The senator noted that, for example, the system of undergraduate and graduate programs is clearly not suitable for mining engineers.

“They don’t have time to train specialists.

Such proposals have been discussed in our committee, even formulated into an initiative, and we will continue to discuss it with relevant departments and experts.

We believe that there is a rational grain in this.

Now we need to rapidly transform the economy... Technical specialties will be in great demand,” explained Gumerova.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov proposed to return the traditional system of higher education in Russia.

As the parliamentarian explained, recently a discussion has been flaring up in the country about the correctness and effectiveness of the existence of the Bologna system of education, which involves a two-stage teaching system - bachelor's and master's degrees.

Also, in his opinion, a number of the most difficult professions can be mastered only through the classical five-year training - a specialty.
