Abstract:
The aim of the article is to distinguish between the concepts “knowledge economy”, “innovative economy”, “information economy”, “education cluster”, “education”. Through analyzing, systematizing and summarizing scientific works of a number of scientists, the evolution of these concepts is considered, and relationships between them are described. It is proved that the education sector has functional and organizational aspects. Based on the results of the analysis, it is established that education cluster, within the framework of the formation of a new type of economy, is considered as a modern educational form, where the core of development is a research university. Prospects for further research in this area are, firstly, analysis of the emergence of the “research university” phenomenon and, secondly, quantitative assessment of the share of the education sector in the national economy in countries with different levels of development, including Ukraine. Further research on the features of the education sector is important for solving the scientific problem of formulating and implementing certain financial rules in the practice of public administration of the education sector.

Keywords: education, education sector, knowledge economy, innovative economy, information economy, education cluster.
