Three Characteristic Features of the East European Educational Services Market

The purpose of the study was to explore three characteristic features of the East European educational services market. The study was carried out since December 2018 till January 2020. The following research methods were used in the work: empirical methods, methods of theoretical analysis and methods of social statistics. The results have a few significant implications for science and practice. For the first time three characteristic features of the East European educational services market were explored in the study: 1. The first characteristic feature of the East European educational services market is lack of strong research on higher education challenges. 2. The second characteristic feature of the East European educational services market is lack of the definition of "educational services" in the legislation of East European countries. 3. The third characteristic feature of the East European educational services market is weakness. The results are highly statistically significant (0.01). In this sense, the decision-making process is with accurate, controlled probability. Hence, some recommendations for the Governments of East European countries were generated: The governments should provide funding for research on the educational services market, and the governments should add the definition "educational services" to the normative legal acts.
