Influence of State Policy on the State of Higher Education System in Ukraine

Abstract

The task of the authors of this article is to assess the implications of the state policy of Ukrainian governments for the country's higher education system. The author researched the legislative acts determining the institutional conditions of educational activities, as well as information contained in the reports of the State Statistics Service since 1995. It was found that along with the positive consequences of reforms in higher education, they were accompanied by threats to educational institutions. They should be taken into account not only by the developers of the state educational policy, but also by the providers of educational services in order to make amendments to the strategies developed by them. Otherwise, the country will face a slowdown in the expanded reproduction of intellectual capital required by the economy. The information base of the study consisted of the reports of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Methods of statistical analysis and graphical visualization of trends were used for data processing and interpretation.
