Within the article, interviews were conducted with representatives of the six internally displaced universities (Tavrida National V. I. Vernadsky University, Donetsk National University, Luhansk Oblast Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education, etc.). The subsequent summarization of the results of the interviews allowed us to identify the directions of implementation of the strategy of reintegration. Proceeding from the existing state of the Ukrainian educational system divided by the war, the main way of reintegration is to establish effective systems of support for displaced institutions of higher education as well as improving the material, technical, scientific and pedagogical component of their activities.

Why are institutions of higher education interested in internationalization? The question was asked at a faculty meeting in our university college. A variety of arguments and opinions were expressed. Many “when”, “what”, “how”, “who” and “why” questions were asked. Some arguments were normative and altruistic emphasizing the need of helping to develop countries in improving their educational system, others took a more ideological stand explaining internationalization within a neo-liberal and globalized frame, and some arguments emphasized the importance of a comparative approach to improve the quality of national education.

The following paper discusses contemporary challenges of providing access to formally accredited higher education programs in the United States of America, and on a smaller scale also in Slovenia. It interprets the recent college admissions scandal within the historical framework of American educational policies, paired with its traditional social practices. In the initial sections, the paper provides a brief historical overview of the development of American (higher) education, the beginnings of which date as far back as the early 17th century. Back then, the very concept of formal and publicly accessible education was in its developmental stages. By focusing on a selection of historical aspects and educational trends within the American national context, the paper unveils the related expectations and attitudes toward acquiring formal education in the past. It lists a number of historically relevant changes, which have been implemented over the past century within the American educational system at state and federal levels. The latter have contributed to the development of contemporary approaches to education and have affected recent attitudes toward formal education in American society. The paper includes statistical data on enrolments and graduation rates in institutions of higher education in the United States and Slovenia, which offers an insight into the rising enrolment and graduation trends, and relates the figures to the importance of accessibility of education as an equalizer that should provide equality of opportunity for all, irrespective of social background or economic power. The accrued data and related research results support a favorable trend in accessibility of formal education in both countries, the US and Slovenia. This is an important finding, particularly in the context of the college tuition scandal, as it might at first sight create the impression that some of the highly valued and formally accredited institutions of higher education were subject to the influence of a powerful elite. The research results therefore support the trend of the educational system and the accrued knowledge assuming the role of the equalizer in leveling out certain aspects of social inequality.

It has been noted that the data on the development of the abilities of students’ social intelligence during their studies in higher education institutions, which are presented in the literature, are ambiguous and need to be clarified. The author of the article has analyzed the peculiarities of the abilities of social intelligence of cadets of institutions of higher education with specific learning conditions in different years (time interval between studies – 15 years) and at different courses. The research was conducted at Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs in 2002 and 2017 by using J. J. Guilford’s Social Intelligence Methodology. 4 groups of cadets participated in the study. They were future psychologists who studied at 1, 3 (2 groups) and 5 courses. According to the results of the study, cadets are most often diagnosed with the average and lower than the average levels of social intelligence (high level of social intelligence among the surveyed cadets in 2017 was not diagnosed), the most advanced ability of social intelligence was the ability to predict the effects of behavior. The smallest changes over time were established regarding the cadets’ abilities to logical generalization, the allocation of common essential features in various nonverbal responses of a person. In general, there was a certain decrease in the level of the development of cadets’ abilities of social intelligence, especially the ability to understand the internal motives of people’s behavior; the author of the study suggests that this may be due to the negative influence of a number of factors in the social environment, where the abilities of social intelligence are formed. Among the factors that negatively affected the level of development of the abilities of social intelligence of the study participants, the author has distinguished the following: changes in child-parent communication; change in the content of education and attitudes towards children in secondary schools; reduction of the intensity of direct friendship communication and increase of the importance of communication in social networks. The author has proved the necessity to improve the educational and pedagogical conditions aimed at developing the abilities of social intelligence of modern professionals in the law enforcement sphere.

