Round Table "Trust and Control in the Education System in the conditions of the "Regulatory Guillotine"14.02.20
On February 14, 2020, Erika Soboleva, Director General of AKKORK, participated as an expert in the round table "Trust and control in the education system in the conditions of the "regulatory guillotine", organized by the National Research University "Higher School of Economics".The event was held in the framework of the Seventeenth Annual Conference Trends in Education Development: "How to plan and implement effective educational reforms", which was held at the Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences on February 13-15, 2020.
The discussion of the "regulatory guillotine" in education touched upon not only certain outdated norms, but also the systemically important institutions: licensing, state accreditation, and federal state control of education quality. It is noted that these institutions create a large control burden on educational organizations. In 2020, the state needs to decide what the new system of state regulation of educational activities will look like.
The purpose of the discussion was to receive feedback from the expert community on the issues of state control (supervision) and mandatory requirements in the field of education subject to verification.
The following issues were discussed during the round table:
- Can the educational system do without licensing, state accreditation and federal state quality control of education?
- What risks and advantages does the cancellation of state accreditation entail?
- Are educational organizations ready to take responsibility for quality management?
- Has Russia established a trusting environment in education?
- What role should state and non-state procedures play in education quality assessment and quality management?
The round table became a platform for a dialogue between representatives of public authorities and the education community (experts in the field of education management and quality assessment, SPE organizations, universities, etc.).
The lively discussion made it possible to identify acute problems and to outline the ways of their solution. Participants expressed hope that the proposed measures would help to reduce the regulatory burden on educational organizations and improve the efficiency of government control.
