At a recent forum sponsored by the newspaper "Vedomosty" and the "Bazovy Element" company, their was unanimous agreement that Russian higher education is unable to meet the market's contemporary requirements in skilled specialists.
The propose answer - "the quality of education could be enhanced and it could be turned into an instrument for promoting the social status of the most gifted and industrious people," ONLY by means of cooperation between the business circles, the state and the higher schools themselves.
It sounds to me like somebody or somebodies in Russia want to go the fopro route.
According to the Dean of Moscow State University - participation of businessmen in decision-making could help the higher schools a lot in their effort to battle corruption.
Battle corruption? But isn't that what goes wrong with fopros in the states after business gets involved?
Didn't anyone tell the Russians that?
I wonder if the big players in the US know that Russia is becoming very friendly to the idea of businesses taking a more active part in education in Russia.
Should someone tell them?
What do you think?
