Abstract. An international experience shows that the sustainable development of the society notably depends on the quality of the human factor which is characterized by the lifetime, gross domestic product, and education level. This defines the status and significance of education in the field of quality. The article highlights the issues concerning the organization of the system of multilevel continuing education in the field of economics of quality within the U.N.O. conception “Education for Sustainable Development”. Such kind of education is treated as an essential factor to achieve the balanced and well-off functioning of all social spheres. The paper discusses some results of the experience in creation of such system in St.-Petersburg.

Abstract. This paper conducts comparative analysis of Russian universities’ positions in international and Russian rating systems. Particular attention is paid to universities that have obtained special statuses: “Federal University”, “National Research University” and also to universities that participate in federal project “5-100”. This project targets the Russian universities to be in top-100 world universities by the year of 2020. The main research interest is to ascertain how federal universities and national research universities fulfil the task to improve their positions in international rating systems. The article shows that after five and more years passed after universities got special statuses, some Russian universities without such statues have better positions in international and Russian rating systems. The paper suggests that it is necessary to improve principles and criteria for assignment of special positions to universities and revise the statuses of universities on the basis of their positions in rating systems.

Abstract. The paper proposes to shift the center of gravity of the development of postgraduate educational programs discussion in a social discursive field in which inconsistencies and uncertainties in the existing regulatory and legal framework of the modernization process of training and certification of highly qualified scientific personnel are brought into correlation with the main target – degree thesis preparation. The interest to the institution of postgraduate study and dissertation theses in Russian society is constantly decreasing. The results of comparing the education at graduate and postgraduate levels, as well as the existing postgraduate studies models in the world are given. The authors come to a conclusion that the social problems of post-graduate institution are much more significant than any the educational programs preparation problem.

Keywords: highly qualified scientific personnel, certification system, post-graduate study, scientific school, federal state educational standards, educational programs, qualification, degree thesis, economy of Russia

Abstract. The article analyzes the problem of estimation the level of graduates’ professional competence formation; suggests the methodical approach to the assessment of graduate’s competencies with the participation of employers. The authors formulate the necessary conditions for the practical implementation of this approach. The approach is based on the idea that checking the level of competences formation is possible only in conditions of real working environment. During practice-integrated training employers for a definite period can monitor the development and formation of students’ professional qualities. The most important thing is that employers can monitor the formation of key competencies that should be present in all areas of training. The paper presents the results of the practical testing of the proposed approach on the example of Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service.

Abstract. The paper suggest the methodological approach to increase the efficiency of educational institution activity on the basis of analysis of foreign and Russian experience on creation and development of quality systems. The authors consider the features of formation and improvement of the quality system in educational institutions on the basis of the standard quality system model based on the methodological provisions of the standards and recommendations of ENQA and the standards ISO series 9000 version 2000. In connection with the approval of ISO 9001 : 2015 there is a need to improve the standard quality system model for educational institution. The authors suggest ways to solve this problem basing on the methodological principles of this standard. Special attention is paid to the process approach and leadership of the head. In particular, the feasibility of establishing integrated management systems and quality systems for educational institutions is marked out.

CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT EDUCATION ACCREDITATION
PYSHKIN Andrey N. – Head of Academic Programs Evaluation Center, Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow, Russia. E-mail: [e-mail]
Abstract: The article proposes conceptual approaches to the independent accreditation of academic programs in management. These approaches are based on the analyses of some project within Federal Education Development Program and author’s participation experience in a couple of them. Developed with the Ministry’s support in 2011–2015 independent accreditation and monitoring models are not widespread, the new assessment organizations didn’t appear, and independent accreditation tools are almost equal to those that are used in the procedures of the state accreditation. The concept proposes alternative approaches to the structure, procedure and the content of the independent accreditation that can be used in the framework of the Federal Support Policy and for development of independent accreditation system for leading programs in management.

Keywords: educational programs in management, independent accreditation, professional and public accreditation, potential evaluation
