The need to modernize additional education (DO) has long been ripe, it is planned to be implemented until 2020 - in accordance with the Concept approved by government decree No. 1726-r of 04.09.2014.
What is continuing education?
Additional education refers to excess programs that are not included in the list of compulsory studies, according to federal and regional standards.
In the field of DO, there are enough problems:
- There is no effective monitoring to evaluate the quality of the program and student knowledge.
- The training base and infrastructure are outdated.
- Parents, teachers, and children lack motivation.
The above list is not complete. The development concept mentioned above is designed to update existing continuing education and increase its competitiveness.
Mission
The document focuses on the mission, goals and objectives, the implementation of which will allow to radically shift the emphasis in the existing educational system. This is necessary, since the task of massively providing compulsory education and making secondary specialized and higher education more accessible has been solved.
The values and needs of modern society are changing - the mission of continuing education is changing. The concept sees her:
- In creating the conditions for the personal development of children, providing them with opportunities for self-expression.
- Motivations of the younger generation for creative, scientific, sports, labor development.
- Implementation of variability in training programs, their personalization.
This means that in 2020, the attractiveness of the DO system will increase significantly, because it will be based on the “education for man” model. The value of this model is in personalization and free choice of training programs, increasing motivational potential, openness.
Tasks
The existing DO system is a kind of “social elevator” for the child. In educational institutions, preschoolers and schoolchildren receive basic training in the amount necessary for normal development. Mandatory training is the right of all children, regardless of the social status, health and financial situation of the family in which they are raised.
The guideline is not a personalized approach, but a subject study aimed at the result. The implementation of the Concept of Continuing Education for Children until 2020 will allow us to solve this and other equally important tasks:
- It will create favorable conditions for children's and teenage initiatives, their successful implementation.
