The Medium-Term Forecast for the Development of Professional Education of the Russian Federation (by Level of Professional Education)[Среднесрочный Прогноз Развития Профессионального Образования Российской Федерации (По Уровням Профессионального Образования)]

The development of medium-term forecasts of the economy and finance of the education system, conducted by the Center for Continuous Education Economics of the RANEPA in previous years, made it possible to determine a number of requirements for this work. In particular, the initial data for the development of forecasts should be data from official statistics, as well as reports on the implementation of the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation in terms of education expenditure. In addition, for the development of forecasts, some ratios of normative nature are necessary: funding standards, permissible ratios of the number of children attending pre-school educational institutions, the number of places in them, the ratio of the number of children and pedagogical workers, the established (certain) ratios between the number of students in organizations of general school) education and teachers in them and some others. The possibility of changing these ratios allows the development of various variants of forecasts, which creates an information basis for the adoption of appropriate managerial decisions.
