The article describes the peculiarities of the monitoring systems of higher education quality in Ukraine and Germany at the present stage, taking into account the national traditions, historical experience and mentality of the population, also enshrined at the legislative level. The impact of public administration in the field of education and independent public organizations (agencies) on the nature and quality of monitoring procedures should be evaluated, since the involvement of society in monitoring the quality of higher education should be an integral part of a full-fledged education system. Given the specifics of the step-by-step system for regional monitoring of the quality of higher education in Germany, the role of the Conference of Rectors of Higher Education Institutions in this issue was demonstrated. Recent years’ statistics are used to illustrate the polarity of Ukrainian and German universities positions in world rankings (for example, The Times Higher Education World University Rankings and World University Rankings). The results of a comparative analysis of the approaches to higher education quality assurance and monitoring in Germany and Ukraine, the activities of monitoring entities in the two countries at all levels, starting from the national level and ending with the level of the educational institution, are presented in a summary table. The table demonstrates also the conceptual and functional components of quality monitoring: the purpose of the monitoring, the objects of monitoring, the levels and entities, the public initiative, the priority of the monitoring levels, the dominant principles, the overall orientation and monitoring of the quality of higher education. The article outlines the prospects of using elements of the progressive international experience of organizing a monitoring system of higher education quality to reform the national higher school, which is a necessary step in the process of its entry into the European Higher Education Area.

AbstractEducational institutions all over the world realize the importance of promoting international cooperation. In order to stay competitive in such fields like education, research, innovations it is no longer enough to count on only internal resources. Exchange of experience, knowledge sharing, benchmarking provide possibilities for universities to constantly remain updated on modern know-hows.New opportunities for improving the quality of higher education in Belarus are provided by different international programs and projects. Among them there is the project of the EU Program ERASMUS + CBHE “University Teaching and Learning Enhancement” / UniTeLE, which has been implemented since 2019. The project coordinator is Linnaeus University (Sweden).In the framework of the ERASMUS + UniTeLE project, a consortium of Belarusian universities has conducted a higher education quality research. The purpose of this research is to identify areas for improving the quality of higher education in Belarus.The research was carried out on the basis of a sociological survey of a representative sampling of teachers, staff and students of six Belarusian universities (more than 350 respondents from Minsk, Gomel, Brest, Gorki, Polotsk, Grodno were interviewed). Both SWOT analysis of higher education quality in Belarus and focus group of possible improvement were performed. The discussion was attended by work groups of 25 leaders, teachers and students from each of the Belarusian universities of the project consortium.The following fundamental research results should be noted. Among the strengths of Belarusian universities are: specialization in the regions, the system of additional adult education, and practical experience of teachers (2/3 of respondents). 58% of respondents are confident in the advantages of innovative educational technologies used by teachers, 47% indicated a low intensity of innovation implementation. Respondents noted the high level of Hard Skills competencies of the teaching staff and insufficiently of Soft Skills competencies for both teachers and students. The respondents identified outdated educational technologies and methods and the content of curricula as the fundamental weakness of Belarusian education.The following areas of quality improvement have been identified as the most important for Belarusian universities: -the development of Soft Skills competencies of both teachers and students to provide their close interaction;-the development of Soft Skills competencies among students to provide their close interaction with employers (the development of job search skills, entrepreneurial activity);-the introduction of active teaching and learning methods, the development of interactive educational technologies;-the inсlusion of students in the process of education quality internal assessment;-systematic assessment of teachers, including the process of applying for a job, teacher academic development planning (HR management).For the practical improvement in the suggested areas, it is advisable to create Life Long Learning Centres and Centres of Academic Development of teachers in Belarusian universities, as well as a student-oriented quality assessment system. To improve the quality and competitiveness of Belarusian education, it is also advisable to develop international cooperation and networking among universities. The positive experience of such projects as TEMPUS ECOTESY, ERASMUS + UniTeLE, ERASMUS + BELL and others, can contribute to such cooperation and interaction.

The paper studies the problem of assessing the quality of higher education in the Russian Federation. The problem is rooted in the ambiguous understanding of the concept of quality and the variability of the meaning of higher education, primarily, its arguable connection with obtaining a specific professional education. The methodology relies on the principles of modern economic theory and the results of social psychology and assessment theory, thereby demonstrating a cross-disciplinary character. Based on the provisions and approaches mentioned above, we find that the concept of quality has at least four possible interpretations, and the concept of higher education has three of them, while the current regulatory documents do not fully cover them. Proceeding from the fact that higher education services are credence goods for students, the research proves that students cannot act as the subject of quality assessment. The analysis performed in the paper demonstrates the plethora of options for assessing the quality of higher education, the number of which attains at least 396. The study formulates concrete proposals for modernization of the existing system of higher education quality assessment in Russia.
