ADMINISTRATION OF A HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION UNDER MODERN CONDITIONS

The article deals with the necessity of administration of a higher educational institution on the basis of risk-management. The review of scientific literature in the fields of pedagogy, administration and economics has shown that most domestic scholars consider the phenomena of risk-management and risk administration as synonyms. Risk-management is not a direct administration of risks, it is administration of an educational institution regarding all possible risks. It is one of the directions of modern management, dealing with the issues of risk-management in educational institution’s activities. The following advantages of risk-management have been distinguished: it is the basis for the increasing of the efficiency of strategic planning; improves the efficiency/performance of a higher educational institution’s activity; contributes to wider openness of authorities’ work and improves the communication; provides the authorities with the brief overview of all risks a higher educational institution faces with; contributes to the prevention of risks at an educational institution, giving education managers an efficient and consistent methodology of risks study. Modern domestic experience in the field of risk-management at educational institutions demonstrates the lack of skills in revealing risks, as well as the lack of the systemic comprehension of the bonds between different kinds of risks, insufficient understanding of the scripts of “the worst sequence of events”. It has been found that Ukrainian educational institutions do not fully use the coordination of functions between decreasing a number of risks and risk-management financing. When making strategic decisions one does not consider risk-management and do not perform an internal audit aiming at obtaining the all-round analysis of activity.
