Budgeting of the educational sphere of Ukraine: problems and prospects

Abstract

The current state of development of financial relations in education in the context of European integration and globalization processes, aimed at ensuring the competitiveness of educational services on an innovative basis, taking into account the needs of each individual. The main reasons for the aggravation of the competitive situation in the market of educational services in Ukraine should include: the growth in the number and market share of non-state educational institutions, which are characterized by greater mobility, a developed material and technical base, flexibility of pricing policy; the entry of Ukraine into the European educational and scientific space and, as a result, competition with foreign universities1. In addition, in the system of higher education, there is a reduction in the amount of state budget funding compared to the indicators of developed countries, due to the inconsistency of the minimum social standards. This necessitates the formation of a special fund and the inclusion of alternative sources of financial resources received for the services provided.
