Abstract:
The article examines the foreign experience of development of higher education institutions according to the principles of sustainability. The main principles of stimulation of higher education institutions for development according to the concept of sustainable development are analyzed. The major barriers, trends and ways of further development of foreign universities in the implementation of the principles of sustainable development are allocated. The article proposes an organizational mechanism for stimulating the development of higher education institutions on the principles of sustainability with an outline of the principles that underlie their sustainable development; motivating factors; constraints; issues addressed by sustainable universities and measures to encourage universities to develop according to the principles of sustainability. The prospects and advantages of the development of higher education institutions according to the principles of sustainable development are outlined: the introduction of the principles of sustainable development in the educational process; development of a comprehensive sustainable development plan, which clearly states the goals and objectives of the university for sustainable development; promoting the use of renewable energy sources; concentration on various aspects of recycling that help reduce waste generation and save resources; introduction of green construction standards based on the principles of energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as the implementation of water conservation measures through the use of the best international experience. Among the main trends in the development of foreign higher education institutions according to the principles of sustainability are: integration of the conception of sustainability into the educational process of higher education institutions; leadership development; creation of sustainable development centers; the propagation of sustainable universities; intensification of cooperation between educational institutions. Attention is focused on that that foreign universities actively involve all participants in the educational process and other stakeholders in promoting the implementation of the principles of sustainability, thereby ensuring the continuity of sustainable development of the country and its regions.
