OREANDA-NEWS. Armada OAO (MICEX-RTS: ARMD) has completed a project for development of mechanisms for collecting and processing of information on documents issued in the course of provision of the state service for accreditation of educational activities in constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The project has been done at the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

The work was carried out within the framework of the Federal Target Programme on the Development of Education in Russia for 2011-2015 and was aimed at creation of the education quality management system providing access to educational services and options, creation of a unified information system in the sphere of education, and development of the education quality assessment system.

Until recently, information on the state accreditation of educational establishments was in scattered form stored in the archives of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Besides, a number of constituent entities had obsolete electronic databases of such information and maintained paper archives, which significantly hampered the work with the accreditation information available to the executive authorities and complicated the process of preparing the information on the issuance of the relevant documents, including through interagency cooperation channels.

As part of the contract Armada's specialists developed mechanisms allowing to consolidate all accreditation information in a single electronic database and ensuring their legal force with the use of electronic signatures, created information components enabling collection and processing of information on documents issued in the course of provision of the state service for accreditation of educational activities.

The developed information components will enable to analyze the procedure of state accreditation performed by regional authorities exercising the delegated powers in the sphere of education in Russia, receive the information on documents, if any, issued to applicants in the course of provision of the state service for state accreditation.
