Today, the higher education sector is an important factor in the socio-economic development of society and is the basis of modern knowledge and technologies. However, against the backdrop of globalization, technological innovations and economic changes, many problems are emerging in the management of the higher education system. Improving the quality of education, ensuring financial stability, introducing digital technologies and modernizing the personnel training system are among theurgent issues facing modern management. Successful implementation of higher education management determines not only the stability of the national education system, but also its position in international rankings. Therefore, there is a need to introduce advanced foreign experiences and modern innovative approaches to increase the effectiveness of educational management. This article is aimed at identifying modern problems encountered in higher education management and developing proposals for their solutions. The main focus of the study was on identifying factors that hinder the improvement of the quality of education, analyzing the importance of using innovative management technologies, and studying theroleof global trends in strategicdecision-making. To study the existing management models of the higher education system and identify differences between them, scientific articles, reports, and recommendations of international organizations were analyzed. Surveys were conducted among heads, teachers, and students of higher education institutions of Uzbekistan to study existing problems in management and their views on solutions. Statistical indicators related to the quality and management of higher education were analyzed based on data from state and international organizations. These indicators became the main tool for identifying management problems and determining ways to solve them. The experience of higher education management of advanced countries such as China, the USA, Germany, and South Korea was studied. These experiences were analyzed for adaptation tothenational education system. The main sources of information used in the study were reports on education by international organizations, including UNESCO, OECD and the World Bank, as well as statistical data and page1397 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue06,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai analyses of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education.
