Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Education and Science of Russia). Ministry of General and Vocational Education

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, in November 1991, the current Ministry of Education of the RSFSR was transformed. On its basis, by combining several more republican committees, the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR was created. And at the end of December, the name of the state changed. And the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

All the Ministers of Education of Russia, each in his time, made a great contribution to the preservation and development of the system of education of the country's population.

The first elected Minister of Education of the Russian Federation

Eduard Dmitrievich Dneprov - academician, doctor of ped. Sciences, Candidate of Historical Sciences. He is rightfully considered a reformer of Russian education during the formation of the newly formed state.

The burden of reorganizing the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR into the Ministry of Education of Russia fell on his shoulders. Since December 1992, there was Yeltsin B. N. Dneprov E. D. - the author of many works on the history of Russian pedagogy and school.

Second Minister

After Eduard Dneprov, the ministry was headed by E. V. Tkachenko, who had previously worked as the rector of the Sverdlovsk Institute of Institute of Psychology, professor, doctor of chemical sciences. Having become a minister, he announced a moratorium on the privatization of all property in all structures of the ministry. He was a supporter of the humanization and democratization of education.

Ministry of General and Vocational Education

In August 1996, the State Committee for Higher Education of the Russian Federation was abolished. Its functions were transferred to the Ministry of Education, at the same time changing the name of the ministry. On August 14, it became the Ministry of General and Vocational Education. V. G. Kinelev was appointed minister.

From February to the end of September 1998, the post of Minister was held by the former First Deputy Minister of Education of Russia A. - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Academician. He is known for his work on materials science in space and radiation fields. Since October 1998, he moved to work on the methodological and scientific support of informatization of schools and colleges of the country, the methodology for the application of information technologies in the educational and scientific sphere.

Filippov V. M.

In September 1998, M. was appointed minister. Prior to that, he was the rector of the famous RUDN University. He came to the government together with Primakov E.M.

Together with Deputy Prime Minister Matvienko V.I., he began work to stabilize the situation in the field of education and upbringing, paying special attention to reducing wage arrears to school teachers and kindergarten teachers.

The Ministry of General and Vocational Education in May 1999 was renamed the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. In the same year, the state program for the development and improvement of the system for the period up to 2004 was approved. At the initiative of Filippov, an active renewal of the system and principles of education has begun. At the beginning of 2000, Filippov held the Congress of Teachers and Educators of Russia in Moscow, which the previous ministers did not hold.

Vladimir Mikhailovich carried out an almost complete modernization of the education system. Provided schools with buses, carried out informatization in educational institutions, new standards of general education were developed and introduced. The gradual introduction of the Unified State Examination has begun. The system of recruiting students to the country's universities on the basis of university, regional and all-Russian Olympiads began to work. The rules for the targeted quota sending of young people to study at certain higher educational institutions and much more have been approved.

Ministry of Education and Science of Russia

In 2004, Prime Minister M. Fradkov transferred A. A. Fursenko from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Education and Science.

The Minister of Education and Science of Russia (now this is the name of the Ministry) began its activities by continuing the reforms initiated by Filippov. Under him, the Unified State Examination was finally put into effect in all eleventh grades. Higher education has become two-level: undergraduate and graduate. In 2012, when V. Putin again became President, Fursenko went to work in his apparatus.

The rector of MISiS was appointed to the vacant seat. He was a supporter of reducing the number of universities. He proposed to deprive all inefficient higher education institutions of licenses from budget financing.

minister today

Who is the Minister of Education of Russia now? Since August 2016, this position has been held by Olga Vasilyeva, Doctor of Historical Sciences. For a year of work in the entrusted position, she proved herself, like all previous ministers of education in Russia, as an official who cares for the prosperity of domestic science and education.

On May 18, 2018, a new composition of the Government began its work in Russia. Most of the ministers continued their activities in the posts they held in the previous government, but there are certain changes in the composition of the Cabinet of Ministers.

