THE ESSENCE AND FUNCTIONS OF STATE REGULATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES MARKET

The article examines the essence and functions of state regulation of the educational services market. It is determined that state regulation of the educational services market is a non-market method of regulating economic relations that arise between market participants in the process of production, exchange and consumption of educational services, which is expressed in the creation and change of formal restrictions and control mechanisms. In other words, state regulation represents the influence of the state on the institutional matrix of the educational services market, and this influence is implemented through administrative and economic instruments. Under the state regulation of the educational services market in Ukraine, we will understand the regulation of the market of non-state universities and the provision of educational services by state institutions within the framework of budget funding. The state acts as a subject of market relations if state universities provide paid educational services within the framework of state educational standards and those that are not included in them, which is the internal market in the system of budget financing. However, it should be noted that the domestic market is also regulated by the state through legal instruments.
