The article is devoted to the description and analysis of factors that potentially and actually affect the socio-economic development of the state on the example of the higher education institution. It is established that at the system level the level of ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education has a decisive influence on the formation of a positive image of a higher education institution. The results of a survey of students on the criteria for choosing a university to study are presented. Statistics on public funding of education in general and higher education in particular are presented and analyzed. It is established that, despite the formally high percentage of education funding from the level of GDP in absolute terms, the actual funding is low and needs to be strengthened by attracting external funding from customers. Attention is also paid to the state of development of educational services for foreign students. In a competitive environment at the national and international level, the decisive influence on the involvement of foreign students in the university is influenced by the structure of the training program, teacher qualifications, organization of the educational process in the classroom and so on. The article on the example of a higher education institution presents the main stages of formation and development of the internal system of quality assurance of education as an object of influence on the socio-economic development of the state. The development and/or improvement of internal quality assurance systems in universities is becoming a powerful basis for increasing university funding from external (personally involved) sources, reducing the outflow of applicants abroad and the successful provision of educational services to foreign students. At this stage, given the limited opportunities for funding of educational activities by the state (compared to EU countries), the successful implementation of the university development strategy is possible provided that systematic work is done to improve the quality of educational services for domestic and foreign citizens. As part of further research, it is planned to analyze the mutual impact of the education quality assurance system on the effectiveness of scientific activities, the provision of additional paid educational services, training for external customers and other sources.

Conceptual Foundations

The process of higher education quality assurance is a strategic priority for the development of higher education in Ukraine. To meet the EHEA standards in the sphere of higher education for the Ukrainian HEIS to cooperate with European ones; the conceptual foundations of the reform of higher education, which are designed to provide quality educational services, are to be considered. Modern higher education policy in the European Higher Education Area to ensure the quality of higher education involves the involvement of various stakeholders in the functioning of higher education, including NGOs and associations, employers, local communities, and active citizens. Departmental HEIs began to form an internal system of quality assurance in higher education in 2016. At this stage, the relevant provisions have been developed, which regulate the distribution of powers to ensure the quality of education between different services and departments of the university. Based on the analysed documents, it was concluded that some structural units for quality assurance in higher education in departmental HEIs have not yet been formed, and the functions of compliance with quality standards are assigned as additional to existing structural units. Based on the analysis of news from the websites of departmental HEIs of Ukraine, it was concluded that departmental HEIs cooperate with international and Ukrainian non-governmental organisations whose activities are related to law enforcement. The priority of cooperation between HEIs and non-governmental organisations, which is publicly available on the websites of universities, is joint educational activities, training, conferences and round tables, professional development of employees. There are no documents outlining the influence of non-governmental organisations on ensuring the quality of educational services and information on the practical dimension of cooperation in ensuring the quality of educational services on the websites. The conclusion is made about the need to develop mechanisms for the cooperation of departmental HEIs of Ukraine with non-governmental organisations and the algorithm of the promulgation of this process.

Assessment of the quality of education through a single indicator is not possible. It is required a systematic assessment approach based on internal and external criteria to assess the educational environment. The quality of higher education is a multidimensional, multi–component and dynamic concept related to the context of an educational model, mission and purpose of the institution as well as specific criteria for a particular system of education, institution and the characteristics of the educational program or academic discipline. The task of the University in the process of education quality assurance is not only the quality of graduates but also the effective organization of all on–going activities of the learning process, which includes training, effective organization of all educational processes, continuous professional development of teachers. Henceforth, the most important thing is to create a culture of education at the University.

