Ukraine’s higher education system development tendencies

Abstract. The authors analyze the official statistical data characterizing the activity of Ukrainian higher educational institutions (HEI) of III-IV accreditation levels. Innovative development of the national economy mostly depends on the development of the higher education system as a training, research, commercialization, innovation transfer system. Key trends in the development of the modern higher education system of Ukraine are specified as follows: diversification of HEI financing sources; lifelong learning tendencies; the share of population with higher education increase; predominance of the students on economic, education and juridical areas of training over the numbers of students enrolled in technical specialties; optimization of HEI network; highly qualified personnel maintenance of educational process; increased number of foreign students. The main problems are: insufficient level of the higher education system and the labor market consistency; low rates of youth unemployment in Ukraine; insufficient funding of universities; insufficient development level of material-technical base and infrastructure of the higher educational institutions in Ukraine.
