Myth about universal higher education. Countries with the highest level of education

According to data published by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), more than half of the adult citizens of Russia in 2012 were owners of diplomas about higher education, more than in any other country in the world. In China, meanwhile, only four percent of the population could boast of higher education in 2012 - this is the lowest indicator.

The most educated, according to the results of a sociological study, it turns out to populate those countries where the cost of higher education is quite high, above average $ 13,957 per student. In the US, for example, this figure is $ 26,021 at a student, it is the highest in the world.

Korea I. the Russian Federation In 2011, they spent less than $ 10 thousand for each student, which is even below the average worldwide. And, nevertheless, they confidently occupy the leading places among the most educated countries of the world.

Below is a list of countries with the most educated world population:

1) Russian Federation

\u003e Percentage of the population with higher education: 53.5%

\u003e The cost of one student: $ 7 424 (the lowest)

More than 53% of adult Russians aged 25 to 64 had a higher education in 2012 in one form or another. This is the highest percentage among all countries in which the OECD study was conducted. The country managed to achieve such exceptional indicators Despite the record low costs - $ 7,424 per student, which is significantly lower than an average of $ 13,957. In addition, Russia is one of the few countries where the cost of education has decreased from 2008 to 2012.

2) Canada

\u003e Population percentage with higher education: 52.6%

\u003e Average annual growth rates (2000-2011): 2.3%

\u003e The cost of one student: $ 23,225 (2 place after the United States)

More than half of the Adult Canadians in 2012 were graduated specialists. Only in Canada and in Russia, the owners of diplomas about higher education among the adult population turned out to be the majority. However, Canada in 2011, Canada spent 23,226 dollars for each student, which lost only by the United States.

3) Japan

\u003e Population percentage with higher education: 46.6%

\u003e Average annual growth rates (2000-2011): 2.8%

\u003e The cost of one student: $ 16,445 (10th place)

As in the USA, Korea and Britain, most of the spending on higher education are private expenses. Of course, this leads to a larger stratification of society, however, it should be noted that, as in many other Asian countries, the Japanese tend to start digging money after the birth of a child. Unlike other countries, where there is no direct relationship between the cost and quality of training, in Japan, the high cost of learning gives excellent results - literacy 23% of the population is assessed by the highest point. It is almost twice as high as the average in the world (12%).

4) Israel

\u003e Population percentage with higher education: 46.4%

\u003e Average annual growth rates (2000-2011): no data

\u003e One Student Costs: $ 11,553

Most 18-year-old Israelites are called for an urgent service in the army, at least two years. Perhaps as a result of this circumstance, many residents of Israel receive higher education a little later than residents of other countries. However, military service does not affect the overall level of education in this country. 46% of the Israeli adult population had a higher education in 2012, although the cost of each student here is lower than the similar costs of other developed countries ($ 11,500).

5) USA

\u003e Population percentage with higher education: 43.1%

\u003e Average annual growth rates (2000-2011): 1.4% (the lowest)

\u003e The cost of one student: $ 26,021 (highest)

In 2011, the United States spent $ 26,000 for each student, which is almost twice as high as the average ($ 13,957) according to the OECD. Most of this amount are private expenses. The high cost of learning, however, justifies itself, since a significant number of Americans have high qualifications in various fields. It should be noted, however, that in the period between 2008 and 2011, due to financial problems, the funds allocated on state Educationwere significantly reduced.

Let us turn to the last time the thematic review of the field of education prepared by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which brings together the 35 most industrialized countries of the world today - Education AT A GLANCE 2017. It really follows that, according to the first of these minister of indicators, Russia is ahead of all OECD countries, except Canada, not to mention that the average OECD is one and a half times lower than the Russian. We only clarify that we are talking about a share of not in the total population of a particular country, but only about age groups in the range of 25-64:

Based on the estimates given by OECD in the same report, the second of the indicators specified by the minister is the share of young people who have not completed school - in Russia one of the lowest, compared with the OECD countries. And young people having a higher or secondary vocational education, on the contrary, again one of the highest:

"For the period from 1989 to 2014, the population of Russia, who received the highest education, grew more than twice, and the total number of universities in the country increased from 514 in 1991 to 896 in 2015, the country has formed an extensive segment of non-state universities. (41% of their total number), "was noted in a recent study of the Institute for Education HSE in Moscow. And often the level of 50% and more began to be perceived as an indicator of prevalence in the country precisely higher education. Clarification is required here.