In article ways of maintenance of quality of higher education in Belarus are considered. It is shown that they are the result of interaction of two tendencies. The first is inheritance and development of traditions of the Soviet education system. Belarus system tries to conserve fundamentality and scientific character of the contents of education, to keep in basis the orientation on Five years' term of training. The second one is use the consequences of world processes, such as mass character of higher education, its practical orienta-tion, Influence of market relations on education, etc. All establishments of education of an education system of Belarus are subjected to the state control. Irrespective of subordination and patterns of ownership of establishments of education the state con-trol is carried out as: – Self-checking which is carried out by establishments as the procedure which is carried out for an internal estimation of quality of education under the program worked out by establishment education or as a necessary stage of the certification which are carried out in the order, developed by department of quality assurance of education; – Inspections of establishments spent by department of quality assurance of education and other competent bodies; – Inspections by department of quality assurance of education of committees, departments of educa-tion of local executive and administrative bodies. Monitoring of quality of education at a level of universities is carried out in the form of the current and final certification of students for the certain period of training (a semester, a rate, all period of training). Oral, written and practical forms are used. Forms of certification of students are determined by educational standards of specialities. For the first time standards of specialties of higher education in republic have been developed in 1998-1999. In 2008 standards of new generation (361 specialities) have been created. In standards results of modernization of system of the higher school are reflected: two-level preparation of the graduate (the special-ist, the master); the differentiated terms of preparation of the graduate at the first level (from 4 till 6 years of training on a speciality); competent approach to formation of model of the specialist; increasing of controlled independent work of students in total amount training hours; orientation to innovative techniques and tech-nologies of teaching. The problem which is necessary to solve is to update of the training courses content from scientific and practical point of view. It is difficult because this step may lead to including more information that stu-dent is able to get. In this case it is important to emphasize that methodology of education is opposite to methodology of development of knowledge in science. In a science, as it is known, speaking computer language, change of operational system occurs from time to time. It allows to state information of past periods simply and briefly. There is reconsideration and re-structuring of all volume of the scientific information from the point of view of a new scientific paradigm. Changes of scientific knowledge in the content of training courses also should be nonlinear both on time and on intensity of the response to changes occurring in a science. During normal (extensive) develop-ment of a science the new knowledge can quite take root into educational process in an additive mode. Intro-duction of the knowledge which has arisen during change of a scientific paradigm demands radical transfor-mation of forms and methods of training and even phase transition of all education system. Differently, the content and methodology of education, following by the changes in a science and practice, should vary peri-odically to provide quality of preparation of specialists according to modern social and culture realities. Key words: education, quality, the content of education, methodology.

Introduction. Given the limited own resources of local self-government, it is important to ensure the effective functioning of the mechanism for providing investment subventions from the state budget. Such investment subventions include subventions for the formation of infrastructure in the united territorial communities and subventions for the implementation of measures of socio-economic development of separate territories. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the mechanism of providing and using investment subventions to local budgets in order to identify disadvantages and eliminate them. Results. Providing an “infrastructure” subvention to local budgets has strengthened the capacity of united territorial communities and to some extent improved the quality of services provided to the population. During 2016–2019, UAH 6.5 billion was allocated from the State Budget of Ukraine to local budgets for infrastructure development and 9475 projects were implemented. With the help of these subventions, schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics, cultural and sports institutions, water mains and roads were built and repaired, and specialized transport was purchased. However, in recent years, the role of this subvention has decreased significantly due to the fact that the number of UTCs that received an infrastructure subvention during 2016–2021 has increased significantly, and its volume has hardly changed. The amount of subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of measures for socio-economic development of certain territories has also decreased, which negatively affects the capacity of local governments in the field of investment projects. Conclusion. The volume of investment subventions remains insufficient, and their distribution is partly in a “manual mode”, which creates a favorable environment for political corruption and lobbying.

One of the most important functions of management is control. Without its implementation the manager won't achieve the objectives. On methods of implementation of function of control in management many works are published. However in system personal, that is personal, management of this function in scientific literature much less attention is paid. In a special measure such situation is characteristic of a problem of the personal organization of high school managers. University managers play a special, significant role in development of the higher education. Carry to them managers of departments, deans, the rectorial case, and also heads of functional services of management of university (educational and methodical, scientific, financial, cultural and educational and other divisions). Relying on understanding of an essence of personal management, in article scientific and methodical approaches to implementation of function of self-checking personal activities of university managers are considered. Usually activities of managers are estimated quality of work of subordinate divisions of university, and problems of an efficiency evaluation of the personal activities which aren't connected with a management of higher education institution often remain in the shadow. However, as a rule, managers of departments, deans, rectors (and their deputies) are not only managers, but also professors and associate professors interested in results of the personal activities in science, pedagogics, public life. In our opinion, productivity, effectiveness and efficiency of a personal labor can be the indicators allowing university managers to control the personal activities. Faithful at first sight, these concepts, actually have semantic distinctions, but in a complex allow the high school manager to perform real self-checking of the individual activities as scientists and teachers. Within the research content and forms of self-checking in the sphere of personal management is determined, the sense of key concepts, content and features of personal work of university managers is revealed, experience of implementation of the offered approaches is generalized, recommendations about use of the offered indicators in case of a quality evaluation of activities of high school managers are made.
