The article provides a comparative legal analysis of the features of the implementation of the functions of public administration of higher education in a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region with a large network of higher education institutions: Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan. The task is solved to identify the general principles of building a system of state functions in the field of higher education, which can be used to improve the system of Russian public administration of higher education. The paper describes the model and structure of the higher education management system in these countries. The lists of state functions in the field of higher education in each country are analyzed, and similar functions inherent in practically all central state bodies of higher education management are identified. It is emphasized that the model of the system of powers of various higher education management bodies in different countries differs depending on the predominance of state or non-state educational organizations implementing higher education programs, which in many countries include not only universities, but also a significant number of colleges, and which are subject to the controlling influence of the central government bodies of higher education. At the same time, there is a tendency to expand the autonomy of educational organizations implementing higher education programs in solving issues of a managerial, personnel, financial and economic nature, which accordingly affects the implementation of state functions by the central bodies of state administration of higher education. Also, in many countries of the Asia-Pacific region, similarities have been revealed with the list of government functions in the field of higher education in our country.
