Amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this study conducts a rigorous analysis of the online learning landscape within higher education. It scrutinizes the manifold issues that emerged during the era of quarantine restrictions, investigating the perspectives and experiences of students and academic staff in this transformative educational paradigm. Employing a comprehensive suite of research methodologies, including content analysis, observation, comparative analysis, questionnaires, correlation studies, and statistical and graphical methods, this research unearths the substantial challenges faced by participants in online learning. It meticulously evaluates the advantages and limitations of this pedagogical shift during the pandemic, probing into satisfaction levels regarding the quality of online instruction and the psychological aspects of adapting to new learning environments. Moreover, this study offers practical recommendations to address the identified challenges and proposes solutions. The findings serve as invaluable insights for higher education management, particularly within the framework of quality assurance, equipping administrators with the requisite tools and strategies to confront the extraordinary challenges that have arisen in contemporary higher education. These lessons gleaned from the crucible of the pandemic’s trials also hold a unique promise. The results of this research are not confined to a singular crisis but carry a profound implication: the effective application of online learning, even under the most arduous conditions. These ‘pandemic lessons’ become the guiding light for resilient education in the face of any adversity.

Under globalization conditions, the main priority of the state education policy in many countries of the world is to ensure higher education quality. This is possible through close and efficient cooperation between the state, higher education institutions, future specialists, employers and innovative structures (clusters). This study focuses on the development of indicators that can comprehensively assess the effectiveness of regional innovation clusters in the higher education system. The main attention is given to the analysis of innovations, business, education development and competitiveness, as indicators of the effectiveness of regional innovation clusters in the higher education system. The following methods have been used within the research: content analysis, statistical, correlation and regression analysis, econometric modeling and the graphical method. As a result of the research, indicators of the effectiveness of regional innovation clusters have been identified and the impact of these indicators on the higher education system has been evaluated. The authors have shown that there is a close relationship between the level of development of regional innovation clusters, indicators of business and innovations development, and the level of competitiveness. The direct impact of those on the higher education system has been established and confirmed by the provided calculations.
