Introduction. Deeply controversial
processes of economic internationalization,
unprecedented in scale, shock waves of glo-
balization and regional integration require
new national and regional strategies and mod-
els of future development. Many countries
have used the cluster approach to building and
implementing national innovation programs.
Clusters have proved to be solid background
for building national competitive advantages
by optimizing the use of economic capacities.
The clustered businesses can benefit from col-
laborative activities aimed at increasing the
output of existing products and developing
new ones that are in demand.
Modern education requires searching
for and implementing innovative approaches
to building a new regional policy on educa-
tion and modernization of its management
system. A principal difference between the
modern education system and the previous
ones is in special conditions created for com-
bining public and private forms for manage-
ment of education system. The cluster sys-
tem of education is a significant part of the
innovations designed to intensify regional
development. After all, education must be
regarded as part of the regional socio-eco-
nomic entity, which covers various functional

elements where services of many entities of
the regional infrastructure are involved: edu-
cation, culture, health care, sports, environ-
ment, technology etc.
The article aims at theoretical and metho-
dological grounding of the role of educa-
tion clusters in economic development and
analysis of their impact on competitiveness
enhancement of national economies, with
emphasis on Ukraine.
Discussion. Foreign and domestic scho-
lars E. Bergman, E. Fezer have developed
the theoretical assumptions concerning the
formation and development of clusters, their
studies are devoted to the identification and
evaluation of clusters; M. Enright, S. Rosen-
feld has developed the theory of industrial
organization and integration of productive
forces; B. Milner, A. Toffler worked on the
theory of regional science and technology

Education Clusters: The Ukrainian Context
The study aims at theoretical and methodological grounding of the role of education clusters
in economic development and analysis of their impact on competitiveness enhancement of national
education systems, with emphasis on Ukraine. A review of theoretical approaches to interpretation
and definition of the notion “education cluster” is made. Information about entities that may be
incorporated in education cluster, objectives and expected results of education clusters is given;
their advantages compared with traditional education system and their significance in the regional
context are shown. Examples of education clusters and research and education clusters currently
operating in Ukraine are given.
Keywords: education cluster, professional education, education system, education institution,
research and education cluster, research and development.

Cluster building processes were also
studied by Ukrainian theorists and practices
such as Y. Bazhal, E. Bezvushko, I. Brizhan,
S. Bushuev, V. Verhun, M. Voynarovsky,
V. Nikolaev, V. Vorotin, S. Doroguntsov,
M. Dudchenko, R. Zablotska, N. Ka-
nischenko, A. Kanischenko, L. Kisterskyy,
A. Kredisov, S. Kunitsyn, S. Lutsyshyn, S. Mosk-
vin, S. Mocherny, M. Petrushenko, V. Saw,
K. Poychenko, A. Rogach, A. Rumyant-
sev, C. Sokolenko, D. Stechenko, S. Sutyrin,
A. Filippenko, V. Chevhanov, V. Chuzhykov,
A. Chmyr, S. Tsyganov, A. Shnyrkov, A. Yu-
danov and others. The attention of those stud-
ies was focused on the specifics of industrial
clusters and creating their efficiency in services.
Education cluster is a set of professional
education institutions connected with each
other on industry basis and partnerships with
industry. Education cluster is a system of train-
ing, mutual training and learning tools in the
innovation chain “technology – science –
business”, based mainly on horizontal rela-
tions within the chain. Research and education
cluster (SEC) means the "cluster" of collabo-
rative projects, R&D and publications. This
is “connection of employers and education
institutions through a set of programs". The
cluster system can incorporate institutions of
pre-school, school and professional training,
including university and post-university train-
ing. In addition to development of education
system, there are other tasks facing the cluster
such as the need to strengthen the links of pro-
fessional training to labor market. Examples of
successful operation abroad are buffet educa-
tion cluster in Sweden, based at the University
of Uppsala, and the cluster "Research Triangle"
in North Carolina (USA).
When an enlarged education-innovation
cluster is being built, it should interact with
large corporations – innovations customers,
government agencies, financial and public
organizations. Venture financing has par-
ticular importance in building up education
cluster. Education clusters also use the so-
called "vowel" resource – specifics of local
history, culture, traditions and values that
form the so-called "implicit knowledge",
while the symbiosis of seemingly “incompat-
ible” concepts – competition and coopera-
tion – is born in clusters. Education cluster
allows for using comprehensive approach
to the problem of motivation, and helps at-
tract young people to R&D, education and
innovative entrepreneurship. An important
advantage of the cluster is that everyone has
the opportunity to fully realize their abilities
and skills. A specialist can simultaneously
work in research laboratories, teach, work
in a corporation or create his own innovative
small company, meaning that he has com-
plete freedom of choice. The current com-
prehensive reform of education in Ukraine
involves transition to the European educa-
tion system, with replacing unitary educa-
tion by education based on student's choice,
changing the structure of school and pre-
school education institutions, extending the
network of colleges, high schools, universi-
ties, postgraduate courses, corporate and vo-
cational education, education organizations
with the level and profile differentiation of
training, private education institutions with
novel training models and technologies, im-
proving education programs and facilities.
Integration of education institutions in
education cluster will provide a new level
of training for R&D and lecturing staff, en-
hance the performance of R&D and innova-
tion to meet the needs of a particular region;
it will allow for training of students with high
culture of thinking and broad-mindedness,
for turning education institutions into cent-
ers of progress and stability, moral and cul-
tural elevation of the regions.
Education cluster is bound to change
the entire character of academic environ-
ment. Education clusters are required by the
Ukrainian education system for very prag-
matic reasons. Lively and fruitful academic
environment requires close communication.
The fundamental mission of every university
is to break all the barriers. Every university
exists in communication format. Fragmen-
tation of disciplines, differentiation and pro-
found specialization of disciplinary fields has
caused the communication barriers and for
scientists and misunderstandings within uni-
versities. Moreover, misunderstandings be-
tween universities also exist. The worse thing
is the absence of the academic environment
in Ukraine, which shares common values
and principles.

