OREANDA-NEWS. For some professions important for the Russian economy, it was proposed to return the specialist and abandon the Bologna education system, Radio 1 reports. The relevant bill was developed in the Federation Council, and Lilia Gumerova, chairwoman of the committee on science, education and culture, spoke about it.

Our committee has prepared a draft law, according to which the specialist is returned for those specialties where such a system is more effective than bachelor's and master's programs. This applies to mining engineers, representatives of the oil and gas industry of engineering specialties, doctors, she said.

A specialty may be a more suitable form of training for some specialties, Gumerova noted. At the same time, it will not be possible to abruptly abolish the Bologna system, but in some professions this can be done, she believes.

Now the issue is being discussed with university rectors, experts and representatives of relevant departments: is it necessary to change the legislation or is it enough by-laws.

Earlier, the President of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Eskindarov, urged not to rush to abandon the Bologna system, since Russia does not intend to close itself off from the world. He noted that such a system partially justified itself, although it changed the usual form of education.
