Education plays a vital role in the development of any nation and this fact is well recognized all over the world. It is imperative for any nation now a days to focus on developing its higher education, since advanced knowledge, advanced facilities only can fulfill man’s advanced needs today. But unlike the primary education, higher education is a financially demanding one for a nation. The economic reforms, initiated since 1991 including Globalization has resulted in the higher demand for the people of India both within and abroad, Since domestic and multinational industries look for more knowledgeable and skilled man power all over the world. The Indian Government initially found it difficult to fully fund from its own the fast growing Indian higher education sector and hence allowed the private players to establish and run higher education institutions. This has led to the establishment of large number of higher education institutions in India over the last two decades. Higher education has seen tremendous growth over the past few years though it does not mean that it is free from problems. Theperformance of an educational institution is judged not only on the basis of the quality of education being provided but also on the basis of its contribution to the society. The present study has made an attempt to find whether all these developments have brought about benefits to the students in particular and to the society in general with reference to higher education especially, the impact of globalization on the scenario of higher education. The present study concentrated on areas such as quality of higher education now, problems faced by the students and the service providers, benefits attained by the society and necessary strategies for improving the quality of higher education in the era of globalization, if the present scenario is falling short of being beneficial to one and all concerned.

The systematic changes in higher education institutions in Poland over the past two decades are analyzed. The classical idea of spontaneous social development and the hypothesis of interaction between formal and informal institutions, developed on the basis of a new institutional educational policy, was adopted as a methodological basis for analyzing and evaluating the transformation of Polish higher education. Transformations in Polish higher education are part of a more general shift in the role of universities - changes that can limit the independence of research and make it an instrument of dominant social, political and economic forces. The article states that the process of improving the quality of education cannot be detached from the system of financing education. The quality of education depends on the funding system not only because it is a source of resources, but also because it creates incentives for both students and teachers. The problems in the field of financing higher education in Poland are special because the rapid quantitative development of higher education occurred during a period of deep political transformation in Poland. The activities of the State Accreditation Commission of Poland are analyzed, its main competences are highlighted. The Polish Accreditation Commission (Polska Komisja Akredytacyjna) is an independent collegiate body of higher education management aimed at improving the quality of education. It is formed by the Minister of Science and Higher Education from among the candidates proposed by the Council of the Conference of Rectors of Higher Education Institutions of Poland, the Conference of Rectors of Polish Professional Educational Institutions of Poland, the Parliament of Students of the Republic of Poland, the Senates of universities and national scientific societies and the organization of employers. The powers of the Commission include providing the Minister of Science and Higher Education with opinions, feedback and conclusions regarding the establishment of the HEI or its organizational unit, permits to study studies in a particular direction at one or another level of education; program and institutional assessment, including pedagogical education. The impact of financing higher education institutions to ensure the quality of higher education is partly considered in the article.

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.
