The paper shows the high efficiency of the Shanghai University Ranking for assessing the top quality of higher education and identifying national strategies for the development of the highest university potential across the world in 2003–2021. The strengths of this rating, which make it the most perfect today, are objectivity, validity, probability, reliability, transparency, clarity, parametric expediency, top-university mission compliance. Its application makes it possible to find out the main modifications of the university strategy–2 (strategy for the development of higher education of the highest quality). The most groundbreaking were France’s strategic initiative to concentrate university resources by merging leading universities and China’s strategy to consolidate universities and to provide strong targeted support to leading institutions. Concomitantly, in Japan, the lack of a holistic national strategy has led to multiple losses for both world-class universities (in the top 500 group) and extra-class universities (in the top 30 group). Shanghai University Ranking showed an intensification of competition in the field of top higher education. The number of countries represented by universities in the top 30, top 100 and top 500 groups has increased. The US position has deteriorated, although it remains the world’s absolute university leader. The second place is occupied by the United Kingdom. France moved to third place. As stated by the Shanghai University Ranking, Ukraine is increasingly lagging behind the progress of higher education in the world, is not included in the list of 63 countries / territories of the general version and up to 93 countries / territories of the sectoral (54 academic subjects) version of the 2021 rating. Ukraine needs the urgent development and implementation of national strategy-2 for the development of higher education.
