Conclusion


The information bulletin ‘Participation of parents in school education: choices, opportunities, involvement’ continues a series of publications of the National Research University Higher School of Economics on the results of monitoring of education markets and organizations. The bulletin presents the analysis of data of schoolchildren’s parents survey collected in the framework of the 14th   wave of the monitoring in 2016-2017. The accessibility of education (possibility of choosing a school, selection upon admission and transition from one education level to another one, coverage by additional education) is analyzed on the basis of assessments by parents of schoolchildren studying at schools of different types and organizational and legal forms. Involvement is seen as participation of parents in a child's school life, exerting the influence on the accessibility of services and educational outcomes. The conclusion is drawn that the barriers to accessibility of basic and supplementary programs are not significant and have been lowering. However the accessibility of high-level programs and quality of supplementary educational programs for children differ depending upon the socio-economic status of the families and the territory of residence. The outcomes of the research show that parents began to approach the choice of the school more consciously, but most parents are not sufficiently involved in school life. Parents’ strategies in respect of choosing a school and participating in school life vary depending upon the socio-economic and cultural level of the family, type of school and school location, educational achievements of schoolchildren

In the course of the survey there were obtained results describing the motivations and plans of students of vocational education institutions studying in mass professions and specialities. Main directions of both further educational and career trajectories were defined. It was found out that a very high proportion of students and their families are willing to pay for a high-quality education if they decide to continue education. At the same time students studying at vocational education institutions show a high interest in self-employment and starting their own business. It was revealed how federal educational standards that had come into effect recently influenced the students’ training at vocational education institutions. Ensuring the practice-oriented character of training in the system of secondary vocational education begins to equate the system of competitions Worldskills that sets world-class requirements for participants. Among the issues considered particular attention is paid to the implementation of new Federal state educational standards at education institutions, as well as to the attitude and assessment of those regulatory documents by the pedagogical community.In addition, the work includes the consideration of the importance and usefulness of the new phenomenon in the life of the professional education of the Russian Federation - the Worldskillsmovement.Along with the analyzing the recent respondents' answers, the report draws parallels with the data of the survey of teachers of secondary vocational education institutions of previous years. It was revealed that, according to the teachers themselves, approximately every third vocational education institution teaching in the areas of mass professions / specializations participated in the dual training system. At the same time, every fifth teacher does not have information about what this system is. It was stated that almost all teachers of vocational education institutions who were teaching students in mass professions / qualifications in the last three years had participated in different forms of additional training: qualification improvement, probation or professional re-training. The vast majority of teachers additionally improved or acquired new professional skills and competences
