As Vetrov recalled, during the Soviet era, the system of pre-educational preparation of applicants and the subsequent professional distribution of graduates operated successfully.
This approach helped provide certain areas of the economy and national economy with the necessary personnel, and was also an effective tool for employing young specialists, RT’s interlocutor emphasized.
“I ask you to evaluate the feasibility of returning to the Soviet experience of vocational distribution of graduates of secondary and higher educational institutions, as well as introducing a process of vocational guidance for high school students,” the text of the appeal says.
For example, university graduates participating in the distribution process could qualify for free or reduced-price education as an incentive to participate, and school and lyceum students could undergo mandatory state testing, which could become the basis for further choice of profession, Vetrov suggested.
In his opinion, an experiment on the professional distribution of graduates should be carried out in a number of areas of the domestic economy that are scarce and important in terms of personnel.
Earlier, Vetrov proposed evaluating the idea of establishing a specialized state award for minor children who perform outstanding and heroic deeds in difficult conditions.
