The research paper presents the results of research on the development and implementation of innovations in the system of higher education. The factors that significantly influence the process of development and introduction of innovations in the system of higher education are analyzed. It is noted that educational innovations in the system of higher education should be aimed at improving existing educational means and methods of training, forming future professionals with appropriate professional competence, creating conditions for the disclosure of creative potential of higher education graduates. It is proved that the system of higher education should be developed solely on an innovative basis, which is a key condition for the high quality of education (educational activity). First of all, educational innovations should be implemented at the level of higher educational institutions, whose task is to prepare an innovative oriented specialist suitable for independent work in non-standard conditions, and the task of the state (in the person of state authorities and administration) is to create a proper organizational and economic mechanism for development and implementation of educational innovations.
