INTRODUCTION
In the modern education system, the financial and economic activities of institutions play a
crucial role, directly affecting the quality and effectiveness of education. This process is relevant
for all educational institutions and ensures their sustainable development [1]. A distinctive
feature of educational institutions' financial activities is that they simultaneously serve as
providers of educational services and users of state funds. The efficient allocation and proper
management of financial resources require special attention, particularly in conditions of limited
financial resources.
Today in Uzbekistan, reforms in the education sector, including changes in the financial
management system, are being implemented at a rapid pace. Along with providing greater

financial independence to educational institutions, there is an increasing need to strengthen
accountability and transparency mechanisms [2]. Issues of rational use of funds, financial
planning, and establishing control are becoming priority tasks for the management of educational
institutions.
The purpose of this research is to theoretically reveal the essence of financial and economic
activities of educational institutions, identify the basic principles in the financial management
system, and analyze existing problems in this field.
METHODOLOGY AND LITERATURE REVIEW
The research employed methods of scientific-theoretical analysis, systematic approach,
comparative analysis, and examination of regulatory and legal documents in the field of
educational finance to study the theoretical foundations of financial and economic activities of
educational institutions. A wide range of scientific research, monographs, articles, and local and
foreign sources were studied.
Mirziyoyev and Jumaniyozov (2022) investigated the financial stability of educational
institutions and ways to ensure it [3]. The authors identified the main directions of reforms in the
financing system of educational institutions and emphasized the need to implement modern
methods of financial management.
Bekenov (2023) examined the specific features of analyzing financial reports of educational
institutions [4]. The scholar provided recommendations for improving the methodology of
conducting financial analysis in educational institutions and suggested ways to increase the
transparency of financial reporting.
Smith and Johnson (2021) researched effective mechanisms for resource allocation in the
education sector [5]. Based on the experience of developed countries, they recommended
innovative approaches to improve the effectiveness of financial management in educational
institutions.
Romanov (2023) studied the institutional foundations of financial management in educational
institutions and justified the need to improve the legal framework in this area [6]. According to
him, the legal basis of the financial management system significantly impacts the efficiency of
educational institutions.
Li and Wilson (2022) examined the processes of developing and implementing financial
strategies for educational institutions [7]. According to their conclusions, a long-term financial
strategy is essential for the sustainable development of educational institutions.
Yusupov (2024) studied issues of improving the financial control system in educational
institutions [8]. According to his research results, the effectiveness of the internal financial
control system directly affects the rational use of financial resources.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Financial and economic activity in educational institutions is a complex and multifaceted process
with a number of distinctive features. As a result of literature analysis, the following important
aspects were identified in this field:
First, a distinctive feature of educational institutions' financial activity is that they mostly operate
as non-profit organizations. This defines their main goal as providing quality educational
services rather than making a profit [9]. However, in conditions of limited financial resources,
educational institutions are forced to seek additional sources of funding, which involves them to
some extent in commercial activities.
Second, rational use of budget funds and maintaining their accounting is of particular importance
in the financial activities of educational institutions. The targeted use and effectiveness of budget
funds are under state control, and this process is regulated by special legislative documents [2].

At the same time, there is a growing tendency to grant financial independence to educational
institutions, which increases their freedom in making financial decisions.
Third, the main purpose of financial activities in educational institutions is aimed at improving
the quality of educational services and meeting the needs of learners. When distributing financial
resources, priority should be given to factors affecting the quality of education [7]. In this
process, the financial literacy and management skills of the educational institution's leader play a
crucial role.
Fourth, the financial stability of educational institutions is one of the main factors ensuring their
competitiveness. Financial stability determines the institution's ability to fulfill its obligations,
update its material and technical base, and develop innovative activities [5]. Therefore,
developing skills in financial planning and forecasting is of great importance.
Fifth, adherence to the principles of transparency and accountability in the financial activities of
educational institutions requires special attention. The correct and timely preparation of financial
reports, the reliability of financial information, and the effectiveness of the financial control
system directly affect the reputation of the educational institution [8].
Sixth, it is necessary to implement a risk management system in educational institutions for the
efficient use of financial resources. By developing mechanisms for assessing and managing
financial risks, it is possible to maintain financial stability in crisis situations [10].
The following directions are of priority importance for improving the financial and economic
activities in educational institutions:
1.
Modernizing the financial management system and implementing innovative financing
mechanisms;
2.
Improving the qualifications of educational institution leaders and financial staff;
3.
Improving the financial control and audit system;
4.
Developing methodology for financial planning and forecasting;
5.
Improving mechanisms for attracting extra-budgetary funds.
CONCLUSION
Based on the study of the theoretical foundations of financial and economic activities of
educational institutions, the following conclusions can be drawn:
The financial and economic activities of educational institutions are among the main factors
ensuring their sustainable development. Effective management of financial resources directly
affects the quality of education, the institution's image, and competitiveness. In modern
conditions, educational institutions are required not only to rationally manage their financial
resources but also to attract additional funds, develop financial strategies, and implement risk
management.
A comprehensive approach is necessary to improve the financial activities of educational
institutions. This includes modernizing the financial management system, ensuring transparency
in the financial decision-making process, strengthening financial control mechanisms, and using
modern information technologies.
Improving the financial literacy and management skills of educational institution leaders is of
great importance. It is necessary to organize special training programs and workshops on
managing financial resources, study foreign experience, and adapt it to local conditions.
In general, the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of financial and economic activities
in educational institutions are closely interconnected, and their effective integration ensures the
stability of the education system.
