In the era of the knowledge-based society and economy education has become a crucial factor in determining the future prospects of national states, and thus a subject to fundamental changes. With a purpose to improve the quality of higher education (HE) and become more competitive in the global context European countries joined their efforts and commenced a massive multi-year project of harmonizing and modernizing HE systems, which is known as the Bologna process (BP). According to the main Bologna documents the involvement of all stakeholders, especially the recipients of educational services (students), into HE governance at all levels is considered to be one of the core principles of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) development. However, it was found out, the system of student representation and the degrees of their engagement vary considerably around Europe. For solving this problem it is essential to find innovative approaches in engaging students into HE management by studying the positive experience of the most influential student representative organization in the EHEA – the European Students’ Union (ESU). In the article major organizational, procedural and content foundations of the ESU’s activity as a subject of the BP were defined and characterized. On the basis of logical and systematic analysis of statutory and policy documents specific peculiarities of the organizational structure, goals and principles, and forms of cooperation with external partners of the Union were pointed out. The basic action lines of the ESU in the context of the higher education modernization were studied. They are quality assurance, student-centered paradigm in education, graduates’ employability, financing of higher education and student movement development. To the main forms of the ESU’s engagement into the BP we refer: collection, analysis, synthesis and dissemination of information to the NUSes, and other BP subjects; monitoring of the Bologna principles implementation in different European countries; establishment together with other representative bodies of the advisory and expert bodies pools; foundation of associated structures; popularization of ESU’s policies among major stakeholders in higher education; realization of analytical and research projects (QUEST, SAGE, FINST, PASCL, etc.). Besides, it was determined that the main means which the ESU uses in order to achieve its objectives are the following: surveys NUSes, student debates, forums, conferences and seminars; policy documents, declarations and resolutions, speeches, statements; the series of analytical publications “Bologna With Student Eyes”.

In the article the main factors, purpose and principles of student engagementin the modernization of national higher education are characterised. Socio-political factors include higher education democratization worldwide, high level of corruption in the system of higher education governance in Ukraine, urgent need for qualified specialists with a developed citizen competence, growing student political activism and others. Major socio-economic factors are the economy of the state budget in the conditions of its deficit due to the lack of financing in the social sphere, education in particular, and higher education commercialization. Finally, among the academic factors the most important is the necessity of higher education quality assurance. So, the main goal of student engagement into the process of higher education modernization at all levels is to improve the quality through the establishment of a partnership culture and the development of democratic foundations in the educational environment. The principles which must be considered as fundamental for the development of a strong student union at the national level are the following: the principle of representativeness, democracy and transparency, non-profit objectives, solidarity, equality, purposefulness, proactivity and impartiality. The mission of the NUS is to represent and protect the educational, socio-political, economic and cultural interests and students’ rights in the nation-wide dimension. On the basis of the systemic and functional analysis of the European Students’ Union, a model for the development of a national student union as a subject of the higher education modernization was produced. The mission and the priorities of the Union are realized through the components of normative, organizational, content, procedural and result blocks, which implies the interconnection of its structural components, as well as the content, forms, methods and means of influencing the decision-making processin higher education. The result component is understood as the NUS’s readiness for constructive cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the National Quality Assurance Agency, universities, regional and institutional students’unionsin order to raise the quality of HE. It is proved that student involvement in the production and implementation of the state strategy for the modernization of higher education system is an important condition for the success of this process.
