In modern times, the education system is one of the main factors in the socio-economic
development of each state. Globalization and increased scientific development strengthen the
need to increase the competitiveness and effective management of education sector. Currently,
training of personnel with modern knowledge and skills, ensuring the quality and effectiveness
of education is one of the priority tasks facing each state.
What behaviors should educational organizations carry out in competition in the education
market?
First, it must be able to convince consumers that it is better than another area or other educational
organization.
Secondly, the costs of training specialists must be acceptable.
Third, education should be much cheaper to market access than others.
Fourth, they need to be able to attract the best teachers, because they pay more within the same
financial capacity.
The relationship between concepts such as strategy and competitiveness is interrelated.
Competitiveness can be expressed as "the use of talent and ability." Always losing in the
competitive struggle belongs to the weak educational organizations, which are considered weak
in every respect, and the educational service is classic. Therefore, with poor quality service, poor
quality education and technology, the results will not be high.
Therefore, in a competitive environment, the goal of an educational institution should have two
characteristics.
First, from the point of view of the external environment, what is needed to organize the process
of achieving goals in a competitive environment are the tools that serve education. These tools
directly contribute to ensuring the competitiveness of the educational institution. This

requirement applies to all resources in which the management of the educational institution
operates: students, personnel, the necessary resources, modern equipment and technologies,
buildings and structures.
Second, a clear management system based on competitiveness is important to achieve the
objectives of the educational institution's activities.
In modern market conditions, the management system will have the ability to create many
management effectiveness in response to changes in the external environment. This method of
selecting solutions that ensure the achievement of goals affects the object in the context of a
multiplicity of goals for the functioning of the educational institution. Therefore, success in
competition is a measure of the use of ability, which is determined by the characteristics of the
educational institution and the level of development of its management system. Competitiveness
has two key components: flexibility and innovation. Education understands the organization's
adaptation to external relations. As an innovative ability, it is manifested as a process of
continuous change and reorganization according to the criteria for speed, innovation creation or
application.
In other words, minimal actions are performed with consistent and non-standard processes to
achieve the goal. If flexibility leads to a change in the external environment of an educational
institution, innovation is the energy of such an impact that develops solutions aimed at
transforming activities based on the development of new elements during its operation.
Flexibility is suited to be in an environment that has specific characteristics. Innovation enters
and leads to complete change in all activities of the system structure.
Competitiveness in education means the ability of educational institutions to provide high-
quality education on the basis of international and national standards, the ability to train
personnel that meet modern requirements based on innovative approaches. A competitive
education system provides a platform for the successful operation of its graduates in the labor
market and their active participation in scientific and technological development.
Without an effective management system in educational institutions, it becomes difficult to
achieve the quality of education and competitiveness.
The management process includes:Strategic planning of the educational process;

Effective management also serves to support students' personal development and creative
abilities.

of
Uzbekistan
A large-scale reform is being carried out in Uzbekistan to develop the education sphere and
increase its competitiveness. In particular, measures to strengthen the material and technical base
of educational institutions, transition to a credit modular system, participation in international
rankings, and the introduction of modern educational technologies contribute to positive results.
However, there is still a need to work in such areas as improving the effectiveness of
management, systematic capacity development of pedagogical personnel, improving monitoring
of the quality of education.
The problems of competition in education management have not been sufficiently studied and
overlooked. Firstly, the excessive participation of the state in the management of education is
high and the mechanisms that serve to promote competitive relations by the state have not been
developed, which is manifested in the intervention of the state in the development of independent
activities and activities. Secondly, the transition to a market economy has led to a significant
increase in the price of goods and services and a decrease in quality. The fact that Hali still has a
state monopoly on education, which is manifested in highly centralization. In order to regulate
the creation and development of a competitive environment in education, a number of normative
legal acts are being adopted, which in turn creates a competitive environment.
In the conditions of modern economy, the need for professional personnel is growing sharply.
However, the education market is not always able to keep up with the delivery of such staff.
Therefore, almost everyone is enrolled. Expanded training of specialists and low level of training
of personnel lead to a decrease in the quality of activities of educational institutions. Insufficient
professional potential of teachers, their simultaneous employment with teaching and upbringing
leads to the collapse of some mechanisms in the education system. One of the main factors in the
decline in the quality of educational institutions is explained by the fact that educational
standards are not developed together by employers. Every educational institution has a
monopolist of its services and at the same time competitors. If an educational institution is given
all the opportunities over others, it becomes a monopoly.
An educational institution must refuse services in accordance with government requirements
standards that do not meet the requirements of the labor market. No one denies the need for a
state standard to establish the institutional boundaries of an educational institution. But if there is
almost no change, if the needs of the consumer are not met, then such services should be
abandoned.
In conclusion, ensuring competitiveness and effective governance in education is a fundamental
factor for the sustainable and continuous development of any society. In this regard, it is
important to improve the education system in accordance with modern requirements, the
introduction of innovative management methods and the use of international experience. It will
also be possible to strengthen the country's competitiveness on the global stage by improving the
quality of education and strengthening the effectiveness of management.
