According to MK, at a meeting of the Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation for Education and Science, the underfunding of this sphere once again was discovered: the share of expenses for education in the country's budget continues to decrease. To some extent, another problem is connected - the number of "unsuccessful schoolchildren" is growing. Such data recorded auditors of the Account Chamber (SP). Also, the meeting was talked about changing the format of the total certification of schoolchildren, the EGE model, and also rejected the idea of student capital.
Analyzing the data obtained, the auditor of the joint venture Dmitry Zaitsev noted that since 2014, the country does not grow the amount of government spending on education, moreover, there is a tendency to reduce the share of these expenses. According to the expert, the problem of underfunding is directly related to the problem of the lag of digital transformation of educational organizations. In higher educational institutions today, there are practically no budgets for development.
In addition, the SP recorded the growth of the proportion of unsuccessful children, as well as the growth of functionally illiterate schoolchildren and students experiencing difficulties in mastering the school curriculum. In order to support such students, in educational organizations it is necessary to plan separate events.
He also focused on the fact that in one Chinese university, which was in the hundreds of the best universities in the world, the budget is larger than that of the whole Russian education. In addition, our country loses 10 thousand best minds every year. In other words, the problem of brain leakage is preserved.
Also, the Committee reported disappointing news for students of universities. Last fall, the question of the introduction of student capital was discussed - target lump-sum payments from the state. In accordance with the draft document proposed for consideration by individual deputies, students opened a personal account, at which, at the end of training in the university, 500 thousand rubles should accumulate, at the end of the technical school - 250 thousand rubles. Such cash could be a good help for young families who have graduated from higher and secondary educational institutions. This money of the new specialists could use for rental housing, such as payment for the passage or the opening of their business.
However, the Committee recommended the Lower Parliament fee to reject the draft law in connection with the disadvantages discovered from him, among which the inaccuracies of the selection criteria were noted for paying candidates, as well as the goals to which it could be spent. As an example, the experts led the program "Zemsky Doctor" and "Zemsky Teacher", in which the criteria for supporting young professionals are very clearly defined. "
In turn, the first deputy head of the Committee on Education Oleg Smolin explained that the support of the youth is a good thing, but it is better to "allocate money for measures to help students right now."
"In Soviet times, the student scholarship was 80% of the subsistence minimum, now it is only 14%. The situation in many students is heavy, so money from the treasury must first be used to increase scholarships to ordinary students to 8 thousand rubles, and socially unprotected groups of students - to the minimum wage. It is also advisable to spend state money for increasing budget seats. "
