It is argued that improving the organization of independent work of learners will positively influence the effective management of higher education institutions.

The experience of European countries in organizing the independent work of learners is examined, which indicates a close connection between the educational process and the market, production, and possible areas of future student activity. The application of various forms of organizing students' independent work, depending on the specialty and educational programs offered by departments when developing discipline work programs, taking into account the needs of stakeholders and the labor market, is justified. The aim of the article is to analyze existing approaches to students' independent work and improve its organization for effective management of higher education institutions.

As a result of the conducted study of the organization of independent work in higher education institutions, the positions of learners and teachers were determined, which generally have common views on the need to improve the identified problem. Specific steps to improve this form of the educational process were identified through the analysis of anonymous questionnaires of students and teachers.
