Economic situation and prospects for the development of higher education in Ukraine in the context of post-war recovery

Анотація

The purpose of this study was to investigate the financial aspects of the functioning of higher education in Ukraine and to find ways to restore it in the post-war period. A study of the financial situation of Ukrainian higher education institutions, national, private, and international funding programmes was conducted. The study found that the restoration of higher education in Ukraine after the war is directly related to the resources and support strategies coming from public, private, and international sources. It was found that the physical destruction of universities does not exhaust the scope of the problem: in parallel, there is an outflow of teaching staff due to low salaries and insufficient prospects, as well as a deepening crisis of management models that are unable to respond quickly to the requirements of the post-war period. It was concluded that financial support and mechanisms for attracting private capital can only partially address the pressing issues, as more flexible learning formats and systemic changes in the organisation of the educational process are needed. In this regard, it was suggested that innovative approaches to education should be considered as one of the determining factors of sustainability, especially in terms of distance and blended learning formats that can help overcome the limitations of access to infrastructure. Therewith, regardless of the source of funding and the form of resource mobilisation, the need to preserve the scientific and pedagogical potential and to update the content of programmes to meet the challenges was identified. As a result, recommendations were formulated with a set of measures aimed at restoring the learning environment and its further development in the post-war period. The findings pointed to the need for a comprehensive approach to the restoration and modernisation of higher education in Ukraine through multichannel financing, updating curricula, and preserving the scientific and pedagogical potential
