Foreign experience in financing educational institutions

Abstract

Education is a strategic resource for the socio-economic and cultural development of society, improving the well-being of the population, ensuring national interests, strengthening the reputation and competitiveness of the state in the international arena. In the context of the modern trend of forming a knowledge economy, this has led to the recognition of the particularly important role of the "human" factor, which forms the basis of the "intellectual capital" of society.

One of the urgent problems of the national economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the formation and maintenance of a high level of its competitiveness. The above postulate is enshrined in the Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030" and other state programs aimed at modernizing the country's economy. Education and science play an important role in solving this problem. In accordance with the state policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the development of education, the sphere of education, primarily basic education, should become the main direction of public services to support the innovative development of the economy of the republic.

The study of the development of the higher education system is especially relevant in the context of changing the role of the human factor and the requirements for it formed in the higher education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The change in the approach to training professional personnel is determined by the dynamics of the socio-economic environment, innovative forms of functioning of economic and social systems.

In addition, in the current context of Kazakhstan's integration into the global educational space and the need to increase the efficiency of budget expenditures, the study of foreign experience in financing educational institutions is particularly relevant. This will allow us to identify the most effective models of management and adapt them to the national context.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of foreign models of financing education and identify the possibilities of their application in the conditions of Kazakhstan.