For example, the former Ministry of Education and Science was reformatted, as a result of which two departments were formed at once - the Ministry of Education, which was headed by the former Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva, and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which was joined by a new person who had not previously worked in the government . The new Minister of Education of Russia in 2018, who is this person, why exactly did he head the newly formed ministry.

With the beginning of the work of the new government, it became clear that there would no longer be a single Ministry of Education. Instead, two new structures have been established - the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. This division was approved by President Vladimir Putin at the suggestion of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, thus dividing the responsibilities of departments. The first will be responsible for schools and secondary education, the second - for the science of innovation and the activities of higher educational institutions.

According to Medvedev, the reorganization will make it possible to better concentrate the state's opportunities for the development of both education systems.

According to experts, the idea of uniting all levels of the educational system under the wing of one agency turned out to be erroneous. The result of such actions was a serious decline in the level of educational training in colleges and the widespread orientation of all students to receive exclusively higher education. Thus, changes in the management of the education system are long overdue.

At first glance, the separation of a single department responsible for education looks like a return to the experience of the Soviet Union, when there were also several educational departments. However, in reality, the reorganization could be required not at all because of the need to save Russian education and science, but simply in order to equally share power among all lobbyists.

Practice clearly demonstrates that in Russia all kinds of reshuffles in the Government do not have a fundamental impact on the policy pursued by the state. According to historian Yevgeny Spitsyn, in the case of the division of the Ministry of Education, there is a struggle between various groups of influence who want to gain control over certain areas of government and cash flows. There is a serious apparatus struggle, on which a large number of interests and purely political motives are tied.

Thus, in order to comply with the interests of all groups of influence, it was decided that Olga Vasilyeva, against whom a serious campaign had been conducted recently, should head the new Ministry of Education, since she was really better at working with the “school” block of secondary education, but representatives of the liberal block of influence received higher education and science at the mercy of them. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education was headed by Mikhail Kotyukov, who previously worked as the head of the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations.

Mikhail Kotyukov, who headed the newly formed Ministry of Science and Higher Education, was born in 1976 in Krasnoyarsk. He received primary and secondary education in a regular comprehensive school No. 68. Then he entered the Krasnoyarsk State University, where he graduated with a degree in Finance and Credit.

It is believed that Valery Zubov, the former dean of the Krasnoyarsk State University, who became the governor of the Krasnoyarsk region and called Mikhail to work in the regional administration before graduating from the university, gave Kotyukov a ticket to official life. After graduating from higher education, Mikhail Kotyukov received a promotion, becoming the head of the control and audit department of the Main Financial Department of the regional administration.

In 2001, Mikhail Kotyukov changed the civil service to private business, becoming the head of the financial department at Krasnoyarskagropromdorstroy OJSC. However, a year later he returned to the regional administration under the leadership of the new governor of the region Alexander Khloponin. Kotyukov was accepted as the chief specialist of the resource analysis and budget policy department of the Main Directorate of Economics and Planning. After another 2 years, Mikhail Mikhailovich sat in the chair of the deputy head of the Main Financial Department.

In 2007, after the scandalous poisoning of students at a ball for excellent students, Kotyukov was included in the list of officials who left their posts. This version was discussed by the Krasnoyarsk media, however, there was no evidence to confirm the connection between the events. Another event that could have caused Kotyukov to leave was the audit of the financial activities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory by the Accounts Chamber. As a result of the investigation, unreasonable expenses and debts to employees were discovered.

In March of the same year, Mikhail Kotyukov worked for a short time at the Siberian Federal University, in order to soon return to the civil service in the regional administration.

In 2010, Kotyukov, a loyal member of Alexander Khloponin's team, moved to the capital together with his boss, becoming the head of the budget policy department in the social sphere and science of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.

In 2012, Kotyukov became Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, supervising the financing of the social sector, including science, according to the Ros-Register portal. since 2013, Mikhail Kotyukov has become the head of the newly formed Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FANO).

