System of state accounting and statistics in the field of training for medicine and education

2024: Work to build the system

On July 30, 2024, Prime Minister RFMikhail Mishustin gave orders aimed at improving the training system in the field of education and health care. In particular, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and Science were instructed to consider the proposals of the Federation Council on the issue of providing regions with such specialists.

Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko believes that Russia requires the creation of a centralized system of state accounting and statistics in the field of training for medicine and education. In her opinion, it is necessary to update the state policy in the field under consideration, as well as find legal mechanisms so that graduates after graduation work out at least three years in their profile. It is assumed that the creation of GIS for accounting and statistics in the field of training for medicine and education will help in making competent management decisions.

It is extremely difficult to get up-to-date statistics on staffing in education and health care. The data is disparate and very different. Who works for one and a half rates, how many and which doctors are missing, in which subjects there is a shortage of teachers, and so on, says Matvienko.

In accordance with the order of Mishustin, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and Science, it is necessary to submit possible decisions on the development of a legal mechanism providing for the conditions for employment of graduates of higher and secondary professional medical and pedagogical educational institutions in state and municipal organizations. In addition, these departments were instructed to assess the needs of subjects for specialists in the areas under consideration and send information to the government by February 1, 2025.^[1]
