Resume

The article reveals the laws of harmonious development and state regulation of universities. The justification of the necessary prerequisites for the manifestation of such regularities is presented. The description of the components and laws that together form the prerequisites for the harmonious development of universities as a natural phenomenon is provided. The scheme of the laws of harmonious development and state regulation of the university activity is proposed.
The financial-economic component is identified as dominant in ensuring the harmonious development of universities, since the formation of a financing mechanism is one of the methods that ensure the development of higher education. The modern approach to financial support of the activity of higher education in Ukraine is described.
The importance of innovative activity of higher educational institutions in education and science is emphasized, since the developed educational and scientific sector serves as the most important prerequisite for the intellectual development of human capital and the growth of the level of innovation potential of the country as a whole. The importance of the introduction of innovative educational technologies in higher educational institutions is emphasized, focusing on information and telecommunication technologies. At the same time, the question of observance of the principle of balance in the use of telecommunication opportunities in the educational sphere, which is associated with a decrease in the demand for human intellectual resources, is actualized. The need to attract investment in higher education is emphasized.
Special attention is paid to the necessity of conducting environmental research in higher educational establishments as the formation of skills of such activities is one of the priorities of nowadays, as indicated in the National Doctrine of Education Development in the XXI Century and the Concept of Environmental Education of Ukraine.
It is established that the harmonious development of the University is a logical consequence of the considered components, which, at the same time, are realized as a result of the laws that ensure their manifestation. In this case, the priority need for compliance with the law of proportionality in higher education is indicated. It is emphasized that as a result of the development and improvement of the social regulation of the economy, the proportionality becomes constant, systematic, and the law of proportionality is gradually modified into the law of regularity. A similar norm is typical to the functioning of the system of higher education. The law of proportionality in conjunction with other laws, including the laws of nature, gives reason to consider proportionality as a regularity.
The necessity of a comprehensive approach to the implementation of the laws and regulations considered by the higher educational institutions is indicated, which allows to see the process of functioning of educational institutions as a holistic phenomenon and provides qualitative preparation for the professional activity of future specialists.
The need to further study the laws of harmonious development and state regulation of the University activities in order to reconcile the ideological and conceptual direction and the existing state of functioning of the system of higher education in Ukraine is emphasized.
