The article analyzes the long stagnation of the national higher education and estimates its causes and mechanisms of overcoming. According to the criteria of the general and subject versions of the ARWU rating, there are no world-class and subworld-class universities in the country, and there is a lag behind other countries. As ranked by the less objective Times and QS the position of the group of universities has worsened. The Ukrainian network of higher education institutions is quantitatively excessive, qualitatively unsatisfactory. This is due to its repeated duplication, profile inadequacy, fragmentation, institutional weakness. State policy and strategy, contrary to global trends, does not declare the introduction of a national university ranking in the short term. Due to the lack of rating inventory of institutions, society does not clearly identify leading universities and loser universities, suffer from poor higher education, inefficiently spend significant financial and human resources. The priority need for Ukraine to formulate a culture of reliable, objective university rating, the creation of a national rating as a mechanism for assessing the quality of higher education that motivates and mobilizes for continuous institutional improvement, achievement of competitiveness, consolidation of institutions and concentration of resources. It is proposed to launch a national rating of higher education institutions of general, sectoral and regional versions, ranking universities by level of leadership - global, regional, national, subnational, local.
