AB  - This paper proposes a model of overlapping generations with heterogeneous preferences and higher education sector for a representative country where the Unified State Examination (USE) is taken. Unlike other models that study the accumulation of human capital based on the assumption of homogeneity of the parameters of individuals' preferences, in the proposed model heterogeneity is introduced when describing the abilities of individuals, approximated by Unified State Exam scores, risk aversion and intertemporal discounting under conditions of uncertainty. The purpose of this work is to develop and construct a model on which a methodology for as ses-sing strategies (rather than specific options) for the development of the education system can be based in the ideology of general equilibrium models. This article has developed an apparatus for analyzing strategies for the development of the education sector, which can be refined and finalized to analyze specific detailed options for transformations in the field of education.
