Abstract:
In the cited article, the unity of the general and professional development of
the individual is one of the basic principles of human development, the essence of which can be
considered as a concept that serves not only during the educational process, but also in the
process of acquiring knowledge, developing their general and special abilities, qualities and
skills, as well as in the professionalization and further improvement of the formed knowledge,
qualities, abilities, etc. Our analysis of the current state of higher education reveals the following
principles of modernization of education: globalization and internalization; forecasting and
utilization; marketization; standardization; territorialization; axiologization, etc. It is worth
noting that higher education is important not only in terms of modernization, but also from the
point of view of reforms and innovative development. Ways of further expanding and
implementing this important factor were shown.
