Reviewer 3 Report

The topic of the education system is important for the development of each organization in all economic environments. Authors focused on the specific situation in Ukraine higher education system, but the processed text has several errors:

The structure of the paper does not match the requirements for scientific papers. Literature research, which has to prepare a base for the whole theory background, is included in the RESULT chapter. It is necessary to extend the METHODOLOGY chapter, which has a lack of individual methodological description. Quotations in the paper reflect the Harvard style, which is not matching the style of the SUS journal, which requires figures in brackets i.g. [1]. The text is also a URL link (L148). The paper needs to get English proof of all text. In the text, there are several parts with no quotations, e.g. L142-151. It is not possible to present ratio by non-ration figures as authors present in FIGURE 3 (L.154). Titles of all tables are not according to normal requirements. References in the list are not according to the defined format.

The manuscript has been amended, but still, several points are left for improvement:

The main text should include previous research on the subject, methodology or theoretical framework, results of the research, and discussion with the interpretation of results obtained. Please provide the theoretical grounding of the research. Please add the separate section – LITERATURE REVIEW. It should trace the intellectual progression of the field, give an interpretation of previous research, identify where gaps exist in how a problem has been researched to date. From 22 references in the reference list, only 8 of them reflect research made in the recent five years, and only a few of them published in the high-ranking journals abstracted in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science or Scopus databases. Please provide the literature analysis based on 25-30 recently published papers from high-level scientific journals indexed in Clarivate Analytics Web of Science or Scopus databases (years 2017-2019).
