Minister of Education Krabtsov boasted that over the past 5 years the number of people seeking to study at the college has increased from 900 thousand to 1.4 million people, and the competition has gone from one person to three places. That is, do I understand correctly that the state deliberately directs some of the applicants to post-primary education instead of higher education, without worrying about increasing places in the schools? Or do we not want more people with specialized secondary education, but want the cost of training even for blue collar jobs to become accessible only to children from rich families? By the way, what about the Bologna system, which the Ministry of Education haunted us with throughout our youth, every year changing standards from Russian to European. What happened?!
