Abstract

Relevance. The research relevance of quality modern education is determined by the exponential technological progress of the 21st century. Furthermore, the rational use of available resources is also relevant for national educational structures.

Purpose. The study aims to identify potential areas in the education system of the Republic of Azerbaijan that would attract and effectively manage additional resources.

Methodology. By using statistical analysis, comparison, synthesis and forecasting methods, a study of the actual indicators of educational institutions was conducted and the main trends were identified.

Results. The study identified trends in the development of the education system of Azerbaijan, such as the number of higher education institutions in operation, the dynamics of quantitative changes in the teaching and professorial staff in the context of public and private educational institutions, as well as the volume of funds allocated to education. Based on the obtained data, forecasts of further development and recommendations on the efficient use of resources in the sector were formed. The current situation with international education in the Republic of Azerbaijan was studied separately and an action plan for its expansion was developed. In the context of control over the rational use of funds and combating corruption, the systematic introduction of a separate staff unit of deputy director for resource management in the field of education was proposed.

Conclusions. The study identifies key trends in the development of Azerbaijan's education system and provides recommendations for the efficient use of resources. It highlights the need for rational resource management and proposes the introduction of a deputy director for resource management to combat corruption. Additionally, the study offers a plan to enhance the competitiveness of Azerbaijan’s education system in international markets.
