Abstract

Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. However, the problems related to the study of the practical aspects of state regulation of higher education system in Ukraine are still not fully solved.The research objective. The aim of this article is to ground scientific approaches to the formation of organizational and economic mechanism of higher education system regulation in Ukraine.The statement of basic materials. Ukraine inherited the Soviet model of higher education system with, in fact, the only source of funding and full regulation of educational processes. During the years of independence, the state policy in the field of higher education is characterized by consistency, focus on the development of global civilization. Liberalization of public relations effected the reforming of higher education system and its adaptation to the new economic and social situation in the country.