EDUCATION CLUSTERS: THE UKRAINIAN CONTEXT
Creation of education clusters in Ukraine
will help improve the education quality and
make education institutions more competi-
tive. With the appropriate amendments in
the mechanisms of public funding for high-
er education, made in the new legislation,
Ukrainian universities will have to compete
for excellent students.
T. U. Krasikova believes that education
clusters should be considered as the system
of institutions of professional education,
linked by industry and partnership relations
with businesses operating in the industry [1].
According to N. V. Vasylyeva, regional
educational cluster should be defined as a
system of education institutions of different
levels, R&D organizations, private compa-
nies, organizations of regional innovative in-
frastructure and business support infrastruc-
ture that are associated with government
agencies and regional components of eco-
nomic system. She also argues that a higher
education institution can be center of a clus-
ter (core cluster), take responsibility for edu-
cation and R&D support of this cluster, and
also act as the information and methodo-
logical center, the communication plat-
form [2, p. 8–10].
According to N. A. Korchagina, educa-
tion cluster is a group of education institu-
tions, which have partnership relations with
business enterprises operating in industries
located on the same area, which end product
is education service [3, p. 81]. The core clus-
ter in this case is higher education institution
or other educational institution.
O. V. Smirnov interprets education clus-
ter as a system of education, mutual training
and tools for self-education in the innova-
tion chain "science – technology – business",
which is based primarily on horizontal re-
lations inside the chain [4, p. 75]. The basis
of an education cluster is education process.
Thus, education cluster can be viewed from
two perspectives: as a system and as a process.
V. I. Kutsenko defines education cluster
as a system of connected education insti-
tutions, educational organizations, which,
ta-ken as a whole, have higher importance
than when taken separately. Education clus-
ter is, therefore, more capacious in the edu-
cation market context, than various forms
of cross-sectoral integration like vertically
integrated holdings, associations, strategic
alliances, network association, joint ven-
tures, technology parks, industrial parks,
special economic zones etc. [5]. A cluster is
a more complex phenomenon than an as-
sociation of institutions, organizations and
enterprises, as education institutions are in-
volved in the process of cooperation more
and more intensively and continue to com-
pete with each other.
A. P. Zhuk and L. O. Drozdovskii believe
that education cluster is an integrated system
of continuous education from school (pre-
school) to job in the industry [6, p. 152].
A. M. Staryeva defines socio-cultural ed-
ucation innovation cluster as a voluntary as-
sociation of geographically close interacting
entities: education institutions, government
agencies, banks, private industrial compa-
nies, innovative enterprises (organizations),
infrastructures; this association is character-
ized by the produced competitive education,
cultural and social services, by the existence
of an agreed development strategy, which
aim is to benefit each cluster participant and
each territory of cluster localization, and by
considerable socio-economic significance
for the region. The purpose of cluster buil-
ding is in attaining the combined and inten-
sified effort and capacities of entities forming
the innovation structure, in order to ensure
coordinated action aimed at improving do-
mestic and global quality and competitive-
ness of regional education system [7].
E. R. Chernyshova justifies the neces-
sity of forming clusters as innovative way of
developing postgraduate education, by con-
sidering education cluster as a set of social
entities whose activity is based on principles
of synergy and transparency [8].
M. S. Chvanova [9], V. M. Yuriyev [10]
define education cluster as an association of
education institutions and enterprises on in-
dustry basis, for professional training in con-
ducting applied research. A. E. Gavrilova,
F. T. Shaheyeva, L. L. Nikitin define educa-
tion cluster as a system of professional edu-
cation institutions that are connected with
each other on industry basis and have part-
nership relations with businesses operating in
relevant industries [11].
М. Khmara

