The new philosophy of quality is a general category. In addition to products (goods) and services, it generically applies to enterprises, organizations, institutions, their personnel, and management systems. And nowadays, the term "quality" means not only the high quality of goods but also, above all, the way of management, as well as life. In the recent years the issue of the quality of educational services in higher education has gained considerable popularity both in the civil society and in the world. The modern educational paradigm considers this concept as a multifaceted model of social norms and requirements for a personality, an educational environment in which its development and development of a system of education that implements educational tasks at certain stages of study in higher education institutions takes place. It does comprise everything: the quality of the teaching and methodological base, the quality of teaching staff and teaching staff, the quality of providing educational services, the high degree of satisfaction of educational needs of students and, finally, the quality of the subject of learning. The quality of education is a generalized indicator of the development of a society in a particular temporal dimension, and therefore it is considered in the dynamics of changes characterizing the state's progress in the context of the latest world trends. The International Standard also regulates the concept of "quality of education" as a set of properties and characteristics of the educational process that meet the educational needs of consumers of educational services. All these are worldview concepts that have a methodological value to ensure the high quality of education at all stages and levels.
