Landscape of the future and “kill” certain professions: unmanned vehicles threaten the well-being of the driver’s profession, and blockchain threatens the future of the notary, FRII head Kirill Varlamov reasoned at the beginning of his presentation.

"We are starting to compete not for capital, but for the uganda whatsapp number list comfort of people's lives. Therefore, we must talk about education as part of the development of human capital. It includes much broader concepts. In terms of potential difference, Russia is in 26th place. But we are losing ground because other countries, for example, offer more interesting work."

Everything is fine with human capital in Russia: the Russian system really does allow us to train cool programmers, and the last world programming olympiad proved it once again: five teams from Russian universities were in the top ten. The victory also went to the Russians. "We have a fashion for higher education - such is the tradition. We treat high technologies with great respect, we know how to train high-quality programmers," Varlamov reasoned.

The problem, he is convinced, is not that Russia does not know how to train professionals, but that the system of transition of a young person from school to university, and from university to company, does not work here. "Schoolchildren now do not understand what professional prospects they have. At the same time, universities live on budget money and do not turn to companies to get an understanding of who they are preparing their graduates for."

Investments in human capital should become the main priority, the head of FRII emphasized. "In Russia, we say "expenses on education," and in the US, for example, they say "investments in education." Do you feel the difference?"

The curriculum is not agreed upon with employers. It is necessary to send not only students but also teachers to companies for internships. We need to understand where business can come into contact with higher education"
