The article clarifies the essence of moral and ethical culture and identifies the most effective forms and methods of its cultivation in future teachers in the educational process of higher education institutions in both Ukraine and the United Kingdom. It has been established that moral and ethical culture is an integrated quality of the personality of a future teacher and develops in the course of constantly solving pedagogical tasks related to the moral and ethical education of schoolchildren. The education and further development of the moral and ethical culture of future teachers is carried out in the process of their active participation in professional activities. We define the moral and ethical culture of future teachers as a system of moral and cultural values, value orientations and moral norms. It has been established that the process of educating future teachers in moral and ethical culture combines both traditional and interactive methods. Among the leading forms and methods of fostering moral and ethical culture in future teachers in higher education institutions in Ukraine are: organising thematic research and role-playing games; brainstorming; jointly developing codes of ethics for analysing complex situations; conducting dialogue; modelling ethical behaviour; conducting classroom sessions using interactive teaching methods; developing a personal ‘Teacher's Code of Ethics’ through joint exercises; encouraging future teachers to reflect on their professional roles, responsibilities and the ethical consequences of their actions; providing examples of ethical behaviour; encouraging group discussions to generate ideas and resolve ethical situations; involving students in small group work to promote dialogue and interaction; analysis of educational videos by students to identify violations of ethical standards, and some others. It has been established that, unlike Ukraine, the United Kingdom pays special attention to the ethical education of teachers. The forms and methods of moral and ethical culture education of future teachers in Ukraine and the United Kingdom have been compared. Obstacles that hinder the effective organisation of ethical education for future teachers in the United Kingdom have also been identified.

The relevance of the research topic. Today, video advertising is one of the most effective tools for the interaction of higher education institutions with prospective students. Digitalization of society and shift in communication priorities necessitate the adaptation of educational institutions to competitive conditions. Innovative technologies foster a dynamic, interactive, and emotionally engaging emphasis in video advertising, helping build trust among the target audience in the educational institution. Research on this topic is crucial for improving advertising strategies, recognizing the role of cutting-edge technologies in expanding access to education, shaping a positive image of higher education institutions, and fostering public trust in them.

Based on the trends in the development and spread of social networks in public life, it is undeniable that the use of the advantages of these platforms has a positive effect on the marketing of any business and, in particular, higher education institutions. The development of an effective strategy for higher education institutions allows solving a series of important tasks, with which other tools, due to their origin and mechanism of influence, may not work so effectively. Formation of an effective marketing strategy in social networks by higher education institutions brings them closer to the target audience and stakeholders, makes them more open to society, allows flexible response to requests, etc. The effectiveness of the SMM strategy depends no less on the correct choice of a particular social network by a higher education institution. Knowledge of the advantages of the target audiences, the digital behavior of stakeholders' representatives, and their expectations allow the institution to gain additional competitive advantages. The results of marketing studies of practical activities of higher education institutions in Ukraine in the marketing of social networks allow to predict their development and identify priority development areas. According to them, YouTube and Instagram are the most popular social networks chosen by domestic higher education institutions in Ukraine. However, the very development of social networks and the loyalty of different target groups to different social networks inclines the leadership of domestic higher education institutions to conduct targeted activities in other social networks, in particular in TikTok and Telegram. According to the purpose and the chosen social network, the communication strategy of the higher education institution is being formed. According to the results of the research of the sites of domestic higher education institutions, a number of problems and their causes are revealed. The article proposes an algorithm for the development and implementation of the SMM strategy by domestic educational institutions and provides practical recommendations for communication and interaction with potential applicants in social networks.

The objective of the research was to test the effectiveness of the fitness program «WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFE». Indicators of morphofunctional and physical condition of students during quarantine restrictions were studied. The total number of respondents was 926 students (474 girls and 452 boys) from four higher education institutions in Ukraine. To implement the fitness program, the authors developed a model of physical education of students for the period of distance learning. To obtain the necessary information, we used general scientific research methods, namely: analysis of scientific and methodological sources, pedagogical modeling, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical observation, research methods of functional and physical condition of students, expert evaluation method, mathematical statistics methods, SWOT analysis. Five tests characterizing morphofunctional indicators were selected by the method of expert assessment (Stange test; Genchi test; body mass index; Ruffier-Dickson’s index; Harvard step test) and seven tests that characterize the indicators of physical development of students (exercises for arm strength; exercise for dexterity, exercise for speed; exercise for the development of abs; exercise for endurance, standing long-jump, Burpie’s test). The experimental research showed that out of five tests that characterize the level of development of morphofunctional signs of the body’s activity, the girls had improvement in four and the boys in three indicators. Other morphofunctional indicators remained at the previous level. Of the seven tests that characterize the level of development of different physical qualities, significant positive changes were observed in the performance of four exercises in girls and two exercises in boys, maintenance of the level of physical development occurred in the performance of two exercises in girls and four exercises in boys. Only the performance of endurance exercises in girls and boys showed negative dynamics. The SWOT-analysis showed the effectiveness of using the fitness program «WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFE» during distance learning.

Ways to improve the distance learning process in the conditions of a pandemic and martial law are proposed.

The full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine placed higher education institutions (HEIs) under unprecedented and immense challenges, demanding adaptive responses across all dimensions of academic life. This study aimed to explore how Ukrainian higher education institutions have contributed to the development of students’ soft skills during the dual crises of war and the pandemic. To achieve this aim, the research employed a multi-method qualitative design that combined document analysis, NVivo-assisted content coding, and comparative case study methodology. Data sources included institutional policies, national guidelines, international frameworks, and scholarly publications. This triangulated approach enabled an in-depth understanding of how Ukrainian universities conceptualised and implemented soft skills development in response to systemic crisis. Among the major demands, wartime education requires the enhancement of students’ soft skills  non technical transferable abilities such as emotional resilience, adaptability, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and self-management. The article sought to trace the changing role of Ukrainian HEIs in fostering such competencies under conditions of war, forced migration, psychological distress, and digitalised education. Drawing on theoretical insights from 2020 to 2025 regarding institutional strategies that support students’ socio-emotional development in online and hybrid learning environments through community engagement and integrative curricular design, the study also pays special attention to psychological services related to inclusion and peer mentoring for student well-being, as well as civic responsibility. It analyses the correlation between wartime academic persistence and the development of soft skills, placing particular emphasis on institutional resilience and innovative leadership. By reviewing these emerging practices in Ukrainian universities, including case examples from several national HEIs, the article offers practical recommendations for integrating soft skills training into the core mission of universities in times of crisis
