Abstract

The successful functioning of higher education institutions is impossible in isolation from the cost-and-bridge criteria, since it is the value that is the most important characteristic of economic relations in the conditions of which there are higher educational institutions in the modern realities. A significant reduction in the volume of funding for HEIs and the neutralization of tax privileges for higher education establishments direct universities to independently ensure an appropriate level of profitability of activities, which automatically turns educational services into the main source of income for institutions of higher education. A specific feature of educational services for undergraduate programs in public educational organizations as a subject of economic relations is the different plans of target consumer audiences. Pressure on state educational institutions from the market and power structures leads to the fact that institutions of higher education cease to be special social institutions, they are increasingly subject to the same rules of the game that exist for market production and commercial enterprises. Market relations in the sphere of Russian higher education contribute to exacerbating competition between higher education institutions, which makes it necessary for universities to achieve the optimal cost-benefit ratio, which is impossible without the availability of an effective tool for the formation of the value of the main product of the productive activity of higher education institutions-educational services. The cost of contractual training is considered as an assessment-exchange relationship between the subjects of the market of contractual training on the equivalence of resources spent on the production of educational services, the cost of contract training in higher education, which causes the introduction of the linguistic variable "the level of compliance of costs of the main agents of the education sector with their expectations."
