Summary

Introduction

The geopolitical challenges which unexpectedly and insidiously struck Ukraine have had a very negative impact on both economic and social situation in the country. With the obtained of financial and economic autonomy, domestic universities and institutes are forced to quickly learn to survive under conditions of fierce competition To do this, they need to significantly increase the efficiency of commercialization of educational and research services offered in the market. Tens of thousands of graduates of Ukrainian schools began to actively enter higher education institutions in neighboring Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic, where, upon completion their course of studies they are trying to profitably sell the acquired knowledge and skills in the European labor market The consequence of such processes is the irreparable loss of highly-trained youth, as well as the threat of stagnation to their own educational sphere. According to the data of the information system "Competition", the licensed amount of places in the higher education institutions of the I-IV levels of accreditation of our state in recent years was significantly higher than the number of all applications submitted by applicants and significantly exceeded the amount allocated by the state budget places (Table 1)
