Improvement of the internal system of quality assurance of the educational process of high schools

The article notes that the system of higher education, as well as other spheres of social and economic life of Ukraine, faced numerous challenges during the war. Despite this, it is necessary to continue its reformation, because it is the educational sphere that will play an important role in ensuring the quality of the country’s future post-war life through full entry into the European educational space, ensuring the achievement of the UN sustainable development goals in the field of education (to which Ukraine joined as a country-member of the UN), training of citizens who will build the post-war economy and protect democratic values for a society. At the same time, national higher education needs to take into account world trends affecting the future of education: globalization, digitalization, aging of the population, and also focus efforts on improving the quality of the educational process directly in higher education institutions. In this context, the main documents that are currently used in the field of higher education reform by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine, the National Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education, namely: "Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in Ukraine for 2021-2031" and "Recovery Plan of Ukraine. Education and science", developed taking into account the main problems of the higher education sphere. In order to systematically support the quality of the educational process in higher education institutions (the necessity of which is emphasized in both mentioned documents), the authors proposed an appropriate diagnostic tool for the internal quality assurance system, namely, an analysis of the expert opinion of key stakeholders (internal and external) of the educational process according to five main parameters: educational ambition, effective leadership, teacher collaboration, supportive educational environment, stakeholders involvement. Such an analysis will allow higher educational institutions, relying on the perception of the educational process by its main stakeholders, to maintain a high-quality educational environment, to establish a comprehensive system for assessing the quality of the educational process, and to lay the foundation for actions to improve it