According to the European Cluster Ob-
servatory, there are about 69 educational clus-
ters (Oxford, Amsterdam, London, Warsaw,
Paris, etc.) on the EU territory, with different
levels of innovation performance, salaries, ex-
ports of educational services, etc. [12].
Formation of education clusters as an
organizational form for linking intellectual,
financial and material resources to ensure
competitive advantages is an important part
of official policy in many countries. Because
education cluster leads to diffusion of inno-
vation activity from one cluster entity to an-
other one, clusters may become the basis for
building up national education system.
Innovation socio-cultural education clus-
ter is a voluntary association to integrate geo-
graphically close interacting entities (educa-
tional, social, cultural institutions, government
agencies, banking, private sector, innovative
enterprises / organizations, infrastructure),
which is characterized by the producing of
competitive education, cultural, social serv-
ices, the availability of the agreed development
strategy, which aim is to benefit each cluster
participant and each territory of localization
of the cluster, and has considerable socio-eco-
nomic significance for the region.
Clustered entities may be enterprises,
institutions, organizations, regardless of
ownership category and subordination, and
individuals: pre-school education institu-
tions; general education institutions; out-
of-school education institutions; technical
and vocational education institutions; higher
education institutions; cultural institutions
(libraries, museums, cultural centers, etc.);
enterprises; institutions of physical culture
and sports; investors; grantors; philanthropic
organizations (including religious); local au-
thorities; banking organizations; media.
Cluster is created with the aim of:
• equating the proportions of separate
subjects’ efforts to address the problem of
qualitative equal education;
• optimizing the network of education
institutions in view of demographic and eco-
nomic situation;
• intensifying cooperative links between
the various education, cultural, economic
administrative entities in the region, to im-
prove the quality of education.
Operation of education cluster in
Ukraine is subject to the Constitution of
Ukraine, Laws of Ukraine "On Education",
"On Pre-School Education," "On General
Secondary Education", "On Higher Educa-
tion", "On Professional Education".
Decision on creating the cluster requires
a series of the following steps to be taken:
analyze the network of education, culture
and healthcare institutions, private compa-
nies, philanthropic organizations; study eco-
nomic, social, scientific, technical, cultural
relations between the actors; questioning and
testing of participants of education process,
interviews with the heads of agencies, organi-
zations and investors; estimating the costs
for strengthening the facilities of education
institutions, rational use of funds allocated
for maintenance of education, cultural and
healthcare institutions; conducting public
awareness campaign with education process
participants.
A good example of creating education
clusters in Ukraine is numerous education
and research centers. The Research and
Training Center of Cardiovascular Engi-
neering at the Ukrainian National Techni-
cal University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic
Institute" (NTU "KPI") have been created
following joint decision of the National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine and
the National Academy of Medical Sciences
(NAMS) of Ukraine. The main objectives
of the new institute, which consolidated the
efforts of NTU "KPI", Amosov Institute
of Cardiovascular Surgery of the NAMS of
Ukraine and Paton Institute for Electric
Welding of the NAS of Ukraine, are im-
provement of existing and creation of new
biomaterials and biotechnology, creation of
materials and products with brand new ca-
pacities, development of modified biological
objects and technical means for their preser-
vation, development of artificial organs and
their components.
To ensure two-way communication
process between practical healthcare and
scientific developments, five regional re-
search centers were created: East Center
(the city of Donetsk), created on the basis of
the Gusak Institute of Emergency and Re-
constructive Surgery of NAMS of Ukraine

