The Ministry of Education proposes to take schoolchildren to factories – Kommersant

First Deputy Minister of Education Alexander Bugaev proposed using the experience of Soviet times for career guidance for schoolchildren. Mr. Bugaev, in particular, is confident that in order to successfully choose a path in life, it is necessary to organize “days without turnstiles” – excursions to enterprises, during which schoolchildren will be able to become better acquainted with real production technologies and “get away from the stereotype that working in factories is not prestigious “

“A serious issue that hinders this work is the stereotypes of the past period, when production is not presented in the best light. “We have to work with the parent community, explain that modern production is high-precision technology,” complained the deputy head of the Ministry of Education. “Modern workers are, first of all, engineering and technical personnel who work with serious software on serious equipment in completely different conditions.”

Let us remind you that recently colleges are increasingly competing with universities for applicants. “Kommersant” wrote in detail about the reasons why schoolchildren prefer to receive secondary vocational education rather than higher education. Employers note that they are interested in young specialists regardless of their level of education, and in search of potential employees, large companies hold events in educational institutions of different levels.
