WORLD ACADEMIC OPINION: NEW ISSUES OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Understanding that education and research are key factors in improving the quality of life and stimulating economic and social development coexist with the expectation of new challenges in the development of higher education, the list of which in part varies from country to country, but basically has a common set of problems - financial, recruiting, technological, but primarily related to quality standards, compliance with the requirements of new conditions of modern life.

Universities would very much like to preserve their monopoly on educational activities, allowing them to survive and develop in difficult economic, political, and demographic circumstances, but not always and not everyone succeeds. This is evidenced by the competition between various universities, spilling beyond the borders of the state borders into the world academic space.

Many experts in the field of education and university leaders believe that in the future students will appreciate personal participation in universities even more than they do now, and that university science will be developed primarily by people and not by artificial intelligence. Another trend in the development of higher education is the growing popularity of professional courses and a decrease in interest in MOOCs.