In this position, Kotyukov was involved in the development of principles for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific institutions in Russia, as well as the inventory of property, the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Such interference in the affairs of the academy provoked a huge flow of negative criticism against Kotyukov. He was accused by academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences of excessive bureaucracy and interference in scientific affairs.

In addition to his activities as the head of FANO, Kotyukov was also involved in reforming the pension system and the work of the Olimpstroy corporation, which was engaged in the construction of facilities for the Sochi Olympics.

Thus, by the age of 41, Mikhail Kotyukov has a very extensive work list, which is replete with departures and returns of the new Minister of Education of Russia in 2018 to the public service. Whether this is good or bad, only time will tell. As the experience of the previous government shows, Kotyukov has every chance of staying in the civil service for another 6 years.

WITH 2018, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation was divided into 2 main departments:

The former head of the department, Olga Yuryevna Vasilyeva, has been appointed Minister of Education.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Kotyukov, former head of the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations, has been appointed Minister of Science and Higher Education. In the past, Kotyukov M.M. held such positions as Vice-Rector for Economics and Finance of the Siberian Federal University, Head of the Department of Finance of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Minister of Finance of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Deputy Minister of Finance A. Siluanova.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia is now divided into two departments - the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The portal profiok.com talks about why this was done and what tasks the new departments face.

Historical continuity In 1802, Emperor Alexander I issued a manifesto on the establishment in Russia of the Ministry of Education in order to "educate youth and disseminate science." In other words, for the first time this phrase was heard in our country more than two hundred years ago. During this period, of course, reforms were carried out: education was either combined with culture or science, then again these areas were separated.

After the collapse of the USSR, education was again combined with the scientific sphere. The Ministry of Education and Science dealt with kindergartens, universities, and the regulation of scientific activities. No matter how you build a management policy, it is difficult to form a single strategy that simultaneously leads to two different goals. But the goals are really different: for example, higher education and science hunt for talents, while schools and kindergartens should strive to give equal opportunities to everyone.

A vivid example is the attack on the Unified State Exam, undertaken by representatives of the Russian Academy of Sciences at the end of April. From the point of view of officials, the Unified State Examination is a social lift, an opportunity for a person from the outback to get into a metropolitan university. Academicians, on the contrary, believe that the USE kills creativity: it is not by chance that the winners of the Olympiads do not always pass the unified exam well. The fact that Olympiad geniuses are not doing well with the Unified State Examination, Olga Vasilyeva also noticed. True, she drew a different conclusion: apparently, something is not clean with these Olympiads, since their winners are not able to answer elementary questions on specialized subjects.

And so in everything. According to Olga Vasilyeva, the task of the school is to educate a person and provide him with high-quality basic knowledge, regardless of which school he studies at. Everything else - extended textbooks, additional classes, circles and sections - is possible, but not instead of, but in addition to the basic program. Mastered the basic - expand knowledge.

In a word, a separate department has now been created for each of the global tasks. "This will allow us to better concentrate our opportunities for the development of both one education system and another education system," Dmitry Medvedev explained to the president the meaning of the reform in a peculiar but intelligible way. The Ministry of Education will deal with general and secondary vocational education, additional education and vocational training for workers of all ages. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education got universities, science cities, research centers, innovations, and so on.

Rosmolodezh and Rosobrnadzor now report directly to the government. Recall that the supervising Deputy Prime Minister in this area is Tatyana Golikova, who previously headed the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.

Universities and Science The endless history of the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences has shown that the system of science management in our country is still tight. Taking into account the tasks set by the president, that is, the need for a technological and scientific breakthrough, this could no longer continue. A separate department was supposed to appear in the country, which would coordinate the development of university and academic science.

The new Ministry of Science and Higher Education was created on the basis of the liquidated Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FANO). The post of minister was given to the head of FASO Mikhail Kotyukov. When FANO was created, the idea was to separate property management and actual scientific work. In the course of the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences, these spheres diverged so far that the development of science stalled. Now, as we see, a new attempt is being made to build a system of science management. It is noteworthy that within the framework of one department there was a bunch of science and higher education. This means that the state is making a serious bet on the development of university and youth science - for example, postgraduate studies.

