The purpose of the study is to determine the prerequisites and conditions for the creation of consortia as an organizational form of collaboration of scientific organizations and universities to ensure their competitiveness in the global education and science market within the framework of the implementation of national projects. The national project in the field of education and science is aimed at ensuring the high quality of higher education and its accessibility, increasing the level of cooperation of higher education institutions and scientific institutions, which will make it possible to commercialize the results of scientific activities more productively and, ultimately, ensure Russia’s entry into the number of advanced countries in the world in terms of scientific research and their impact. Among the main tasks of the research is to identify problems associated with the need to improve approaches in the implementation of projects to create scientific and educational consortia. Materials and methods. The research is based on the materials obtained by the authors in the course of the implementation of a number of consulting and educational projects carried out jointly with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation to ensure the financial stability of universities. In the course of interviews and analysis of statistical and functional reports (on scientific activities, self-examination reports, performance monitoring, etc.), data were obtained and summarized to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of strategic planning programs, as well as the effectiveness of cooperation projects between universities, local authorities and business.Research results. Analysis of trends in the development of scientific and educational communications showed that reliance on collaboration can serve as a factor in the sustainable development of scientific and educational organizations. In recent years, there has been an intensive search for the most effective organizational and financial instruments to ensure the promotion of Russian universities in the leading international rankings. It is shown that the most effective organizational mechanism for achieving the set goals is the integration of educational and scientific organizations in the form of consortia. It was revealed that for the formation of scientific and educational consortia, it is necessary to have not only the appropriate infrastructure for the work of scientific teams, but first of all to have projects, the implementation of which will make it possible to make a breakthrough in educational and scientific activities. An important factor influencing the formation and development of consortia is that their creation is a prerequisite for participation in the strategic academic leadership program. In this regard, the study focuses on the need to use assessment indicators by the project management from the side of the state, which would provide a full assessment of the effectiveness of the funds provided in the form of a grant.Conclusion. The results of the research show that at the state level there is a search for new forms and mechanisms that would allow for the intensive development of Russian education and science. The main instrument for the implementation of state policy in this area is represented by national projects that set the main parameters for development. It is planned to increase the number of universities that will be able to receive grant support as members of scientific and educational consortia. Certain problems have been identified that may affect the effectiveness of the activities of educational and scientific organizations in collaborations.

Institutions of higher education must respond to the changing landscape of federal and state expectations. This chapter explores how that landscape has changed over the past two decades and how some institutions are responding. At the federal level, changes have affected financial aid, research funding, and government regulation. Changes at the state level include significant reductions in state support and increases in tuition. These changes are occurring as higher education becomes more of a marketplace than a public service. The chapter offers some strategies for institutions hoping to garner increased support, particularly at the state level.

Low financial literacy of population hinders the financial market development, limits the possibilities of using the savings for investing and creating the additional capital in the country. At the state level it results in inflation, the budget deficit creation, a decrease in country’s gold and foreign exchange reserves, an increase in internal and external government debt. The article analyzes the approaches to understanding the concept of financial literacy, tools for its measuring and comparing at micro and macro levels, dynamics of savings and gold and foreign currency reserves, peculiarities of financial literacy through the analysis of dynamics and structure of revenues and expenditures of the government budget and the population of Ukraine. Factors influencing the financial literacy of the population have been systematized. The findings give an idea of creating the optimal managerial influence based on the estimation of financial literacy of the Ukrainian population with the help of specific statistical indicators to expand the possibilities of such influence and to regulate the economic processes to achieve the financial stability of the state and the population. The study showed low financial literacy at both population and state levels. However, at the micro level, creating the credit relations, as well as income, expenses, and savings is more effective than at the macro level.

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.

The object of the research is the budget expenditures for the state order funding. One of the most problematic places is, on the one hand, the lack of financial resources, and on the other hand, the low efficiency of their allocation. Using the method of vertical and horizontal analysis, the expenditures of the consolidated budget for higher education are explored by the example of Ukraine. It was found that the share of the consolidated budget of Ukraine for higher education in % of GDP is one of the largest in Europe, however, the amount of funding is insignificant in monetary terms, which makes it impossible to improve the quality of higher education. The amount of the state order for training of specialists and expenditures of the consolidated budget are analyzed. On the basis of the results of the analysis of the legislation, the impact of elements of the system of formation and state order placement on its effectiveness is assessed. During 2012–2020, the consolidated budget expenditures tended to increase (except for the crisis of 2020, when there was a general economic growth disruption). At the same time, the number of budget places reduced annually until 2018. The analysis of the system of the state order allocation showed that during 2012–2020 it had been changed several times. The main advantages and disadvantages of the system of state order allocation at the stages of its transformation are identified in the paper. Until 2015 the state order allocation was carried out manually. Since 2017 a mechanism for state order addressing has been introduced. In 2020 the mechanism of cost allocation between higher education institutions was changed and indicative prices were introduced. Due to the analysis of the conditions of state order allocation and cost allocation between higher education institutions, it is possible to take into account the main factors that contribute and block the efficiency and effectiveness of funding the higher education system in Ukraine
