New Approaches to Internal Educational Migration

Abstract

The article analyzes domestic internal educational migration. Different views of scientists who have made a significant contribution to the development of the theory of migration are considered. Migration was assessed in terms of depopulation, when the death rate in recent years has been exceeding the birth rate in Russia. The author has substantiated correlation between economic laws, economic interests, incentives and migration. Educational migration has been divided into external and internal migration. The place, role and influence of internal educational migration on reproduction processes in Russia are shown. It is emphasized that in certain cases, internal educational migration should be considered as a specific form of local "brain drain", which manifests itself in a large number of young people in Siberia and the Far East wishing to continue their education in the central universities of the country. It is noted that after graduating from the capital's universities, most of them do not return to their home areas, which negatively affects the entire national reproduction process. The Western competence-based approach, which is the basis of domestic educational standards, is analyzed, its shortcomings are indicated. Proposals are made to improve the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education.