The May decree states that by 2024 our country should enter the top five countries in the world that carry out scientific developments in areas determined by the priorities of scientific and technological development. In addition, it is necessary to increase funding for science "from all sources" (that is, not only from the budget), as well as to make work in Russia attractive to domestic and foreign researchers and scientists. For this, megascience projects will be developed, scientific and educational centers will be created, and the material and technical base of scientific organizations will be updated. Finally, an integral system of training and professional growth of scientific personnel should be formed.

The head of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Sergeev expressed satisfaction with the fact that the May decree included many ideas of the representatives of the academy. After the adoption of amendments to the law on the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences received the authority to coordinate all fundamental science in the country, regardless of where exactly the research is being conducted. I would like to believe that the reform of the science management system will significantly increase the efficiency of scientific research, and this efficiency will be measured in more tangible indicators than citation indices in scientific journals, which everyone has long learned to wind up.

Education

I must say, judging by Olga Vasilyeva's public speeches, the topic of managing scientific development has always been somewhat further from her than teaching and educating schoolchildren. When the minister switches from mega-science projects to learning music, playing chess, or just saying the word "kids", her tone changes noticeably. It is probably right that a person working as a minister will henceforth be completely immersed in tasks, the range of which is determined not only by official duty, but also by emotional attachment.

According to the May decree of 05/07/2018, in six years Russia should enter the top ten countries in the world in terms of the quality of general education. It is assumed that for this, new technologies and teaching methods will be introduced at all levels, and the quality and accessibility of education will be ensured.

At the same time, attention will be paid to both kindergarten students and working citizens who want to update their professional skills and competencies, including, for example, "digital" knowledge and skills.

The Ministry will create conditions for the early development of children under three years of age, identify and develop abilities in children and young people (for all, and not just gifted children in elite schools - approx. profiok.com), will be engaged in career guidance, the development of volunteering and mentoring. A separate task is to ensure the professional development of teachers: by 2024, at least every second teacher should be involved in the system of professional growth. The department also faces the task of modernizing the sphere of vocational education and deploying a system of professional skill competitions, which will open career opportunities for citizens. In addition, the tasks in the field of education include "the upbringing of a harmoniously developed and socially responsible personality based on the spiritual and moral values of the peoples of the Russian Federation, historical and national-cultural traditions."

The head of the Cabinet of Ministers, Dmitry Medvedev, instructed all departments by June 29, 2018 to develop the dynamics of target indicators in the areas related to them, mentioned in the May decree, to clarify the lists of tasks, to determine "milestones" (control points) and responsible. Draft national programs will appear later - in mid-August, action plans for their implementation - by the end of September.

Therefore, there are no specifics yet, of course. But it seems that the 5-100 project, on whose effectiveness Olga Vasilyeva and Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets differed so radically, does not appear anywhere. Most likely, this is for the best: we do not need positions in the rankings, but a decent level of education throughout the country. On May 24, Olga Vasilyeva came to the "Last Bell" in her native school. "Our main goal is enlightenment in Russia, which will affect different levels of education, including adult education," - this is how she formulated the main tasks of the Ministry of Education in a conversation with teachers, adding that in the strategic tasks set by the president, much attention is paid to education .

So, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education will train personnel for a technological breakthrough, and will also create conditions for this very breakthrough, increasing the efficiency of scientific research. The main task of the Ministry of Education is to form a nation, creating equal conditions for everyone, getting rid of the "values" of the 1990s, teaching children to work, respect each other, love their country and their culture. These are fundamentally different goals, and it is unlikely that anyone will undertake to determine which of them is more important.

