М.А. ЧелакРеспублика Беларусь, Пинск, ПолесГУ Научный руководитель – В.В. Ширяев THE ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTThe article presents actuality of the role of higher education in the economic development. Higher education has already become an important element in modern society. There is now growing awareness in the developing economies of the important role which higher education plays in any progress in the reason of socio-economic growth, improvement of professional and managerial staff with advanced training to support business. It is known that higher education is the primary source of talent for the economy. Higher education also has a significant role in the development of the next generation that will drive innovation and growth in the creative economy. In particular higher education research contributes to the development of the creative economy in other ways, for example higher education helps to expand the understanding of how creative businesses create value, and how their markets operate. There are no researches which reconstruct the picture of establishment and development of the national economy without higher education, science and research as a whole. Social science and humanities research centers at the universities are actively engaged in this research and they influence and inform policy that can stimulate creative economy growth much better. First of all, most people understand that higher education will help them to earn money. A lot of people get higher education and study what they need for their future profession and as a result of that it has influence on employment. People with higher education typically earn more and have a lower likelihood of being unemployed. For example in 2011, the typical worker with just a bachelor’s degree earned about $1,000 a week, roughly two-thirds more than those with only a high school diploma in the US. The unemployment rate for workers with a bachelor’s degree was 4.9 percent, about half of the rate for people with only a high school diploma [1, p. 45]. It should be noted that higher education makes a critically important contribution to innovation in the economy through research in an expanding range of academic disciplines. This is evident in a number of important ways:
Statistical analysis, case study, and common observation all point to the fundamental importance of higher education to development. Higher education promotes the following: • Income growth: The vitality of higher education is a fundamental– and increasingly important– determinant of a nation’s position in the world economy. It contributes to labor productivity, entrepreneurial energy, and quality of life; enhances social mobility; encourages political participation; strengthens civil society; and promotes democratic governance. It does this by creating public goods such as new knowledge, and by providing a safe space for the free and open discussion of the values that define the character of a nation’s development. Higher education’s contribution to growth, therefore, means better living standards for people at all levels of a society [3, p. 65]. • Creating new technology: In a knowledge economy, higher education can help economies keep up or catch up with more technologically advanced societies. Higher education graduates are likely to be more aware of and better able to use new technologies. They are also more likely to develop new tools and skills themselves. Their knowledge can also improve the skills and understanding of non-graduate coworkers, while the greater confidence and know how inculcated by advanced schooling may generate entrepreneurship, with positive effects on job creation. • Enlightened leaders: Higher education can give leaders the confidence, flexibility and technical skills needed to effectively confront the economic and political realities of the twenty-first century. It also generates cadres of well trained teachers for all levels of the education system. • Expanding choices: Development is fundamentally concerned with expanding choices which people can make. As such, an accessible higher education system– offering a wide range of quality options for study is a major achievement, bolstering social mobility and helping the talented to fulfill their potential. • Increasingly relevant skills: Higher education is absolutely necessary for training scientists, engineers, and others to help invent, adopt, and operate modern technology in all sectors. When scientists in developing countries are inspired to define and local problems, they are likely to contribute to appropriate solutions in such vital areas as environmental protection, the prevention and treatment of illness, industrial expansion, and infrastructure provision. In conclusion the article shows that the higher education system is extremely valuable. One reason that it is extremely valuable is that it offers many great financial benefits. Another reason is that it makes individuals more intelligent and clever. People who get higher education also have more opportunities available to them than those who are not involve in science. The author underlines that it is important to perfect the necessary economic development in association with higher education in the following ways: 1) to improve the legal and regulatory framework; 2) to increase the number of higher education institutions; 3) to develop a training system of staff which works in higher education institutions; 4) to develop the relationship between higher education institutions and industry.
