It's no secret that the economy is growing better, the higher the quality and level of education, which in turn reduces unemployment and increases in times life expectancy.
Many historians of the economy, showed a link between the spread of education in different countries of the world and the beginning of economic growth.For example, Easterlin found that, as a rule, after the educational reform was required 25-30 years, that in a country beginning to increase significantly the economy.
known that the level of education of Russia (both secondary and higher) in recent years has fallen sharply.This is indicated as the teachers and the students themselves.Previously, our education system was the envy of the world.The Soviet Union was one of the main centers of technical education, and now 15-year old Russian teenager math is about the same level as the American teenager.
Education powerful impact on the country's economy, since in this area there is increased employment status.In addition, the formation of a very attractive project for investments and, in part, for the labor (because this is an area we have to "grow" new specialists).For many years, the standard Russian education was fundamental.Anyone could get an education for free and for life.The system of higher education were incredible works of teachers, professors, scientists who were not looking for profit in this business for himself - such a system is reliable!
Today, the high demand for education is not caused by the desire of young people to learn and gain knowledge, but only a mere formality, "so it is necessary", "parents made", "slope of the army."There is another opinion that the diploma of higher education - is a key to success in his career.However, all this has led to a significant reduction in requirements for the quality of the educational process, in a sharp expansion of the commercial admission to universities.Of course, the establishment of branches in small towns has decided to issue a receipt in high school for residents of the provinces, but have won any of the students from?- No.This led to the weakening of the requirements as to the students and the academic staff.And the level of knowledge obtained by the provincial school students in many ways inferior to the knowledge of urban students.
Knowledge that students receive at school, is a solid foundation for further study in higher education.The perception of the new information is given much simpler, since knowledge is a kind of chain, one superimposed on the other, much is repeated.Therefore, those students who have successfully mastered the curriculum - is not difficult to study high school, because there is no "white spots".
believed that a good level of schooling at times increases the chances of getting into university and, consequently, increases the availability of higher education.What happens now ?!If we talk about education reform, the first thing that comes to mind - the exam.
Of course, the main objective of this innovation (and sometimes the only justification) is the fight against corruption in university admissions.But is it really?
Previously, corruption manifested in the untidiness of the selection committee, but now the pendulum has shifted towards tutoring, and doing it by representatives of the same commission, promising worried parents that their child after school exactly go to university on the budget.Money from the parental purse still leaked as it was without the exam, but now sounds much more noble purpose - to pass examinations, and successful completion of a weapon - a tutor from the university.Today, an end in itself is not high school graduates gain knowledge and successful passing the exam.And the successful delivery of a single examination does not guarantee a high level of knowledge.First of all - is coached skills select the correct answer from four options.They say that because of the bad stuff will not make a good product, because of students who are, roughly speaking, second-rate raw materials, can get high-quality products ?!Therefore, as such specialists will be able to operate the economy ?!
August 25, 2003, Moscow hosted the August teachers' council, which now ex-mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov spoke about the exam: "Introducing testing graduating classes, we replace the principle of guessing the principle of examination.USE reminds me of the game in the thimbles at the station.But if we lose at the station only money here - the younger generation. "
in the current capitalist society, no one is forcing provided only opportunities for development: Do you want to learn and get an education - and learn, do not want to - do not.No one is irreplaceable.But in a socialist society took patronage over the lagging, helped pulled up.
In 1970, the Soviet Union has allocated to education 7% of GDP, and Russia in 1994 had 3.4% (must take into account the fact that GDP for 1994 was reduced by half, and the increase in prices almost in 2 times after August 1998year), so we get only a quarter of the cost of the Soviet Union).While in developed countries there is 5.3-5.5%.Nowadays education takes about 0.75% of GDP.
Today everything has changed: the educational standards and monitoring of students' knowledge.At the same time, reducing the number of institutions of higher education, converted (standards), introduced Bachelor's and stuff.Almost all of these reforms are puzzling: the development of these innovations is spent record amounts, but the quality of the knowledge they are not only not increased, in fact, they create a lot of inconvenience for both teachers and students.
Education in higher education should develop students' ability to understand the thinking.The graduate should be a highly qualified specialist, who can make their own decisions, to make discoveries, to create something new, to find new ways of solving problems, and for this, first of all, you need to teach him to think.And much better if this process will not only university, but also school, so it is necessary to prepare such a specialist has since high school, so there was a kind of re-education.
The website of the State Secretariat of Administration of the United States there is one small note: "Foreign students make annual contributions to the US economy of $ 11 billion."Here is one of the proofs that the "skilled hands" education is the most important "breadwinner" of the whole country.
Today, education is becoming an important and productive political and diplomatic strength.In developed countries long ago came to the conclusion that the cost of education - are not budgetary costs as such, it's an investment!People with higher education bring a higher proportion of GDP, and those costs are favorable.
So, education takes the most important place in the economy, namely research and development.The Institute trains professionals, knowledge of which will meet the requirements of the labor market.Human ability to play a major role in the production.But the high demand for higher education has led to a fact that increased admission to universities in the monetary base (commerce), and as a result - reducing the quality of education.Plus, there is the whole "floating away" good people, "aging" of teachers.
main tasks to be solved in order to hang the quality of education:
1.usovershenstvovanie education system.
2.obnovlenie bases, on which the educational process.
3. training of the teaching staff
4.dostatochnoe provision by the State of specialized professional schools.
So, to improve the education system and reach the international level, it is necessary to solve all of the above tasks.After all, the level of education, the quality of knowledge and skills of the working staff will ensure a steady growth of competitive strength of the economy.
