Abstract
The article provides a comparative analysis of the availability of scientific and pedagogical staff at higher education institutions (HEIs) under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MESU) in the context of the armed aggression of the russian federation. The purpose of the article is to study the provision of scientific and pedagogical staff in HEIs, which is the most critical component of the education system, as the competitiveness of specialists in the labour market depends on it. The analysis is based on the financial and economic reports of HEIs, which are submitted quarterly to the State Scientific Institution "Institute of Educational Analytics". To achieve this task, the following methods were used: statistical and comparative analysis, systematisation and generalisation of data, graphics, etc. The key indicators analysed for the groups of HEIs included: the number of HEIs, the number of students, the average annual adjusted number of students, the number of positions for scientific and pedagogical staff, the total number of postgraduate and doctoral students, the number of postgraduate and doctoral students who defended their dissertations. The results of the analysis show that, despite the decline in the number of HEIs and the number of full-time equivalent scientific-pedagogical (pedagogical) staff, the adjusted annual average number of students is increasing. There is also a slow increase in the number of postgraduate and doctoral students studying with state funding. However, this growth is rather slow. Such dynamics indicate a lack of motivation among scientific and pedagogical staff to improve their qualifications. The number of doctoral students who have defended their dissertations has fallen significantly and is now a quarter of the pre-war level. This is due to serious obstacles, such as difficulties in accessing resources, changes in the organisation of the educational process and general problems caused by the war.
