In the context of the digital economy and the globalization of the social sphere, the introduction of distance learning technologies in the educational process, as well as the legal regulation of distance education and assessing its quality are the most relevant. Mass quarantine restrictions associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, on the one hand, challenged existing distance learning systems, on the other hand, created a serious impetus for its further development. The first goal of the study is to analyze the regulatory legal acts regulating distance education in the Russian Federation with a view to establishing its place and role in the educational process. The second goal of the study is to assess the quality of distance education in modern conditions. To achieve these goals, regulatory legal acts were analyzed, an assessment of distance education in the Russian Federation at the present stage was given, a system of indicators for assessing the quality of higher education was developed. To conduct the study, methods such as the deduction method, methods for calculating relative values and a graphical analysis method were used. Based on the study of normative legal acts, it was concluded that distance learning is an educational technology and, accordingly, can be used as a means of organizing the educational process in the implementation of the educational program for any form of training, including full-time, in accordance with local educational normative acts organization. At the same time, modern services for the implementation of distance learning have wide functional capabilities, which, if used correctly, allows achieving the proper level of quality. Based on the analysis of fundamental legal documents and available sources of information, the authors developed a system of indicators for a comprehensive assessment of the quality of higher education, which includes three groups of indicators: the quality of students, the quality of the teaching staff and the quality of the educational process.

In recent years, the system of higher education has undergone significant changes affecting the most important spheres of university activities: management of the educational process, its organization, which significantly changes the attitudes, incentives, motives and value system of the academic staff. In a number of cases, as a result of reforming the management system there are created special conditions that affect the quality of educational services. The task of investigating the consequences of the ongoing reforms is being actualized in order to identify the main factors that restrain the growth of quality. To solve this problem there has been made comparative analysis of the quality of higher education in Russia and abroad. Significant reserves of its growth in Russia have been revealed. There had been proposed a classification based on the scope of action: factors that operate within the educational system, but are external to the higher education; factors that are external to the educational system as a whole; factors acting within the system of higher education. The most significant external factor for the educational system is the low innovative potential of the economy, underestimation of the quality of education by business, which determines the aim of the majority of students not to build up human capital, but to obtain a diploma with minimal expenses. The factors intrinsic to the educational system, but external to the higher education system, include the lack of interest and unpreparedness of school teachers for working with gifted students, which is primarily due to the use of the results of the General State Examination and Unified State Examination for evaluating their work . The main negative factor operating within the higher education system is the distortion of teachers' incentives, the increase of their opportunistic behavior caused by the transition to a new management system for higher education organizations.

Higher education in Ukraine, as one of the prerequisites for national security and competitiveness of the country, needs to be reformed, first of all in the context of improving the quality of educational services. Educational quality studies have confirmed that the educational system does not adequately address the needs of customers and those who receive education. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to study the theoretical aspects of the institutional provision of the quality management process of higher education. Methods of dialectical cognition, comparative analysis, content analysis and a comprehensive approach to the analysis of transformations in the field of higher education are used in this work. A prerequisite for ensuring the quality of higher education is the definition of the hypostasis of the relevant procedures, among which process, functional and evaluation are identified. It is established in the article that the institutional environment in the field of education is an ordered set of legally established norms and informal rules that determine the conditions for the functioning of institutions of higher education, structure the relationship between the subjects of the educational process and are formed within the educational system. The article deals with a wide network of organizations that form the institutional environment of the national higher education, which, according to the levels of government, are divided into international, national, regional and local. It is noted that state agencies for ensuring the quality of education have the largest share in the formation of the institutional environment of the educational sphere. This often leads to a conflict of interest of stakeholders, which can be solved by the introduction of the Institute of Independent Educational Auditors.

The article analyzes public-private partnership as a mechanism for improving the quality of higher education. It was noted that today business is actively promoting the development of social investments in the field of higher education. The author draws attention to the fact that the main content of companies' social responsibility is their interaction with educational institutions, their structural units, educational and research teams, expanding the presence of companies both in the educational process itself and in governing bodies. If earlier the private sector was limited only to charitable assistance, sponsorship or simply donations, today it is focused on active participation in the life of a higher institution in its development, improving the material base, including within the framework of public-private partnerships. A characteristic feature of recent times is the creation of corporate universities, both in companies themselves and in institutions of higher education. It is noted that public-private partnership in the field of higher education is becoming a strategic alliance that regulates the integration interaction of participants: the state, companies, non-governmental organizations and higher educational institutions at different stages of the life cycle of educational services. The benefits of the state are transformed with the help of the mechanism of publicprivate partnership, it turns out to be in the development of the commercial sector for the supply of public goods to improve the quality and innovation of educational services. For the private sector, the benefits of public-private partnerships are manifested in the development of a "public" component in the supply of private goods based on corporate social responsibility, the ability to assess and attract knowledge to a specific business, concerns higher education institutions, then the benefits of public-private partnerships are manifested in extra-budgetary financing the educational process, bringing the effectiveness of educational services and scientific development to the commercial level of implementation in order to obtain new competitive advantages in educational services, as well as public-private partnership can be considered as a tool for solving such problems of modern higher education as; pooling and raising funds to improve the quality of educational programs. It has been proved that the mechanisms of public-private partnership in the foreseeable future can become one of the main directions of financing the development of infrastructure and campuses of higher education institutions.

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].
