High-quality education is one of the main goals of Russia today. To reach it, the educational authorities, textbook and study guides authors and teachers should cooperate to identify the main problems and find their solution. One of the serious challenges of the Russian students is poor knowledge of foreign languages that reduces their chances to continue their education abroad. One of the ways to improve knowledge of a foreign language is to provide motivational and up-to-date educational resources including textbooks and visual aids. This research analyzes ESL textbooks from the point of view of Russia’s image presentation. Several cognitive strategies of the country’s image presentation have been singled out, among the most frequent are inclusion of phenomena of Russian culture along with culture-bound information of other countries; stereotypical representation of Russian culture without modern socio-cultural context; emphasis on Russian scientific achievements; presentation of traditional and historic facts; and emphasis on Russian politics. Students’ attitudes to culture bound materials are revealed in a survey. Recommendations to textbook authors and teachers are provided.

In modern conditions the university acts as a subject in the market of educational services. As a result, in order to maintain competitiveness, it doesn’t just have to provide high-quality education, but also to conduct an effective advertising campaign. The article analyzes methods of agitation and advertising campaigns used by NAU «KhAI» based on the interpretation of sociological research results on the topic: “Motivational characteristics of «Law» specialty students who entered KhAI in 2017-2018”. According to the results of the study, one can conclude that the field of battle for the minds of entrants moved into the virtual space. Now the university's website is its business card, its "face". Creation of a virtual image and its maintenance become a priority area because the logic of humanity development is moving in this direction. Thus, traditional forms such as advertising on radio, television, newspapers and magazines are economically ineffective in comparison to advertising in the Internet. As for the content of the website, the first priority should be placed to detailed information of the specialties, content of the training courses, opportunities for studying applied sciences, description of the areas of application of the knowledge, skills, and competences. Full and up-to-date information on the website creates the image of the university that is keeping up to the times. Such website shows the university that meets modern requirements and is capable to provide high-quality education. This is extremely important in the face of fierce competition not only in the Ukrainian but also in the global educational services market. Some of the features of our mentality should be mentioned too. Numerous studies indicate extremely low level of trust in official institutions in our society. Instead we believe in the immediate surroundings, and therefore the point of view “Reviews of friends, parents, relatives” definitely will be among the leaders. But now, the Internet as a reliable source has gained a leading position as well. This fact should be, firstly, taken into account, and, secondly, used, and we mean not only official websites, but also blogs, Internet advertising, etc. On the other hand the significance of the "human factor" has increased a lot. Professional guidance work in schools with potential entrants has a positive effect. It is also necessary to emphasize the importance of selection committee staff work. While making their choice, graduates and their parents want to get advice from a university employee, and the quality of this consultation strongly affects the final decision to enter the university.

The article substantiates the need to re-evaluate the role of human capital in the development of society in the digital age.

The author presents results of calculations obtained by this method on the example of agricultural educational institutions and a mathematical model for assessing the impact of human capital on the socio-economic situation of the regions.

The article justifies for the need to identify and to keep track, in practice, of different groups of risks inherent in educational institutions under current conditions of pandemic and post-pandemic transformation of education under the influence of modern world uncertainty. Transformation of education functions in the epoch of digital economy changes the content and types of risks concomitant to the activities carried out by schools. Schools belong to the most conservative types of organizations. However, the environment in which schools operate is constantly changing. An educational institution, as any enterprise, has to engage in the activity aimed at risk management. Manifestation of the risk is, on the one hand, fraught with threats and damage, on the other hand, with opportunities. Assessment of possible threats and risks allows timely projection of undesirable results, creation of a system for situational response to unforeseen circumstances and, in the final analysis, formulation of a strategy for development of the university which would allow achievement of modern high quality education, its fundamentality and conformity to important topical requirements of the personality, society and state. Causes of developing risks characteristic of educational institutions are disclosed. External and internal risks characteristic of educational institutions, sources generating them and the importance of managing them are analyzed. The analysis of risks made reveals multi-varied threats and opportunities in the external and internal envi-ronment of the institution and their ability to have a significant effect on educational, organizational and financial activities of the schools.

Games-based learning takes advantage of gaming technologies to create a fun, motivating, and interactive virtual learning environment that promotes situated experiential learning. Many researchers now believe that this approach can better motivate present day entertainment-driven learners to more thoroughly engage in learning through meaningful activities defined in the game context as opposed to those offered using more traditional didactic approaches. This chapter describes games-based learning, the related terms and scope, current approaches, embedded pedagogies and challenges for providing high-quality education in the 21st Century.
