Resume

Securing the accessibility of qualitative educational services at all levels is among the defining benchmarks of the impact of mechanisms regulating the educational institutions’ competitiveness. The category of accessibility in educational management acquires legal, social, and economic content. The legal content emphasizes the need to regulate the accessibility criteria generated by the respective human rights. Sociality specifies the opportunity to consume qualitative educational services for different groups of the population – following a set of national, demographic, valeological, status-related, financial, and settlement-related criteria. The economic content of educational services accessibility shows market (competitive) conditions that define the price parameters of various services under the impact of demand and supply depending on the level of state impact, while the population demonstrates different purchase power in relation to them. The article aims to examine the principles of free education in Ukraine and analyze the features of their impact on the competitiveness of educational institutions. It addresses the conceptual foundations of inclusive education in Ukraine. Various criteria of educational services accessibility are determined based on their consideration dimensions. The key human rights in education are generalized, including in terms of getting free access to them. The systemic measures in securing the competitiveness of education are substantiated. The educational accessibility criterion is determined based on the analysis of the Constitution of Ukraine and the National Education Development Doctrine, including in terms of provisions related to the maintenance of equal access of citizens to qualitative and free education. The analysis of the state policy in securing the realization of the right to free education in Ukraine has allowed outlining the major approaches and defining the nature of such a policy.
