Council of Europe, Strasbourg, 7 February 2003
The Council of Europe is now firmly established as
an important contributor to the Bologna Process, in
several ways...
On
the Principles for Forming the Federal Budget for
2003 Regarding the Financing of Education
The Federal Assembly of the
Russian Federation
The State Duma
Committee on Education and Science
Decision #61-1, May 24, 2002.
After reviewing the issue on the principles
for forming the federal budget for 2003 with regards
to the financing of education expenditures, the Committee
thinks that when drafting the federal law "On
Federal Budget for 2003" the Government of the
Russian Federation should make development of education
a priority issue and consider the provisions aimed
at developing the education sector contained in the
Address of the President of the Russian Federation
to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation,
materials of the discussion "Modern Education
Policy of Russia" from the meeting of the State
Council of the Russian Federation, the Concept of
Modernisation of Education in Russia for the Period
Until 2010 and the National Education Doctrine. |

| On
the support of the initiative group in creation of
a free trade union of university teachers in Russia
Statement by YABLOKO's Bureau,
February 21, 2013
New laws adopted in the field of education
endanger the future of Russia and arouse fair concerns
not only from the civil society but also for the professionals
working in this sector.
Many teachers decided to actively
participate in the public debate and started looking
for other forms of communication of their position
to the society. One of such forms is creation of a
free trade union of university teachers which was
initiated by a group of high school professors and
teachers. Unfortunately, the voice of this "official"
trade union was virtually unheard in discussion of
the [government’s] bills, and a broad attack
on the rights of workers of the education sector undertaken
by the government, has not got due assessment on behalf
of the trade union.
The Bureau of the Russian United Democratic
Party YABLOKO supports the initiative of creation
of the Free Trade Union of Russian University Teachers
and believes that position of the professional community
should form a basis for a dialogue between the government
and society... |
| The
Ministry of Education and Science is inefficient,
not universities
Statement by YABLOKO leader
Sergei Mitrokhin in connection with dismissal of Sergei
Baburin, Rector of the Russian University for Trade
and Economy (RGTEU),
December 26, 2012.
At present we can observe an attack
against the remnants of independence of the Russian
university education. Sergei Baburin, Rector of RGTEU,
was dismissed from his post by the order of the Ministry
of Education on December 24. This decision is an act
of political violence by the Ministry of Education
against the rector, who demanded from the Ministry
to explain why and under what criteria his university
had been listed as "inefficient" and had
had to be merged with another university.
I believe that the dismissal of Sergei Baburin, Rector
of RGTEU, is unlawful and only aggravates the situation
around the merger of universities. It
is surprising that federal television channels are
employed in the fight against the students and the
former rector RGTEU. The pieces of news broadcasted
by TV diminish the role and significance of Sergei
Baburin as an academic... |

Yavlinsky: education and health care should be among
the priorities of the state policy

of the YABLOKO faction in the St.Petersburg Legislative

on November 13, 2012.
According to Yavlinsky, health care
and education are the most fundamental sectors for
the future of Russia. He criticised the policies of
the present Russian government, "Recently Prime
Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that the expenditures
on education in the coming years will be the same
as expenditure on the defence. First, this is not
quite true, consolidated defence expenditures are
considerably higher. Second, these things can not
be compared. Indeed, the security of the country virtually
bases on the high quality of education"... |
