The purpose: the article substantiates the importance of the country’s adoption of the strategic planning document «Strategy for the development of the higher education system in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030».Materials and methods: the research uses theoretical and empirical methods, logical and system analysis, methods of description, prediction and expert assessments. The theoretical basis of the research is the method of strategic management developed by the famous economist, doctor of economic sciences, professor, foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences V. L. Kvint.Results: the analysis of numerous definitions of the concept and essence of strategy existing in the scientific literature is carried out, and a number of key positions in its definition are highlighted. Justifications are given for the criteria for developing strategies, using the example of the Strategy for the development of the country’s higher education system for the long term. The features of developing a strategy for the development of higher education are defined, and the hierarchy of levels of the strategy system is presented in relation to the strategy for the development of domestic higher education.Discussion: the strategy proposed for adoption should reflect the state and prospects of development of the higher education system, with the definition of Russia’s position in the world educational space, current challenges and threats facing higher education, identify strategic priorities, goals and objectives, mechanisms and stages of implementation of the strategy, propose scenarios for the development of the higher education system, identify sources of resources for the implementation of the strategy, expected results and monitoring of its implementation.Conclusion: it is noted that various state programs, national, Federal and priority projects, and action plans related to the development of the higher education system are being developed and approved in the country. However, there is no key strategic planning document — the Strategy for the development of the higher education system in Russia for the long term (for example, until 2030). In this regard, it is very relevant to develop and adopt this strategy, which undoubtedly takes into account the historically established traditions and features of the national higher school.

The statistical population consisted of heads and deputies of the universities covered by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Medical Education and Islamic Azad University of Khorasan Razavi (N=320). 175 individuals were selected using cluster random sampling. For data collection, the standard questionnaire of Braison (2010) was used. The reliability coefficient was (0.910) using Cronbach's alpha test. The face and content validity were evaluated using expert opinion and construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis. For statistical analysis of the data, one-variable t-test, skewness and kurtosis test, Friedman test and confirmatory factor analysis were used in Smart Pls, Spss software. The findings indicated that the status of implementation of strategic planning in the studied population was at an unfavorable level, and components of strategic planning are not ranked the same. The component of determining organizational duties had the highest rank among the components of implementation of the strategic planing and the components of initial agreement and strategic issues were ranked next (p-value <0.05). Given the unfavorable state of implementation of strategic plans, universities and higher education institutions are urged to correctly and timely implement the plans and eliminate existing obstaclesv

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
