serving in higher military educational institutions as scientific and pedagogical workers, as well as eliminate negative reactions from society regarding the failure to confirm the level of proficiency in the state language of persons applying for individual elective positions (Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine). After all, all citizens of Ukraine are equal before the Law and proper language skills are an integral part of professional competence, a guarantee of success in the profession, as well as an indicator of the general culture of the individual.

In addition, the article emphasizes that insufficient legal work and legal culture of local officials remain the problematic issues, faced by contract military personnel serving in the positions of scientific and pedagogical workers in institutions of higher military education. Therefore, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of legal awareness of both military personnel (under contract) in the security and defense sector and officials of public authorities is to strengthen the work in teams on the interpretation of legal norms and ways to implement them