The Politics in Higher Education: The contemporary Crises in Higher Education in Nigeria is a consequence of fundamental political manipulations of the educational system – at both the federal and state levels. The government did not take the economy of the country into consideration. This had now made almost all the institutions of higher education of learning in Nigeria to face the financial constraints. For instance look at the specialized Universities of Agriculture at Abeokuta and Makurdi and the Faculties of Science and Technology in Nigerian universities are all facing the same financial problems as the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences. Furthermore, libraries in most higher institutions of learning today are ill-equipped. Therefore, establishing higher institutions here and there without maintaining the already existing ones is not in the best interest for national development.

The article, based on the information essence and mission purpose of higher education, substantiates the key criterion of the quality of the latter one – the contemporality and supercontemporality of the information being taught and studied and leads to the formation of competencies (qualifications). The sign «contemporaneous» and «supercontemporaneous» is interpreted as the relevance of information for the present and the future. According to the duration of the relevance of the information its characteristic is proposed - "shelf life", as well as the negative influence of inappropriate for consumption (non-contemporaneous) information - the concept of "negative value added" in the formation of human capital. It is proved that contemporaneous and supercontemporaneous information can be supplied from the past, present and future. Information on the future state of the subject of teaching and study is provided by research prognosis and prediction and on this basis, the innovative design (creation) of the future. It is argued that university leaders and leadership training at universities are based on contemporaneous and especially supercontemporaneous information. The system of measures for consolidation and concentration of shredded and dispersed higher education institutions of Ukraine was outlined with the aim of achieving their competitive potential, the ability to provide high-quality (contemporaneous and supercontemporaneous) higher education, to be leaders and to form leaders of progress. That system developed on the base of analysis of the parameters of the 31 extra-class universities, which rank at 1-30 places by the Shanghai Rating (ARWU) in 2018 and serve as an exemplary future for Ukrainian universities. These measures include the following. First, the introduction of a national university ranking of general and sectoral versions to identify the best, medium and backward higher education institutions, their further optimization (priority strengthening of the first, improvement of second, removal or rehabilitation of the third), as well as the formation of a culture of competitive leadership. Secondly, the creation of a leadership Association of Ukrainian Universities, such as the Association of American Universities, in order to determine the strategy and policy of modernizing the national university network, supporting the formation and further development of universities on the basis of leadership. Thirdly, the consolidation of institutions of higher education in order to create the necessary educational, research and innovative organizational, personnel, resource, infrastructure capacity, the ability to produce and offer contemporaneous and supercontemporaneous information for teaching and learning, the formation of appropriate competencies (qualifications) for its consumers (competitors). Fourthly, the consolidation and concentration of higher education institutions by combining them with the most experienced time-tested universities, while reviving the profile adequacy of the facilities available to them in their competitive professional capacities. Fifthly, the maintenance of the modernization of institutions of higher education through their consolidation and concentration by the obligatory creation of conditions for the implementation of the dual teaching and research function of teachers by reducing the training load, increasing wages, developing educational and research infrastructure, resource support.

Problems of internally displaced people are considered in this article. It has been defined that people from the east of Ukraine were involuntarily displaced because their relocation was carried out within one country due to the fear of becoming a victim of military conflict unlike refugees who have to leave their own country because of the fear to be chased by racial, religion or national reasons or because of belonging to a certain social group or political belief. It has been discovered that the main context of functions and different directions of social work with involuntarily displaced people consists in the support of complementary social environment or the change of social environment in direction of its greater complementarity for people who leave their home and fall into another social environment. It has been emphasized that the system of social and pedagogical work with such people in institutions of higher education has to be designed on the basis of formation and reconstruction of social qualities. It has been revealed that the context of social and pedagogical work with involuntarily displaced people in institutions of higher education will be effective in case it is carried out in such directions as social, social and psychological, social and pedagogical, social and legal, material, social and informational, and social an career-related. The summative stage of the research has been presented. It has given a picture of the level of satisfaction, trust, and attitude of internally displaced people regarding the solution of their problems in higher education institutions, and the reasons of their dissatisfaction with the received services in the institutions.
