The document established a policy framework that aims to: 

  1. a) create a unified data system and a standardized system of indicators for higher education institutions (hereinafter referred to as HEIs), 
  2. b) strengthen the linkage between these data with the programmatic structure of the state budget, ensuring the consistency of the “input–output–outcome/impact” logical chain in the budget programs of the education, science, culture and sports (hereinafter referred to as ESCS) sector. 

The document includes an analysis of the problem, main policy directions for implementation, an institutional roadmap, responsibilities, risk assessment, and a monitoring mechanism.
