The article defines the sequence of assessing the competitiveness factors of the agricultural sector (economic, international, political and legal, technological, social and natural climatic). The scientific approaches to the formation of the mechanism of the strategy realization of ensuring the competitiveness of the agrarian sector of Ukraine are substantiated. In the internal environment of such a mechanism is an interconnected complex of basic components and subordinate elements that reflect the specifics of modern market concepts in agricultural production aimed at ensuring the effective development of the agricultural sector and ensuring food security of the country. An integrated system for managing the competitiveness of the agricultural sector contributes to economic activities, improving product quality and ensuring food security. The article investigates that the agro sphere needs the state support in the reorganization of industrial and economic ties, in particular in the development of various forms of cooperation (including credit), organization of wholesale agro-food markets and the development of the agricultural market infrastructure. In such circumstances, it is essential to significantly expand the state regulatory functions, especially in terms of price regulation, in particular the support of prices for agricultural products, as well as in the strategic programming of the agricultural sector development.The purpose of the article is to investigate and analyze the complex mechanism of implementation of the strategy of ensuring the competitiveness of the agrarian sector of Ukraine as the main task of state policy.

Nowadays, the procedures for stimulating the improvement of the quality of higher education in Ukraine are mainly based on periodic expert evaluations. Besides, existing metrics of university efficiency are usually imperfect due to the frequent negative effects of Campbell’s Law and Goodhart’s Law. In addition, the war significantly limited resources for external quality assurance of educational programs. Given this, the aim of this paper was to develop a methodology for an additional self-regulation system of continual improvement of the quality and efficiency of educational activities of Ukrainian universities. The study is based on the advantages of the quantitative approach, measurement methods, and algorithmization in the management system of higher education. As a result, key indicators for the formation of national rankings have been developed by different segments. Moreover, the study elaborated algorithms and mechanisms to constantly encourage higher education institutions to improve quality and efficiency. The paper proposes preventive procedures to reduce the negative effects of unfair achievement of key performance indicators. The result of applying the methodology is additionally acquired or partially lost by the university the volume of license rights for the training of specialists in the current year. This will help curb the process of mass education with a low level of quality. In addition, the proposed system will balance the weaknesses of the accreditation expertise procedure, as well as actively stimulate the independent striving of each educational program for sustainable development and continual progress.
