EFFICIENCY OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGIONAL HIGHER SCHOOL

Resumo

The article reveals methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the regional system of higher education. Based on the methods of rating of national systems of higher education, some higher education institutions developed an algorithm that allows to determine the effectiveness of its development at the meso level, on the basis of the construction of individual sub-indexes, characterizing the relevant functional directions of development of higher education in the region. The implemented approach forms the basis for not only a comparative analysis of the development of regional higher education of the Russian Federation, but also can serve as the basis for the development of state regional policy in the field of higher education. Approbation of the proposed methods is implemented on the basis of the regions of the Volga Federal district. The results of the research allowed to identify, based on the proposed tools, the regions focused on leadership in higher education and science and the regions that need to stimulate the development of the higher school system in the identified areas. An important aspect of the work is a multicomponent dynamic analysis of the development of the regional system of higher education for 2018. The implementation of this stage of the study allowed to determine the main trends of the phenomena and processes studied in the work.
