On April 24, a joint meeting of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the All-Russian Trade Union of Education was held at the State University of Management with the participation of rectors of higher education institutions and members of the coordinating council of chairmen of primary trade union organizations of employees of higher education institutions.

In his speech, Konstantin Mogilevsky noted the importance of building systematic work with participants and veterans of the special military operation, as well as members of their families who are employees of universities subordinate to the Ministry. The Deputy Head of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia emphasized that veterans arriving from the SVO zone should receive all the necessary support from their employers for a speedy return to civilian life.

“I would like to emphasize that it is important for rectors to know such employees by name. I know that the universities of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions have already set up the corresponding records. If this work has not yet been done, I ask you to set the corresponding task to the heads of your personnel departments,” Konstantin Mogilevsky addressed the participants of the meeting.

Rector of GUU Vladimir Stroev spoke about why the meeting is taking place at our university.

“At one of the previous congresses, we agreed that such meetings should take place not only at external venues, but also in the educational institutions themselves, where our main activities take place. Today, many heads of educational organizations, trade unions, and ministry departments have gathered at the State University of Management, which provides an excellent opportunity to discuss problems, listen to criticism, and agree on many issues. I am confident that this work will not be in vain; many useful decisions will be made,” concluded Vladimir Stroyev.

The Chairperson of the Trade Union of Public Education and Science Workers of the Russian Federation Larisa Solodilova emphasized the role of higher education in shaping the future of the country.

“Our organization maintains a constant dialogue with ministries and the rector’s corps. And the experience of meetings with trade union members, where they discuss socio-economic issues, the legal framework, etc., is especially valuable. Our main resource is specialists, professionals, the most proactive of whom are often elected as chairmen of the trade unions of their institutions. In addition to their main educational, scientific, and upbringing work, they also manage to engage in this side of the activity. We must understand that the realization of youth is impossible without higher education. Together we are preparing a new generation of professionals for the future,” noted Larisa Solodilova.

Larisa Aleksandrovna also announced the awarding of the Badge of Honor “For Social Partnership” to Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Andrey Omelchuk, Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Alexey Svistunov and Director of the Department of Economic Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Aslan Kanukoev. Honorary certificates were awarded to Director of the Department for Coordination of Activities of Educational Organizations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Vitaly Grishkin, Deputy Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Nikolay Tsumerov and Head of the Department of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Tatyana Gazizova.

Director of the Department of Economic Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Aslan Kanukoev, who received an MPA degree from the State University of Management, gave a report and noted the well-coordinated joint work with representatives of trade unions.

“First of all, I would like to thank the management of the State University of Management for organizing the meeting. We have good constructive relations with the trade unions: we meet regularly and sum up the results of the year and discuss plans for the next one. And such a joint event is very important and useful, since here you can raise and resolve issues of interest directly,” noted Aslan Kanukoev.

Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, graduate of the State University of Management Alexey Svistunov emphasized the uniqueness of the meeting.

“The Ministry and the All-Russian Trade Union conceived of the joint event as a discussion platform for pressing issues, and I am sincerely glad that we have managed to do it on an even larger scale than planned. Today we will outline the main areas of interaction, and these are not only issues of labor relations, labor protection and teachers’ salaries, but also the importance of increasing the prestige of work in educational organizations, attracting young specialists. I hope that this format of communication will be useful and in demand,” said Alexey Svistunov.

In total, about 200 people took part in the meeting.

Representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, heads of educational and trade union organizations from different parts of the country presented reports and discussed issues of fair labor relations, increasing the prestige of the profession in the field of higher education and directions for further joint work.
