PROBLEMS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION
At present, Russian higher education is in the process of transforming the model of its further development due to changing socio-political and economic conditions. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the legal and strategic contours of the solution, the actual socio-economic problem of low efficiency of interaction between society and the system of higher education in the process of implementation of educational programs. The Law "On Education in the Russian Federation" has established the realization of public interests as the purpose of higher education. At present, there is an obvious need to harmonize the interests of all actors in higher education through the establishment of effective interaction. At the same time, a few norms of legal and strategic documents stipulate only the need for employers' participation in the processes of training specialists, moreover, specific mechanisms of public involvement in the implementation of educational programs of higher education are not proposed or regulated. The object of the study is a set of normative legal acts and strategic documents regulating the functioning and development of higher education. The subject is the completeness and effectiveness of state regulatory impact on the development of public participation processes in higher education. To identify the vector of interaction between society and higher education in legal regulation and strategic planning, the article describes the norms that directly or indirectly mediate the subject of research. According to the results of the study it is noted that in the absence of terminological uniformity the interpretation of the analyzed processes in the state acts is different. There is a lack of understanding of the problem of low efficiency of interaction between universities and the public in the current state regulation of higher education.
