Bargaining is appropriate

The reports that one of the defendants in the Forbs list is buying another club, a yacht, a villa, a shato, a castle, a palace, have already become so familiar that few people pay attention to them. The title of "Deripaska privatizes the Plekhanov Academy" causes a much greater interest in the reader, and not because he is worried about the expansion of the assortment of purchases, but because he understands: a new area is subject to privatization, this time - objects of educational infrastructure. Divate journalists did not fail to recall that in fact this is not the first experience of entering business sharks in education, the precedent was already: Khodorkovsky bought the RSU, the experiment did not end very well . But with the Plekhanov Academy, the case of another - its rector Vitaly Vidyapin asked Vladimir Putin to turn the university into an autonomous organization with a private co -founder ("Kommersant" ). According to the rector, we are talking about "the implementation of a private-state partnership in the field of education, or the creation of a new type of university." The process will go into three stages, for starters, the university plans to get the status of an autonomous non -profit organization (ANO) and invite Oleg Deripaska to the co -founders, then five years, from 2006 to 2011, will “work out the partnership mechanisms”, and after five years, at the third stage, it is supposed to develop a federal legislative initiative. Well, in general, in ten years ANO - ChGP will become legitimate.

In the meantime, the Rector Vidyapin says that state bodies should conduct an assessment of the university and "if we are estimated at $ 100 million, then the share of the co -founder will not be 50 million, but 100". For that kind of money, the rector believes, you can create "real Western University - not Oxford, but Stanford, who works on a practical -oriented basis", a university with a "sports palace, a cinema, boutiques and hairdressers."

How much the university is needed, which is not in the clean field, but in the capital of Russia, its own boutiques, to solve the co -founders; The reader, especially the network, shows : “The Law of the Russian Federation on Non -Profit Organizations. Article 10. Autonomous non -profit organization, which states: “ Property transferred to the autonomous non -profit organization by its founders (founder) is the property of an autonomous non -profit organization. The founders of an autonomous non -profit organization do not retain the rights to property transferred by them to the ownership of this organization, "and in paragraph 2 it is stated that" an autonomous non -profit organization has the right to carry out entrepreneurial activities corresponding to the goals for which the specified organization was created. "

The combination of the articles of the Law and 100 million that the founder will transfer to the university, indicates that this can be done so good gesheft and rightfully, legally, to engage in entrepreneurial activity in the field of education. It is not necessary to frighten unsuccessful experience, because another minute is to search - and you have evidence that there are examples of much more successful construction of the “Education - Business” and “Business - Education” chains.

Of course, the transformation of the Plekhanov Academy into ANO and millions of its potential founder is a fascinating, but some local plot, except for the short story. In general, the picture is much larger, an epic, one might say, canvas. The fact that business, led by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) decided to help education, became known more than two years ago . During this time, it turned out that the role of the philanthropists of entrepreneurs is not satisfied, this “absolutely dead end” approach and say with the state the business will not be a business as a sponsor, but as a partner. Even in the first decade of March in St. Petersburg, during the “round table” “Interaction of business and education in the implementation of the priority national project,“ President of the RSPP, Alexander Shokhin, said that “the control package in this case remains behind the state: the financial donor, in turn, gets the opportunity to control the expenditure of resources invested in the training.”

What does business offer in the framework of the Education project
1. To develop an independent system of rating of universities.
2. Changing organizational and legal forms of educational institutions so that sponsors can participate in the management of them.
3. Provide tax benefits to employers who support universities.
4. Develop a new bill on state support for educational lending.
5. Create a national development agency for professional qualifications.

Keywords here, of course, are a “control package”, more precisely, you need to say a “control package of shares”. Where shares appear, a joint -stock company, shareholders, and the cost of shares appear. How and what determines the value of the company's shares? In particular, her place in the ranking of her own kind. Therefore, representatives of the business, Mr. Shokhin noted , should participate in the development of requirements for the education system and conduct ratings of educational institutions.

The formula "any whim for your money" learned during the wild capitalism worked - the first ratings have already appeared .

It is difficult to say how much they help potential buyers in determining the cost of an object of absorption, but for the layman it is a fascinating reading. Well, who, for example, heard something about the Ivanovo State Energy University? Few. Probably much more people heard about St. Petersburg University. "Saranfan Radio" is one thing, the rating is a completely different cranks. So know, people, consumers and buyers that the Ivanovo Institute (9th place) overtakes both St. Petersburg University (15th) and the legendary Moscow Fiztekh (11th). What is the fact that the Novorossiysk State Academy takes 78th place, the RSUSU is 47-48, and MGIMO-the 23rd? If someone wants to become a captain of the long-range voyage, it is difficult to assume that he will choose a humanitarian university. If the company is engaged in passing business, it is unlikely that it will be invested in specialists in international journalism. But this is the look of the layman with his sober logic.

The ratings, as they explain , are needed in order to abandon the "equalnigis" in financing and determine a group of leaders - these are 20 universities that will receive national status. They will allocate 5 thousand dollars a year from Gosquiting for each student. About 300 universities will fall into the second group, they will be called interregional and will receive 3 thousand dollars for each student. In the third group, there will be another 600 universities - they will allocate 2 thousand each year. The rejection of the "equalization", from "universal equality", the introduction of gradation financing is a wonderful idea, the rating is a tool for its implementation, it seems to be quite suitable. But you should look at the first two lines of the proposed rating:

If you do not try to prove that 4 are more than 6 and 26, that 0.39 is less than 0.06, then understand the grounds on which MVTU takes 1st place, and MSU 2nd is impossible, there can be only reasons for this.

But the conflict is not only inside the same rating, but also between the ratings, because there is also a rating of universities from the Ministry of Education and Science, which is “ certainly objective, but is based primarily on costly indicators, such as, for example, the number of doctors of science ”; And by the end of summer, his rating, reflecting the needs of employers, promised to draw up "Business Russia".

"Without the king in the head" - they say about
The head is weak and notable ...
I will neither against nor I will say anything;
In the head, the king, perhaps, is needed.

(V.S. Likhachev)

But there will be a rating, because in Russia it is necessary to introduce a system of rating assessments of universities , ”the president said at a meeting with 24 captains of Russian business . To begin with, the president informed the captains that the state had fulfilled its obligations to them and set a land fee under privatized objects at the level of 2.5 percent of the cadastral value, and then advised them to "take a direct part in the educational process, in conducting classes, and granting exams" and called on them to mobilize to the decision of national projects, in particular, in the field of education. And the head of the RSPP, Alexander Shokhin, once again said that businessmen still would like to mitigate tax administration and limit the terms of tax audits.

All these ANO, control packages, ratings, founders, state property, ownership of lease and tax extensions indicate that within the framework of a national project, is it outside it, but the process in education has gone - the privatization process.
