The president
Russian Federation
B. Yeltsin

To begin with, we note that a number of changes were made to the Law of the Russian Federation of July 10, 1992 No. 3266-1 “On Education”. Significant ones include the following.

Firstly, now it is expressly prohibited to conduct educational activities in the representative offices of an educational institution. This is stated in paragraph 7 of Article 12 of Law No. 3266-1. Previously, this paragraph provided that branches, departments, structural subdivisions of an educational institution may, by its power of attorney, fully or partially exercise the powers of a legal entity.

Federal Law No. 260-FZ of November 10, 2009 establishes that branches, departments and structural subdivisions that exercised the powers of a legal entity in whole or in part under the powers of attorney of educational institutions and are included in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities are excluded from this register. It is also said that their legal status should be brought into line with the legislation and charters. These activities must be completed by November 13, 2010.

Secondly, earlier, according to Article 20 of Law No. 3266-1, the Government of the Russian Federation was to establish the procedure for approving the lists of professions and specialties for which training was provided in educational institutions of vocational education.

The new version of this article transferred these powers to the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia (unless otherwise provided by federal laws). Moreover, when the ministry approves new professions and areas of training (specialties), it must establish their compliance with individual professions and areas of training (specialties), which are indicated in the previous lists of professions and areas of training (specialties) or in All-Russian classifier specialties in education. Such compliance will allow educational institutions to carry out educational activities on the basis of their existing licenses and certificates of state accreditation before the expiration of these documents.

New in the legislation on higher and postgraduate professional education

Amendments were also made to the Federal Law of August 22, 1996 No. 125-FZ “On Higher and Postgraduate Vocational Education”. In particular, this law has been amended. Thus, the norm was excluded from it, which referred to the functions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia the development and approval of exemplary curricula and educational programs of higher and postgraduate professional education, the organization of the publication educational literature and production of teaching aids.

Levels of higher education: what has changed

The text of Article 4 of Federal Law No. 232-FZ of October 24, 2007 has been changed (it amended other laws regarding the establishment of levels of higher professional education). Previously, this law determined the final terms during which the rules on training in higher educational institutions for undergraduate, specialist and master's programs are in force. As well as the deadlines for admission to universities for training in these programs. These are December 31 and 30, 2009, respectively. Law No. 260-FZ postponed these deadlines to December 31 and 30, 2010.

In addition, in the same article there is a rule according to which the qualification " certified specialist", assigned by an accredited university before the termination of training in the Russian Federation under such programs, is equated to the qualification (degree) "specialist". This article has now been updated. Persons with the qualification "certified specialist" have the right to continue their studies on a competitive basis in the master's program of the appropriate level. And this is not considered as getting them a second higher professional education.

Article 11. Admission to a higher educational institution and training of specialists with higher and postgraduate professional education

1. Admission to state and municipal higher educational institutions for undergraduate and specialist training programs is carried out on the basis of applications from persons with secondary (complete) general or secondary vocational education, on a competitive basis based on the results of the unified state exam.

The conditions of the competition should guarantee the observance of the rights of citizens to education and the enrollment of citizens who are the most capable and prepared to master educational programs appropriate level.

For admission to state and municipal higher educational institutions for learning in areas of training (specialties) that require applicants to have certain creative abilities, physical and (or) psychological qualities, these higher educational institutions have the right to conduct additional entrance tests for creative and (or) professional directions, the results of which are taken into account along with the results of the unified state exam during the competition. The list of areas of training (specialties) for which, upon admission, additional tests of a creative and (or) professional orientation may be carried out, is approved in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

State higher educational institutions may be granted the right to conduct additional entrance examinations of a profile orientation upon admission for undergraduate and specialist training programs in other areas of training (specialties). The list of these higher educational institutions, upon admission to which additional entrance examinations of the profile orientation can be carried out, and areas of training (specialties) is formed on the basis of proposals from state higher educational institutions. The procedure, selection criteria and the list of the indicated higher educational institutions and areas of training (specialties) for which additional entrance examinations of a profile orientation can be conducted are approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The list of additional tests and the conditions for admission to state higher educational institutions, education in which is associated with entering the state service and the availability of citizens' access to information constituting a state secret, are established by the federal executive body, which is entrusted with the functions of the founder.

The list of additional entrance examinations and the rules for their conduct in state and municipal higher educational institutions are announced by such higher educational institutions no later than February 1 of the current year.

The rules for the admission of citizens to higher educational institutions, to the extent not regulated by this Federal Law, other federal laws, regulatory legal acts of authorized federal executive bodies, are determined by the founder and fixed in the charter of the higher educational institution.

A higher educational institution has the right to announce the admission of citizens only if it has a license.
