The article analyzes some general trends and outlines strategic benchmarks of the domestic dimension for reforming the educational sphere. In the context of modern theoretical paradigms, globalization, innovation, quality of education as trends that actualize and cause reform educational processes in Ukraine are distinguished. Globalization poses a challenge for education in general and for national educational systems, in particular, a number of problems that require a speedy response both at the state level and at the level of civil society institutions. The answer to them should be the leitmutif of further reform of the domestic educational sector, where the key position is not the unification of higher education, but wide access to the diversity of educational, scientific and cultural achievements of other countries, a deep combination of educational and scientific activities. We are talking about a new philosophy of education and science, learning and education, new approaches, goals and priorities, that is, a new paradigm for the development of higher school. In terms of innovation, the education system must change the paradigm of building and functioning, steadily moving into a river ahead of education, when scientific knowledge, changing its orientation from technogenic and economic to humanistic and environmental, outpaces the transformative activities of people. The quality of education is seen as a significant step towards European integration, because, first of all, promoting European cooperation in ensuring the quality of education is a requirement of the Bologna process; secondly, quality assurance of education is one of the leading conditions that promotes mobility, connectivity and attractiveness of the higher education system of any country, the main component of the prestige of higher education institutions; thirdly, the main responsibility for quality assurance lies with the institution of higher education in accordance with the principle of institutional autonomy.
