Presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich proposes to cancel scholarships to students
Submitted by Редакция on 23 January, 2011 - 01:34It seems the authorities in Russia have lost orientation in space. Not feeling virtually no resistance from the community for their anti-social reform, they are open "discussion" over who in any normal country would be deprived of his position. So recently, the presidential aide Alexander Dvorkovich said in an online interview to "Gazeta.ru," the need to cancel scholarships to students in Russia. According to this official, students should begin work at the institute from the very first year, first taking up low-paid positions, up to the janitors, and then gradually move to a profession relevant chosen specialty.
Thus, Dvorkovich was another representative of the Russian elite, articulated clearly stupid and unpopular decisions aimed at only the interests of big business.
Active discussions indicated Dvorkovich action started on his page on Twitter, where the officer had time to write more than 200 messages. Cancel scholarship is obviously motivated by the neo-liberal idea of a permanent tax cuts for big business.This measure would save the budget about 70 billion rubles, respectively, so as to reduce the tax burden. In this case, at this time, the average stipend is only about $ 1000.
"I will say the unpopular thing, but I think it's right: if we all believe that just needed to pursue their work, that work should be fashionable, you need to cancel standard scholarships for students, because it's the wrong signal that you have for the mere fact of their studies receive compensation "- said Dvorkovich.
Chairman of the Russian Student Union Artem Khromov told Interfax that he considered the abolition of scholarships invalid."That the state should provide opportunities for students to get an education, because the Constitution clearly stipulates that education should be publicly available. But you can not get anywhere except in educational institutions, and work distracts from the educational process, "- said Khromov Wednesday. He stressed that the proposal to abolish the scholarships "fundamentally at odds with social policy, which declares the state, and completely refutes the international practice that has evolved."
It is worth noting that in all developed countries grant is not perceived as a form of paternalistic government support, and perceived as "predzarplata.Just as the pension is a kind of "postzarplatoy. Therefore, in the same Europe, the student can easily survive on their scholarship, without detracting from the educational process. In consequence of the society gets the most benefits from the work of well-educated professionals, compared with people who have learned something like, thinking about how to make a living.
Our comment: Russian authorities chustvuya total disorganization of the social forces that can take any absurd neo-liberal solutions against the welfare of millions of citizens.In order to break this disastrous situation to a mass libertarnoorientirovannoe movement of workers, students and pupils of the country.Only in this way can we protect our rights and uphold the right to a future in this country!