Interdepartmental interaction

Separation of "Siamese twins" is a complex and responsible operation. The reorganization of the Ministry of Education and Science will last until the end of the financial year, and from January 2019, each of the new ministries will begin its own independent life. But separating spheres of influence and responsibility is not so easy. Which department, for example, will pedagogical institutes belong to? Probably, it would be logical to give them to the Ministry of Education, since it deals with teachers, but then they may eventually “fall out” of the Russian system of higher education.

There are questions about the exam. Until now, through the efforts of the previous leaders of the Ministry of Education and Science, studying at school was perceived solely as preparation for entering a university. Now the situation is changing, and getting a working profession, as well as studying at a college or technical school instead of an institute, no longer looks like a collapse of a career at its very start. Maybe it's time to reconsider the approach to the exam and not force those who are not going to continue their studies at the university to take it?

On the other hand, vocational guidance now begins, as a rule, from school years, if not from kindergarten. In many schools there are specialized classes, training in which guarantees admission to a particular university. In short, the new departments have many points of contact, and the effectiveness of their work will depend, among other things, on how quickly they can achieve a common vision and understanding of each other's goals and objectives.

Introducing the new ministers Olga Vasilyeva and Mikhail Kotyukov to the staff of the Ministry of Education and Science and FASO, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova stressed that it is important to work on strategic tasks in a coordinated and joint manner, and initiatives "in sensitive areas" should be discussed with society and experts. In response, both ministers assured that they were committed to constructive cooperation.

"I believe that the formation of teams, a friendly environment in our socio-economic bloc is important, because if like-minded people work, everything works out," Golikova concluded.

Law on the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences: the process of destruction continues...

Six years ago, on September 27, 2013, the federal law "On the Russian Academy of Sciences, the reorganization of state academies of sciences..." was signed. Today we are summing up the sad results of the process of destruction of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which, alas, continues.

On the consequences of new approaches to organizing contacts with foreign scientists

The order of the Ministry of Education and Science to regulate contacts between Russian scientists and foreigners could undermine the implementation of major government programs: the “5/100 program”, aimed at building the capacity of Russian universities, and the mega-grant program.

Science was discussed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum

What gaps do Russian science need to overcome, what is more important - the discoveries of individual scientists or scientific groups, what prevents business from accepting many of the ideas of modern scientists? Representatives of science, government and business spoke about this and many other things at the session "Great Challenges - an incentive for the development of science" of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2017.

The tasks of the national project "Science" can be achieved thanks to the efforts of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education and Science

The tasks set in the national project "Science" can be solved thanks to the well-coordinated joint work of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Minobranuki) of the Russian Federation, Head of the Ministry of Education and Science Mikhail Kotyukov said at a general meeting of the RAS.

The attention of officials to the research of scientists turns into only an increase in bureaucratic pressure

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about plans to lure the most successful Russian scientists back to Russia. Elected in September 2017, the new president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alexander Sergeev, energetically set to work (the two presidents met last January and were pleased with each other).

Story

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Education and Science of Russia) was formed in 2004 and was the legal successor of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, transformed in 1999 from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (1996-1999), which was formed from two departments: until 1996, the initial and secondary (including secondary specialized and vocational) education was managed by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation (1991-1996), and higher and postgraduate education and science - by the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education (1993-1996) and the Ministry of Science, Higher school and technical policy Russian Federation (1991−1993). The latter was reorganized (by transferring higher education issues to it from the Ministry of Education) from the Ministry of Science and Technical Policy of the RSFSR, which existed for only two weeks in November 1991, which united the departments of the USSR and the RSFSR: the State Committee of the RSFSR for Science and Higher Education, the State Committee of the USSR on science and technology. The Ministry of Education of the RSFSR (later the Russian Federation), established in 1988 (with the merger of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR and the State Committee of the RSFSR for Vocational Education), became the legal successor of the collapse of the USSR in 1991:

USSR State Committee for Public Education (-), formed as a result of the merger of three ministries of the USSR:
- Ministry higher and secondary special education USSR (Ministry of higher education of the USSR)
