Index of educational infrastructure of the regions of the Russian Federation. Corporation "Russian textbook" presented at SPIEF the results of the study "index of educational infrastructure of regions
The high level of development of educational infrastructure significantly increases the attractiveness of the territory for qualified specialists, the authors of the study believe.
On June 1, 2017, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Higher School of Economics and the Russian Textbook Corporation presented the results of the study "Index of Educational Infrastructure of Russian Regions".
The authors of the study announced the leading regions of the country with the highest values of the Education Infrastructure Index. Only the educational infrastructure was assessed, and not the level of education in general. In terms of the level of general education, Moscow's leadership is indisputable, whose index is much higher than other regions. This once again shows the high potential created by the Russian capital for schoolchildren to receive a quality education at the level of world leaders.
Experts named other leaders in general education, including the Tyumen, Yaroslavl and Novgorod regions.
In the field of preschool education, the leader is the Murmansk region, in the field of additional education - the Tyumen region, in the field of secondary vocational education - the Chuvash Republic.
The Index of Educational Infrastructure of Russian Regions is a new analytical tool for regional administrations and education authorities. It allows solving two urgent problems - increasing the efficiency of investment decisions of educational authorities and increasing the attractiveness of the education sector for extrabudgetary investments.
For objectivity of comparison, regions with similar socio-economic indicators are grouped into clusters. The index serves as a basis for setting priorities and adjusting regional programs for the development of education.
According to the authors of the study, the high level of development of the educational infrastructure significantly increases the attractiveness of the territory for qualified professionals, who are critically important in which schools their children will study.
The developed infrastructure attracts the best teachers from other regions. In other words, it contributes to the growth of the quality of life in the territory. Ultimately, all these factors affect the attractiveness of the region for private investors and the possibility of realizing the economic potential of the subject of the Russian Federation. In addition, the use of the proposed approaches can improve the efficiency of public investment in education in the region.
As part of the presentation of the study, a discussion was held on the topic “How to invest in education to make your region successful?”

Company information
The Russian Textbook Corporation was founded in 2017. It includes the Drofa, Astrel, Ventana-Graf publishing houses, as well as the LECTA digital educational platform. Today, the Russian Textbook Publishing Corporation has the largest portfolio of textbooks included in the Federal List - 485 titles (about 38%).
The portfolio of the corporation consists of textbooks and manuals for elementary school traditionally highly demanded among Russian teachers, awarded the Presidential Prize in Education, as well as popular lines of educational and methodological kits in physics, chemistry, biology, geography, technology, drawing, and astronomy.
The Corporation cooperates with advanced training institutes for educators in 80 regions of the Russian Federation, which makes it possible to provide more than 220,000 teachers with methodological support every year. The LECTA digital educational platform is currently the best solution on the market for the distribution and use in the educational process of textbooks in electronic form, the requirement for the creation of which was formulated by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in 2014.
Today at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum there will be a presentation of a large-scale study by the National Research University Higher School of Economics and the corporation "Russian Textbook" "Index of Educational Infrastructure of Russian Regions". HSE experts analyzed the condition of school and kindergarten buildings, the composition of teaching staff and the conditions for teaching disabled people. It turned out that the highest level of staffing is in vocational education (1.5 times higher than in preschool and school). But the material and technical support of schools and kindergartens, on the contrary, is better than in technical schools and colleges.
According to the study, the work on which took almost a year and a half, the average index of the educational infrastructure of the subjects for 2015 was 0.48 (on a scale from 0 to 1). This is 0.02 higher than in 2014. This indicator consists of a study of personnel, buildings of schools and technical schools, information resources and much more. The index is in the middle zone - the experts did not single out either critically weak or positively advanced regions.
In terms of levels of education (preschool, school, additional and vocational), the indices for the country as a whole also turned out to be average: from 0.43 for preschool to 0.56 for secondary vocational education.
Maxim Lozovsky, Deputy General Director of the Russian Textbook Corporation, explained to Izvestiya that the situation varies in the regions.
We laid this principle in the index. It should become a signal for local authorities, educational authorities and a basis for the exchange of experience. The authorities will be able to study in detail the situation in their region and compare it with other subjects, he said.
The most uneven in 2015 were the indicators of the quality of the regional educational infrastructure. The values of regional indices ranged from 0.21 to 0.75, with the average Russian value of 0.46.
HSE experts found that the best school education is in the Kaliningrad region (2nd and 3rd places - Krasnodar Territory and Leningrad Region). The best preschool - in the Kamchatka Territory (2nd and 3rd places - Kursk and Magadan regions).
The staffing index turned out to be the highest in vocational education (0.67). This is 1.5 times higher than similar indicators for preschool (0.40) and school (0.45) education.
According to the people's teacher of Russia, director of the capital's Education Center No. 548 "Tsaritsyno" Efim Rachevsky, the personnel issue remains one of the most acute today.
Of all the resources, the most expensive is personnel. Everything else is secondary. Today there are problems with the study of mathematics, physics, chemistry. These subjects have not been trends in higher education in the last 20 years. New universities taught designers, psychologists, economists, lawyers and journalists, - explained Yefim Rachevsky.
Therefore, now there is a high demand for natural science specialties.
The index of material and technical equipment of vocational and additional education remains relatively low (0.53 and 0.52). In school and preschool education, the situation with computers and repairs is noticeably better (0.63 and 0.61).
Viktor Bolotov, scientific director of the Center for Monitoring the Quality of Education at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, noted that the infrastructure, including the staff of an educational institution, is the minimum "gentleman's set" of the region. Its presence makes it possible to potentially guarantee the quality and accessibility of education, "but how it is used is the subject of research."
The index of inclusion turned out to be at the lowest mark. On average in Russia, it amounted to 0.23–0.33.
This is due to the fact that attention to inclusive education began to be paid relatively recently. Just a few years ago, new requirements and standards began to appear, they began to use the existing infrastructure of general education and the regional network of educational institutions in a new way, - Maxim Lozovsky noted.
According to him, the positive dynamics in the country is already visible. He called it the low start effect.
Alexei Mayorov, deputy head of the staff of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science, told Izvestia that the education system is not yet ready to teach children with special needs in ordinary schools. This is also due to the fact that there are specialized institutions for children with disabilities in the country.
The high level of development of educational infrastructure significantly increases the attractiveness of the territory for qualified specialists, the authors of the study believe.
