The role of higher education in the development of society

Abstract

Modern society requires a modern system of education. Why is the education chosen one? Because education is a key function of a society. In the 21st century, higher education institutions in the Republic of Northern Macedonia have one of the most important roles in shaping the future of the development of society. By analogy, the parts of the system called society, should be changed to the extent of modernization, which will be able to remain in the same system itself. Studies show that the strong system of higher education is a significant cause of the country's ability to compete in the global market and is crucial for the development of the economy, social well-being and democratic freedom. Therefore, speak in modern society - the modern education system works successfully by modernizing the management system. Permanent socioeconomic change, rapid scientific development, and especially the expansion of new technologies assume a competent workforce that is able to effectively participate in social processes and use available technology. First, the concept of connection between knowledge, research and technological development as inseparable components in higher education should be accepted. Developed societies thus become societies that learn, societies that rely on knowledge and in which education is an instrument of overall social development. For these reasons, continuous changes in higher education becomes imperative in the overall socio-economic development of the overall system.
