INNOVATIVE DISCOURSE OF HIGHER AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN THE EXPONENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THE NEW BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

On the basis of the system analysis of the implementation in the Concept for the development of the national innovation system, developed and approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in 2009, it is stated that its efficiency is rather low. It is established that the main reason for this is inconsistent and low effectiveness of state, educational, scientific and innovation policy. It is proved that Ukraine needs today a new systemic innovation development strategy that should combine the efforts of power, business, education, science and become a guarantor of dialogue between them. The place and role of the educational-scientific subsystem in the national strategy of innovation development are outlined and the main problems of higher education and vocational education in the context of the training of innovative-oriented specialists are identified. It is substantiated that domestic education, in particular, higher education, can become the most important indicator of the quality of life in society, react effectively to exponential technologies and promote technological change in the business environment by making five radical steps. Realizing them, Ukrainian society has a chance in the medium term to ensure the introduction of the latest innovative technologies and to become significantly closer to the level and way of organizing the life of developed countries.