According to the 2010 All-Russian census of the 2010 population, there were 83.384 million people in the country in age categories from 25 years to 64. Of these, 27.5 million declared the presence of higher education, that is, 33.4%, but not "more than half" from All, as often may be perceived by OECD estimates. "Many are confident that Russia is ahead of the coverage of the population, Russia is ahead of most other countries ... This fact was so established in the mass consciousness that his few people question. In fact, this point of view is a myth, not based on real statistical data, "experts note Higher School The economy is in a recent article for the newspaper "Vedomosti", which is also entitled: "Myth about universal higher education."

The fact is explained by the authors of the study published in the latest issue of the issues of education issues that the OECD statistics in the Tertiary Education category unites both people with higher education and graduates of technical schools and colleges: "Russian higher education is classified by OECD on international classification as ISCED5A , and medium professional - like isced5b. It is the prevalence of secondary vocational education that makes Russia one of the leaders in a kind of ranking of OECD countries. "

Indeed, in younger generations, higher education receives more and more people, they continue the same experts in the article for "Vedomosti", but this is an international trend, and Russia here is no exception: "in the UK, France, Germany the percentage of people with higher education above. Russia is at the same level with Latvia, Bulgaria and Poland ... OECD does not have independent data sources, and their assessments are based on Rosstat data. "

At the same time, the accessibility of higher education in Russia for young people at the age of 17-25 years will be much varied in the regions, the authors of another study of HSE are noted. There are in mind three parameters: the overall availability of places in universities of a region for those who want to learn, as well as the financial and territorial accessibility of higher education living in the region to young people. The average for regions of Russia, the overall indicator of such accessibility is 33%, while almost half of the regions - below 28%.

The authors of this study are also noted that in more than a third of the Russian regions of the youth, you just do not have the opportunity to get the "high-quality" higher education. As an indicator that characterizes the quality of education in the region, they use the share of students in the universities of the region enrolled at the first rate with the middle score of the USE from 70 points and higher. "The average score of the USE is not only an indicator of the selection of a university, but also indirectly talks about the quality of education," experts explain. "That is, it is assumed that, the more apprentice with a high assessment of their knowledge aspire to a specific university, the better education can be obtained in it."

As a result, the probability of becoming a student of a more "high-quality" university is higher in St. Petersburg and Moscow regions, Tomsk and Sverdlovsk regions. While in 29 regions there are no universities with the EGE score above 70, the authors of the study are concluded.

If you return to the OECD data, then in Russia, in Russia, 82% of adults with higher and middle professional education employed. This is just below the middle level by OECD countries (84%). Employment of recent graduates of universities in Russia, according to the latest monitoring of the Ministry of Education and Science, is 75%, which is also slightly lower than the average level of OECD countries (77%).

According to the data recently published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), more than half of adult Russians have the third stage diplomas (2012) - the equivalent of the College Diploma in the United States is more than in any other country where reviews were held. At the same time, in 2012, less than 4% of adults have possessed such qualifications, less than in other countries. Edition "24/7 Wall St." represents 10 countries with the most high levels Adults possessing college diplomas.

Usually the most educated population - in countries where the cost of education is higher. Education costs in the six most educated countries were higher than the average for OECD $ 13.957. For example, the costs of such an education in the United States are $ 26,021 per student, the largest in the world.

Despite the magnitude of investing in education, there are exceptions. Korea and the Russian Federation spent less than $ 10,000 at the student in 2011, significantly lower than the average for OECD. Nevertheless, they remain among the most educated.

Qualification does not always turn into great skills and skills. If among American college graduates only 1 out of 4 has excellent literacy, then in Finland, Japan and the Netherlands of such 35%. As the Schleiher explains, "we usually appreciate people according to formal diplomas, but the data give reason to believe that the value of the formal assessment of skills and skills in different countries differs significantly."

To determine the most educated countries In the world, "24/7 Wall St." Checked in 2012 10 countries with the highest number of residents aged 25 to 64 with higher education. The data was included in the OECD report "View on Education" 2014. 34 OECD member countries and ten countries are not considered. The report included data on the proportion of adults who received different levels of education, the level of unemployment and public and private expenses for education. We also reviewed the data review of adult skills OECD, which entered the advanced adult skills in mathematics and reading. The freshest numbers of education costs in countries belong to 2011.

