The article highlights the issue of the development of communicative competence of participants in the educational process in a multi-ethnic region. It was established that it significantly depends on the network of educational institutions.
In the context of daily communication, a person identifies himself through language, asserts his national identity, his linguistic consciousness in front of everyone.
Communication is the process of exchanging information between people, communicating using verbal and non-verbal means in order to transmit and receive the necessary data.

The network of educational institutions of the Chernivtsi region takes into account the ethno-national composition of the region's population, its linguistic and cultural needs and traditions. In accordance with the needs of the population, a network of educational institutions has been formed and operates, and an extensive network of educational institutions operates, where education is provided in the languages of national minorities.
Preschool education services are provided by 385 institutions, in which 32,972 children (88%) are educated, of which 62 are Romanian-speaking (16%), where 3,308 children (10.1%) are educated, and 2 are bilingual (0.4%). General secondary education services are provided by 401 institutions (including institutions of regional subordination). In the network of institutions of general secondary education, there are: 1-4 classes - 399 classes, 12,042 students; 5-9 grades – 477 classes, 13,495 students; 10-11 grades – 110 classes, 2963 students. Of them: 326 schools (81%) with Ukrainian language of instruction; 57 schools (14%) – with Romanian; 1 school (0.2%) – with Russian; 17 bilingual schools (tuition in Romanian and Ukrainian (4.5%).

Two more languages of national minorities – Polish and Hebrew are studied as a subject in 3 schools (Starokrasnoshor Secondary School I-II degrees, Storozhynetsk Gymnasium and Chernivtsi Secondary School No. 22, total 366 students), and optionally in 2 (Gymnasium No. 3 in Chernivtsi, Pankivskyi NEC of the Storozhinetsk City Council, only 114 students).

In 2019-2022, agreements were signed between educational institutions in Romania and institutions of general secondary education with the Romanian language of instruction in the region. Higher education institutions of the region have concluded 28 agreements with educational institutions of Romania.
Such an educational structure makes it possible to effectively and qualitatively organize the correct learning process so that as a result of educational activities stable communicative competences are formed and is an effective tool for preparing the young generation for life in the new realities of international coexistence.

The network meets the real needs of the population. Recently, there has not been a single appeal from citizens regarding the restriction of language rights.
Recommendations were given to methodical services and educational institutions on how to properly organize the learning process, so that as a result of educational activities, students have stable communicative competence.
