ABSTRACT. The purpose of the article is to study the main challenges and ways to overcome them in modern legal science in terms of the role played by international scientific and practical cooperation in this process. The right to education is not only enshrined as a constitutional value of modern states, but also occupies an important place in the development of international cooperation. This investigation explores the increasingly pivotal role that such cooperation plays, particularly in the legal education sector, highlighting how it serves as a crucial conduit for sharing best practices and advancing the rule of law globally. The article provided justification for the recognition of international educational law as an independent branch of international (public) law as one of the main conditions for the effective implementation of activities in the field of scientific and practical cooperation, its strengthening and improvement of results. Analyzing the works of domestic and foreign scientists, it was determined that international educational law is an independent branch of international public law, which is a system of international legal principles and norms. The latter regulate social relations arising between subjects of educational law in the field of educational relations, including the realization of the individual's right to education. These norms not only facilitate access to education on a global scale but also ensure the protection of educational rights, contributing to the development of a more equitable global education system. The study made it possible to determine that there is a full-fledged toolkit for Ukraine to achieve its strategic goals in the context of its post-war reconstruction and its implementation of the course of European integration. Our country has a wide base of international agreements in the fields of science, education, culture, and humanitarian cooperation. It is emphasized that leveraging these agreements effectively requires robust domestic frameworks that align with international standards, ensuring seamless integration and mutual benefits. Current agreements contribute to the achievement of such tasks as attracting foreign scientists, conducting joint research, exchanging scientists, students, teachers, specialists, and promoting the Ukrainian language and culture. The conclusion emphasizes: modern international educational law cannot be imagined without a huge array of supranational acts of various levels. International educational law is dynamically developing and transforming along with national educational legislation. At the same time, the idea of creating a basic convention of international educational law aimed at consolidating educational relations at the interstate level, including their declaration, as well as their systematization, deserves scientific consideration. This convention could serve as a foundational framework to standardize and enhance the legal infrastructure supporting international educational endeavors.
