PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF UKRAINE

The transformational changes taking place in the state management of education are analyzed, and it is shown how they affect the state policy in the field of education management. It is analyzed how this contributes to the transition to the state-public character of education management and the autonomy of educational institutions and how it contributes to the development of organizational and legal forms of educational institutions. Thus, this necessitates the solution of such issues as the administrative and legal regulation of educational relations, the creation and development on the basis of the newest educational model in Ukrainian society of the educational policy strategy, which is a basic part of the state social policy. Since the development of the field of education is a determining condition for the functioning of any state, the issue of forming the state education policy is of important and strategic importance for the development of the state, ensuring scientific and technological progress and economic growth. Education acts as a basis that contributes to the constant development of science, culture, standards of public life and society. Formation and reproduction of human resources is impossible without education. That is why the policy in the field of education must be balanced and justified, otherwise the disorder in this field will pose a threat to the security of the state, society, and the individual, because a decrease in the educational level of the population leads to a decrease in the quality of human resources and the intellectual potential of society in general. The key idea of the article is that the future of the prosperous state of Ukraine largely depends on the development of national education. The study of the current state of state policy in the field of education and the prospects for its reform in order to improve quality can be used for further scientific research on this issue, for compiling manuals on the theory and practice of decision-making, public administration, management in the field of education. It is shown that the state policy in the field of education is the basis of the national policy with a comprehensive comprehensive system of measures of state institutions regarding purposeful management of the educational sphere, in order to improve the efficiency of its functioning and its prestige and importance in society.

Переход «школа-вуз»: человеческий капитал vs социальное неравенство

In the article, the author analyzes the social impact of the institutional transformation of the transition from secondary to higher education (the introduction of the Unified State Exam), taking place against the backdrop of an increasing stratification of educational organizations and programs of secondary and higher education. This leads to the reproduction of former and the manifestation of new forms of social inequality and territorial and settlement restrictions in access to higher education, which differs in terms of the quality and future economic benefits in the labor market. The data of statistics and sociological surveys show that two types of educational trajectories have developed. Graduation from high school, the use of the USE and enrollment in full-time education, especially in selective universities, is typical mainly for people from upper and middle strata. Completion of the 9th grade, intermediate studies in secondary vocational education and admission (bypassing the USE) to correspondence courses are much more common for representatives of families with reduced economic and sociocultural resources. Differences in the material and sociocultural status of the families of students and young people, which significantly determine the chances of access to a stratified higher school, are multiplying by interregional and settlement heterogeneity. As a result, the motivation and opportunities for obtaining higher education (valued by the labor market) among young people from low-resource families, small settlements, and remote territories are declining, and their push into the vocational education sector has been intensifying in recent years. All this leads to the deformation of the social function of higher education as an institution, the purpose of which is to form (based on natural abilities and cognition) the intellectual potential of society, capable of responding to various social challenges, including those urgent ones that have arisen before our country.

THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS A STRATEGIC FACTOR OF INTELLECTUAL SECURITY OF MODERN SOCIETY

A systematic analysis of the causes that gave rise to the modern crisis of civilization shows that one of them is a decrease in the intellectual potential of society, i.e. the ability of people, including the intellectual elite, to adequately understand, analyze and predict the possible consequences of their further development. The causes of this phenomenon have not been definitively established, although its existence and the relevance of the study do not cause doubts. It is obvious that we are talking about a humanitarian problem related to national and global security. The purpose of this work is to analyze the role of the Russian language in solving the problems of ensuring intellectual security in Russia and other countries. The main research methods used are the method of system analysis and an information approach that allows to reveal more deeply the essence of the cognitive potential of the Russian language and its significance for the development of the intellectual potential of the individual. It is shown that the Russian language has great cognitive potential, which can be effectively used in the conditions of a new global scientific and technological revolution and the formation of a knowledge society. Russian is considered to be a modern threat to the Russian language in Russia and in the world, in the post-Soviet space and abroad, including: the dominance of Anglicisms, criminalization of Russian speech, a decrease in the quality of teaching Russian language and literature, which does not contribute to the development of abstract and creative thinking abilities, weakening the position of philological education, which provides high quality education in general, as well as the connection of generations. Russian is a list of priority tasks that must be solved in order to preserve the Russian language as the most important factor of Russian culture and the intellectual potential of the individual in modern society. These include the improvement of the philological culture of modern Russian society. It is also concluded that Russia needs a new state policy of reunification of a divided nation, designed for the long term. And one of the tasks here should be the return of our former compatriots to their historical homeland. Russian language, Russian culture, and Russian language education preservation in the post-Soviet space is a necessary condition for the preservation of the national security of modern Russia in the future.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the importance of transversal competencies formation among specialists of innovative business structures in lifelong learning to ensure competitiveness of Ukrainian companies at the international level. Methodology. To achieve the goal, general scientific and special research methods were used: comparative analysis and generalization – to study the international experience of innovative business structures; synthesis of theoretical and empirical data – to characterize Ukrainian companies according to the innovation index; structural-functional and system analysis – to study the features of knowledge economy and form hard, soft and business skills. Results. In formation of business structures, Ukraine still uses traditional criteria, while in the world there are innovative approaches – companies "gazelles", clusters, etc. Characteristic features and problems of gazelle companies functioning are analyzed, in particular concerning the personnel component. It is proposed to consider successful enterprises as centers of new economic zones, around which related enterprises, promotion infrastructure, clusters should be purposefully built. It is determined that national economic competitiveness is associated with knowledge and innovation driven capital. Two approaches to the management of business structures are analyzed. The first is based on implementation of subject-subject relationships, development of innovative transversal competencies in order to expand managers' “breadth of management skills" through LLL-education. The second is the experience of innovative enterprises, where management is transformed into information management with its inherent impersonal post / non / management. Formation of the phenomenon of transversal competencies on the basis of LLL-education is analyzed. This is ensured by changes in hard skills, acquisition of new soft skills and integrated business skills, which contributes to the creation of a new generation of professionals.

It is determined that on the basis of formation of scientific and educational clusters, introduction of crowd technologies, crowdsourcing in education during life the professional development of experts of innovative business structures will be provided. Practical importance. The results of the research can be used in the creation of training programs, retraining, reskilling and changing types of work in the modern production space, which include provisions of knowledge economy for professional development of innovative business structures through lifelong learning. The basic postulates of research can be useful for managers whose companies implement innovative approaches to management, the latest technologies in production activities and promote mobility in retraining in accordance with sociel needs. Correlation/ originality. Conclusions reached will help economists, politologists, social scientists and LLL learning educators to understand the importance of innovative concepts in development business structures and formation transverse competencies based on hard, soft and business skills.