Here are the most educated countries in the world:

  • The percentage of the population with higher education: 39.7%
  • The average annual growth rate (2005-2012): 5.2% (fourth above)
  • Higher education costs of one student: $ 16,095 (twelfth top)

Nearly 40% of Irish adults between the ages of 25 and 64 in 2012 had a higher education, 10th place among countries rated by OECD. Significant growth, because more than ten years ago, only 21.6% of adults in one form or another received higher education. The deterioration of employment chances in recent years made a higher education more attractive for residents of the country. More than 13% of the population in 2012 were unemployed, one of the highest levels among the countries considered. However, the unemployment rate among adults who received the formation of the college level was relatively low. The desire to obtain a higher education is particularly attractive to the citizens of the EU countries, since their training fees are largely subsidized by Ireland's government agencies.

  • Percentage of the population with higher education: 40.6%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 2.9% (13 below)
  • Higher education costs of one student: $ 10,582 (15 below)

World financial crisis It did not have such a sharp impact on higher education expenses in New Zealand, as in other countries. If government spending on education in a number of OECD member countries decreased over the period between 2008 and 2011, then government spending on education in New Zealand has grown more than 20% for the same time, this is one of the most significant increases. Nevertheless, the costs of higher education are low in comparison with other developed countries. In 2011, $ 10,582 was spent on a higher education at a student, less than an average of OECD - $ 13,957. Despite the costs of less average, however, the costs of all other forms of education amounted to 14.6% of the total government spending of New Zealand, more than any other of the countries under consideration.

  • Percentage of the population with higher education: 41.0%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 4.0% (11 from above)
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 14,222 (16 from above)

If many national economies, including the United States, between 2008 and 2011 grew, the economy of the United Kingdom decreased over the same period. Despite the decline, government spending on education as a percentage of GDP increased more than in any other country during this period. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries with a "sustainable approach to higher education financing" on the probe. Each student in the country has access to loans proportional to income, which means - until the student's income exceeds a certain threshold, the loan return is not required.

  • Percentage of the population with higher education: 41.3%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 3.5% (15 above)
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 16, 267 (11 from above)

More than $ 16,000 is spent on the highest education of one student in Australia, one of the highest levels in OECD. Australia's higher education system is one of the most popular among students from other countries, it attracts 5% of foreign students. Compared to this, the United States, in which many times the number of educational institutions, attract only three times more foreign students. And, apparently, higher education pays off for those graduates who remain in the country. The unemployment rate among local residents with higher education is lower than in almost all, with the exception of the handful of countries appreciated in 2012. In addition, almost 18% of adults demonstrate the highest literacy rate for 2012, significantly higher than the mean by OECD 12%.

  • Percentage of population with higher education: 41.7%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 4.8% (8 from above)
  • Higher education expenses of one student: $ 9,926 (12 below)

Despite the costs of less than $ 10,000 at the student who receives a higher education in 2011 is less than all the others on the list, except Russia, Korea residents are among the most educated in the world. Although in 2012, only 13.5% of adult Koreans aged 55-64 have a complete higher education, but among those who are from 25 to 34, such two thirds. The level of 50% was the largest improvement in generation among all countries. Almost 73% of higher education expenditures in 2011 provided private sources, second place in the world. The high level of private expenses leads to an increase in inequality. However, the growth of educational skills and educational mobility, apparently, is achieved due to the relatively objective access to the highest formation. Koreans were among those who most likely to gain access to higher education from all valued countries, according to OECD data.

  • Percentage of the population with higher education: 43.1%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 1.4% (the lowest)
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 26,021 (highest)

In 2011, in the United States, more than $ 26,000 was spent on the highest education of the middle student, almost twice the average for OECD $ 13.957. Private costs in the form of training fees give most of these expenses. To some extent, the cost of higher education pays off, since a large proportion of adults in the United States has a very high level of qualifications. Due to slowly growth in the past decade, the United States still lagged behind many states. If the costs of higher education on the Middle Student between 2005 and 2011 increased by 10% on average by OECD countries, then in the United States for the same period, expenses decreased. And the United States is one of the six countries that have reduced the cost of higher education between 2008 and 2011. Like other countries where education is managed by regional authorities, the level of acquisition of higher education is very different in different states of the United States, from 29% in Nevada to almost 71% in Colombia County.

  • The percentage of the population with higher education: 46.4%%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): no data
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 11,553 (18 from above)

Most 18-year-old Israelites are required to pay a mandatory for at least two years. military service. Perhaps as a result of this, residents of the country are later completed than in other countries. However, the obligatory appeal did not downgrade the level of higher education, in 2012, 46% of adults of Israelis had a higher education. In the same 2011, more than $ 11,500 was spent on the highest education of the middle student, less than in most other developed countries. Low education expenses in Israel as a result give low teacher salary. New school teachers who came to work with minimal preparation received in 2013 less than $ 19,000, with an average salary on OECD more than $ 32,000.

