Abstract

The system of higher education has always been socially responsible to any society. Currently applied in Ukraine, martial law complicates the conditions of delivering higher education services. According to the analysis results, universities should choose alternative systems of providing educational services depending on the proximity of military operations. Factor analysis revealed significant indicators of quality and social responsibility in higher education provision; the cluster analysis classified the territories according to their actual level of social responsibility according to the location of the universities; the game theory has optimised the social responsibility system of service provision. The study developed two models: clustering the quality of higher education services under martial law and optimising higher education services according to the level of social responsibility. The identified 6 clusters differ in terms of the standard of quality and safety/social responsibility of higher education services. Based on Ukrainian universities, implementing the developed methodology was achieved as of the spring 2022. As revealed by monitoring of the situation, 32 percent of universities are able to provide higher education services at a sufficiently high level. The aim of the study is to optimise the provision of high quality and socially responsible higher education under martial law. The potential beneficiaries of the research results are students and teachers of Ukrainian higher education institutions located in territories under various degrees of military threats. Optimising the social responsibility system of service provision will improve the quality and reliability by 10 per cent and identify points of growth and stabilisation of at least 15-20 percent.
