Prospects and challenges of the non-governmental higher education system in a market economy
Abstract
The article is aimed at studying the prospects and problems of the non-state higher education system in the context of the Russian market economy. The historical background of the transformation of the country's economic model is investigated – the transition from the centralized planning of the Soviet Union to market mechanisms, which had a significant impact on the educational sphere. Special attention is paid to the specifics of the formation and functioning of private universities, their role in meeting the growing demand for educational services and adapting to the new realities of the economy. A comparative analysis of public and private higher education institutions is conducted on key aspects such as the quality of education provided, sources of funding, human resources and reputational characteristics. The difficulties faced by private universities, in particular the lack of government support and public trust, are considered. The importance of taking these factors into account in the development of educational policy is emphasized.
