Abstract

At present, public funding for higher education studies is not sufficient to ensure qualitative and competitive training, and the personal financial resources of the population are too modest to pay for the study fees in line with the real financial costs incurred by the educational institution. In this context, based on the internationally developed trends, there is a need to seek alternative methods of financing studies, in order to develop the local educational human capital and to improve the quality of life. Keywords: higher education funding, human capital contract, education fund, social impact bond.
