Increase of general educational services market efficiency

Russia's fast entry into the world community, accordingly, entry of domestic educational system into the international educational space promotes the increase of general educational services offered to the public. At the present stage of post-industrial development the society sets new tasks in perfection of the content and forms of general educational process. In our opinion, the main task of modern educational process is optimisation of interaction of labour market and educational sphere. We note the advantages of market methods of functioning of the sphere of general educational services before as compared with administrative-planned methods. First, in the market each manufacturer of services has equal chances with all other manufacturers on their realisation. Secondly, each consumer of services receives possibilities of acquisition of services necessary for him/her equal with other consumers. Thirdly, only in the market by means of commodity-money and market relations, socially required expenses are defined for manufacture and realisation of services. Fourthly, market allows revealing real and constantly changing requirements of the society, and it focuses manufacturers of services on satisfaction of the demand. Fifthly, market is the most democratic economic form of getting feedback from the consumer to the manufacturer of services. Russian market of general educational services functions by its laws at present; it is obvious that nobody either supervises or manages it. There is no specialised system of rendering general educational services with necessary elements of financial-credit support and insurance of transactions. Lack of precise structuring of the market by forms of organisation of manufacturers of services, led to absence of valid information on market capacity to consume these services in Russia and its regions. In modern conditions when national economy has followed the way of market reforms, scientific and technical activity seems not to be prepared for the new conditions. As before, the results of scientific and technical activity do not always become an innovative product with high degree of readiness for manufacture and effective realisation, because innovative projects are complicated and expensive; make no real profit at introduction; do not consider the system approach when worked out; have no integrated criteria which could estimate their efficiency. Thus, the offered introduction of branch information-consulting service will allow uniting efforts of developers of innovative projects, investors, manufacturers of general educational services and their consumers.
