| Annotation: | The challenges that the current geopolitical situation continues to pose to our state place special demands on the training of qualified personnel for domestic enterprises, including in the higher education system. The article considers topical aspects of the quality of Russian education in the context of the current stage of socio-economic development. The author does not share the standpoint of some representatives of the academic community about the crisis in today’s Russian higher education, but considers insufficient the actions to improve the quality of higher education undertaken by both higher education institutions themselves and the state. According to the author, in order to deepen the analysis of the quality of Russian higher education, it is advisable to separate the concepts of quality of education and education quality assurance. He considers the employers’ community to be the main stakeholder of quality of education, which determines both the need to build an effective university– employer dialogue and a thoughtful policy on these issues on the part of the state bodies governing the domestic higher school. The author’s recommendations, which relate to quality of education insurance, are aimed primarily at a more thoughtful and balanced use of the possibilities of digitalization of education in the educational process. Regarding the assessment of quality of education by state higher education management bodies, it is recognized that there is an excessive emphasis on the compliance of educational and methodological documentation of higher educational institutions with the requirements of Federal Educational Standards, especially in the presence of approved professional standards prepared by the employer community. In the organization and conduct of state accreditation procedures, it is recognized that it is advisable to use methods tested within the framework of professional and public accreditation. | ||