  • The percentage of the population with higher education: 46.6%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 2.8% (12 below)
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 16,445 (10 top)

As in the USA, Korea and the United Kingdom, private costs provide most of the expenses for higher education in Japan. Although it often leads to social inequality, but Schleicher explains that as in most Asian countries, Japanese families are mostly waged money on the formation of their children. Great expenses for education and participation in obtaining higher education do not always provide higher academic skills. However, in Japan, high expenses led to the best results, because more than 23% of adults showed the highest level of skills, almost twice the average on OECD at 12%. Young students, apparently, are well educated, since recently in 2012, Japan showed extremely high figures in the program of international assessment of students in mathematics.

  • Percentage of the population with higher education: 52.6%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): 2.3% (8 below)
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 23,225 (2 top)

More than half of the Canadians-adults in 2012 had a higher education, the only country, except Russia, where most adults have one or another higher education. Canadian expenses for the formation of a middle student in 2011 amounted to $ 23,226 approaching the US expenditures. Canadian students of all ages seem to be very well educated. High School students surpassed the students of most countries in mathematics in 2012 on Pisa. And almost 15% of adult countries demonstrated the highest level of skills - comparable from 12% on average according to OECD data.

1) Russian Federation

  • The percentage of the population with higher education: 53.5%
  • The average annual growth rate (2000-2011): no data
  • Expenses for higher education of one student: $ 27,424 (the lowest)

More than 53% of the adults of Russia between the ages of 25 and 64 in 2012 had one form or another form of higher education, more than all other countries estimated by OECD. The country has achieved such a wonderful level of involvement, despite the lowest costs of higher education. Russia's expenses for higher education are only $ 7.424 per student in 2010, almost half of the average for OECD $ 13,957. In addition, Russia is one of the few countries where the cost of education between 2008 and 2012 decreased.

I wrote to you specifically:

This year, URFU is receiving 4953 budget places. This is 224 places more than in the past, when there were 4729. An increase of 5% is a unique situation for the Ural University, given that on average the country's reception no longer changed. The most prominent "enlarges" in the group of physical and mathematical directions - from 302 to 356, and the group "Metal studies, mechanical engineering, material processing" - from 410 to 519 seats. Reducing the number of budget seats occurred in such directions as "Economics, Management", humanitarian and social directions. In addition, the largest of the federal - Ural University plans to take almost 5,000 people on the contract form.
http://urfu.ru/applicant/..kol-snova-vybirajut-urfu/ 50% of state employees, 50% of the platforms. Moreover, out of 50% of the playrs - most or evening, or receive the second higher. In groups on day form of training, it is free. But the data on the MEPI: http://www.mephi.ru/entra...t/entrant2010/konkurs.php 5017 budget places. Payments only 244. Here is the MSTU (nose in Magnitzka)): http://www.magtu.ru/abitu...ye-czifry-priema-vpo.html (the proportion of state employees to the platforms - 8/3) MIPT: http://mipt.ru/pk/priem2012.html (proportion of state employees to platforms - 8/2) SUUGU http://www.susu.ac.ru/ru/...ichestvo-byudzhetnyh-Mest 3000 thousand budget places (growth +183 people compared with last year). Altai http://altapress.ru/story/87733/ 6900 budget places in the universities of the region (from them most in the Altai Technical University). etc. etc.
As a result, 313 state universities, 54 non-state and 1 universities belonging to the regional authorities will receive the right to accept applicants for places whose financing will go from the federal budget. Note, we are talking about higher education programs. As for the programs of medium professional formation, which, too, is in higher education institutions, the budget financing will receive 13 non-state universities. In total, 351, 8 thousand budget places, from them, 288, 6 thousand are open in universities, subordinate to the Ministry of Education.
http://www.rg.ru/2012/06/01/byudjet-site.html 351.8 thousand budget places Open for entering Russian universities. Given that the entire graduates of schools who have passed the exam in Russia - about 700 thousand people, it turns out that every second of them can learn in universities free of charge! This is a very good indicator. In fact, to enroll in the university to the budget, it is enough to be in the upper half of the class under academic performance, that is, good teeth and even some drummers are quietly entering a budget form. And let the rest work on factories and farms. If everyone goes into science, then who will stand behind the machines? Edited: User78 ~ 15: 04/13/12
