Development institutions of as a tool for increasing the resistance of the education sector
Abstract. The article explores theoretical and methodological approaches to the category of "development institutions". It is indicated that in the context of the increasing influence of various exogenous and endogenous shocks, the limited amount of available funds necessitates the priority distribution of funds by development institutions to socially significant projects aimed at increasing the resilience of the social sphere, in particular education, healthcare, etc. An analysis of the data characterizing the state of the education sector in the Volga Federal District was carried out. It has been established that against the background of growth in the regional budgets of health care costs, there is a corresponding reduction in education costs. Thus, compared to previous years, the decrease was 1-4%, including in the Volga Federal District - 3,7%. An analysis of the structure of the labor market in the Volga Federal District showed that the share of the unemployed with a higher education (HE) is twice, and in some regions even three times less than the share of the unemployed with a secondary vocational education (SVE). Since 2017, there has been a decrease in the number of teachers, masters of industrial training, teaching staff who train specialists in SVE and HE by 1,06, 1,21 and 1,68 times. The number of students enrolled in these programs in the Volga Federal District has decreased since 2017 - by 1,004 and 1,79 times, graduation - by 1,49 and 1,4 times, respectively. Income of educational organizations of SVE and HE varies between 92% and 75%, with a corresponding increase in the share of machines and equipment older than 5 years. The factors influencing the resilience have been established, the targeted support of which will ensure an increase in the resistance of the education sector to negative manifestations of the environment by development institutions. On the example of these regions of the Volga Federal District, an assessment of the resilience of SVE and HE was carried out taking into account the educational, personnel, logistical and financial support of the analyzed system. Measures have been formed, the implementation of which by development institutions will ensure an increase in the resilience of the education sector.
