MOSCOW, November 27 – RIA Novosti. Secondary vocational education should be free, says State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin. At the Government Hour in the State Duma, which will be held on Wednesday, issues of secondary vocational education in Russia, including the high level of commercialization of such institutions, will be discussed. “We will insist that secondary vocational education be free,” Volodin told reporters. He noted that the Minister of Labor, the Deputy Minister of Economic Development, the head of the Ministry of Education will speak at the meeting, deputies will be able to ask their questions, and representatives of the Duma specialized committees and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko will also state their position. According to Volodin, the topics of high commercialization of secondary technical education will be touched upon, since there are regions where the number of such paid educational organizations is more than 50%. In his opinion, it is also necessary to decide whether students who are going to receive secondary vocational education need to take the OGE. “Why take the OGE if the student plans to continue to receive secondary vocational education. We have a shortage of workers in working specialties. We must provide them with the opportunity to get a profession for free,” says the Chairman of the State Duma.

He noted that the Minister of Labor, the Deputy Minister of Economic Development, the head of the Ministry of Education will speak at the meeting, deputies will be able to ask their questions, and representatives of the Duma specialized committees and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko will also state their position.
According to Volodin, the topics of high commercialization of secondary technical education will be touched upon, since there are regions where the number of such paid educational organizations is more than 50%.
In his opinion, it is also necessary to decide whether students who are going to receive secondary vocational education need to take the OGE.
“Why take the OGE if the student plans to continue to receive secondary vocational education. We have a shortage of workers in working specialties. We must provide them with the opportunity to get a profession for free,” says the Chairman of the State Duma.
