Abstract

The scientific article is devoted to determining the legal principles of state supervision in the sphere of higher education. The norms of legislative and by-laws regulating state supervision and educational activities are studied. The works of scientists who studied the features of state supervision in various economic spheres are analyzed. During the preparation of the article, both general scientific and specialized legal research methods were employed. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of legal regulation governing state supervision in the field of higher education.

It is proposed to define state supervision in the sphere of higher education as the activity of authorized bodies to identify and prevent violations of the requirements of legislation on higher education, which is carried out within the limits of their powers and in the procedure specified by Ukrainian legislation.

The features of legal regulation of state supervision in the sphere of higher education are established: the powers to exercise state supervision in higher education institutions are granted to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine; supervision over compliance with licensing conditions for educational activities is carried out exclusively by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine; special criteria have been established by which the degree of risk from conducting economic activities in the sphere of higher education is assessed; special requirements have been determined for the content of a unified act drawn up as a result of a planned measure of state supervision in the sphere of higher education. It is emphasized that the grounds for unscheduled inspections of the State Supervision Service of Ukraine are established not by the legislation on state supervision, but by the legislation on education.

It is proposed to make certain amendments to the current legislation to improve the legal regulation of state supervision in the sphere of higher education: to delimit the subject of state supervision of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the State Supervision Service of Ukraine in higher education institutions; to develop and approve a special procedure for conducting unscheduled inspections of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine; to determine whether the educational ombudsman has the right to run scheduled or unscheduled inspections of higher education institutions by the legislation on state supervision in the sphere of economic activities.