EDUCATION CLUSTERS: THE UKRAINIAN CONTEXT
(director Dr. Grin, the academician of
NAMS of Ukraine); Northeast Center (the
city of Kharkiv), created on the basis of the
L. T. Mala Therapy Institute of NAMS of
Ukraine (director Bilovol O. M., the acade-
mician of NAMS of Ukraine); South Cent-
er (the city of Odessa), created on the basis
of the Odessa National Medical University
(director V. Kresyun, the Corresponding
Member of NAMS of Ukraine); West Center
(the city of Lviv), created on the basis of the
Daniel Galician Lviv National Medical Uni-
versity (director Zimenkovsky B. S., the Cor-
responding Member of NAMS of Ukraine);
Pridneprovsky Center (the city of Dnepro-
petrovsk), created on the basis of the Institute
of Gastroenterology of NAMS of Ukraine
(director G. V. Dzyak, the academician of
NAMS of Ukraine). These research centers
can become the basis for research and educa-
tion clusters of medical science in Ukraine.
Research and education cluster on the
basis of "University for Education Manage-
ment" of the National Academy of Pedago-
gical Sciences (NAPS) of Ukraine has been
built by way of involving management teams,
research and teaching staff from various edu-
cation, research and methodic institutions in
research projects in form of virtual laborato-
ry, developing and implementing a guideline
model for interactions between institutions
of postgraduate pedagogical education and
other entities from education, R&D and in-
dustry within research and education cluster.
This will facilitate creating the background
for preparing legal framework for cluster
mechanisms of interactions between entities
from education, R&D and industry in ren-
dering and consumption of educational serv-
ices in the competitive environment.
Secondary education institutions are in-
volved in education clusters with universities
and employers creating the chain of continu-
ous education, which is a correct way. More-
over, this measure will be implemented gra-
dually and take effect no earlier than 2016.
Peculiarities of education cluster cause
a set of projects of different kind that are
implemented [13]. In addition to that, the
distinctive feature of education cluster is its
innovation focus. Competitive education
clusters in Ukraine have well-developed
links with similar clusters in Ukraine beyond.
Stimulation of such links is an essential ele-
ment of cluster policy, consisting of creation
and implementation of development pro-
grams and programs of cooperation [14].
Creation of education clusters should
have positive impact on the technological
level of the economy, and hence the growth of
real incomes. Education cluster includes not
only education but also research institutions,
venture capital firms, which coordinated work
allows for rational use of resources that they
concentrate. The system of professional edu-
cation is posed at the education markets with
strong support of employers and sectoral min-
istries. Enterprises communicate data on the
required staff to sectoral ministries, and ap-
plications are made up and sent to appropri-
ate clusters through the public procurement
system. In some regions industrial enterprises
take on the responsibility to provide oppor-
tunity for professional probation for students
from technical colleges and higher education
institutions, and sometimes they can even
provide paid probations on advanced equip-
ment with the guaranteed job placement.
Education clusters, if created by the
model of developed countries, should in-
clude all education and research institutions;
it will help improve funding for all cluster
components. In this cluster, students are en-
gaged in practical work, including develop-
ment of joint projects. It creates a new model
of interaction between various education
institutions to organize practically oriented
training of young people. This, along with
the economic tasks, helps increase socializa-
tion and professional orientation of students,
while active and motivated students will pre-
pare in this way to enter higher education
institutions. However, this requires moderni-
zation of education, bringing it into compli-
ance with new demands of society and taking
into account its financial capacity.
Clustering opens up larger opportunities
for education to be funded through the mul-
ti-channel system, i. e. from public budget
(mainly) and off-budgetary funds (without
lowering standards and absolute size of budg-
et allocations).
Concluding remarks. The high com-
petitiveness of education and R&D can be

provided by a set of cluster actors involved
in education and linked to each other in ad-
dressing specific aspects of national educa-
tion problems rather than by individual edu-
cation institutions.
Education is considered today as not
only an important factor for fostering high-
quality living environment, but also as an
effective tool for combating social inequa-
lity. Education cluster in Ukraine needs to
develop by raising more funds from private
sector, which will allow for enhancing edu-
cation quality, innovation activity and dis-
semination of new technologies. Transition
from sector-based to cluster-based organi-
zation of production of educational services
requires taking political decisions on educa-
tion market and labor market, with cluster
building being a problem requiring urgent
solution. Because clustering supposes the
symbiosis of education, R&D and industry,
it is an important background for economic
growth and welfare of the nation and brid-
ging the technical and technological gap.
