Main Component

The article analyzes some general trends and outlines strategic benchmarks of the domestic dimension for reforming the educational sphere. In the context of modern theoretical paradigms, globalization, innovation, quality of education as trends that actualize and cause reform educational processes in Ukraine are distinguished. Globalization poses a challenge for education in general and for national educational systems, in particular, a number of problems that require a speedy response both at the state level and at the level of civil society institutions. The answer to them should be the leitmutif of further reform of the domestic educational sector, where the key position is not the unification of higher education, but wide access to the diversity of educational, scientific and cultural achievements of other countries, a deep combination of educational and scientific activities. We are talking about a new philosophy of education and science, learning and education, new approaches, goals and priorities, that is, a new paradigm for the development of higher school. In terms of innovation, the education system must change the paradigm of building and functioning, steadily moving into a river ahead of education, when scientific knowledge, changing its orientation from technogenic and economic to humanistic and environmental, outpaces the transformative activities of people. The quality of education is seen as a significant step towards European integration, because, first of all, promoting European cooperation in ensuring the quality of education is a requirement of the Bologna process; secondly, quality assurance of education is one of the leading conditions that promotes mobility, connectivity and attractiveness of the higher education system of any country, the main component of the prestige of higher education institutions; thirdly, the main responsibility for quality assurance lies with the institution of higher education in accordance with the principle of institutional autonomy.

The Right

The article defines that the education system depends on a balanced educational policy, competence of state decisions and correctly placed accents in determining strategic priorities. Achieving a new quality and development of the domestic educational system is impossible without significant changes in the system, processes, mechanisms of public education management. It is established that the quality of higher education is perceived differently by different subjects of the educational process. For students, it is, above all, the knowledge, skills and practical skills necessary for successful employment and career growth. When it comes to the employer, they associate quality education with the training of professionals who have the necessary competencies and are able to adapt to dynamically changing production conditions. It is emphasized that quality assurance should provide an educational environment in which the content of programs, educational opportunities and tools meet the goal. However, there are a number of problems in ensuring the quality of higher education in Ukraine. The main problems in ensuring the quality of higher education, as well as the quality of training in the Free Economic Zone of Ukraine are revealed. Among them are: systematic underfunding of the higher education system; inconsistency of the level of preparation of entrants to the requirements of higher education institutions; lag of Ukrainian higher education from a number of world and European trends in the development of higher education and improving its quality; the problem of employment of graduates, etc. It is proved that despite a number of regulatory regulations, specially created bodies, there are still problems that somewhat reduce the quality of higher education. The expected quality of education is formed under the influence of a set of conditions and factors that cover the methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of education management. The review of the problems shows that the way to quality higher education lies through its definition of the right standards, sufficient resource base, highly qualified staff, proper structural organization and effective management. One of the conditions for improving the quality of higher education is to strengthen the responsibility of universities for the results of their activities by expanding the democratic principle of their functioning and deepening autonomy.

This is reflected in the growing gap in the interests of the major participants in the innovation process - the initiators, organizers and perpetrators; weakened by motivational resource of educational innovations, in particular, because of the unjustifiable expectations of the changes taking place; It is also seen social and technological insecurity educational innovation. This actualizes the problem of optimization of social management innovation in higher education [2].   Keywords: State obligatory standard of education, European Higher Education Area, National Testing Center, Higher Education, Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute, Akkreditierung für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik, International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education
