On the role of professional qualifications and professional competencies in various spheres of the public activity

Abstract

Introduction. Within the framework of the regulatory guillotine mechanism, the regulatory and legal support of educational legislation is currently being reviewed. The use of such a mechanism makes it possible to revise and update the entire array of legal support in order to solve social issues of vocational education. Purpose setting. Modern educational law follows the path of increasing the number of normative acts regulating educational legal relations, which indicates the casuistry of legal regulation. Updated regulations have a limited validity period, and therefore their significance may be reduced by leveling efforts to take into account professional standards when describing professional competencies. This entails social problems in the area under consideration. Methodology and methods of the study. Theoretical and empirical methods were used in the research process. Legal analogy, legal comparison, legal abstraction were used. Results. The article deals with the problems of formation of professional competencies of students. The necessity of the organic development of educational and public service legislation in terms of the formulation of professional competencies is argued, especially taking into account the change since September 2025 in the nomenclature of training areas, specialties and federal state educational standards. The problems of the lack of continuity of professional competencies of a civil servant, professional standards and a graduate of an educational organization are noted. Conclusion. The most important direction for improving educational legislation is the need to establish its priority in regulating the procedure for entering the civil service and determining professional qualifications. In order to use the provisions on the professional qualifications of a civil servant in the development of educational programs of higher education, it is necessary to amend the educational legislation, as well as develop a system of additional professional education.
