The role of agrarian education in sustainable development

of rural territories

The whole decades long the purposeful activities in development of agro-cultural regulation of agrarian market, detailed development of the agro-industrial complex were being planned and carried out on the state level in agrarian sector. In this time the industrial indices such as crop and milk yield, work productivity etc. were being estimated.

But a lot of efforts expended on this process, amount of subsidies and human hopes haven’t come true: we could get neither sustainable guaranties of our food safety, nor marked improvement of the demography situation in the rural area.

Unfortunately the situation established the wrong way when priority of the short-sided economical profit in agricultural production exceeded the permissible ecological standards and health of nation is threatened, migration rate of rural inhabitants to cities exceeded all reasonable limits and we watch peasantry is practically vanishing as a social section of the population.

The circumstances of essential aggravation of the situation as well in demography as in work spheres of the country-side require transferring the structure and the maintenance of the rural economics from the existing trade and territorial (one) to the new social competent essence of its development. It is necessary to provide the progressive transition from the monofunctual model of the rural economics to the polyfunctual and diversity one. First of all it is supposed to make up the highest possible collection of varies rural economical forms and kinds of activities satisfying needs of rural inhabitants in the different spheres and occupations.

Secondly the realizing of importance of really complex development of the country-side and the whole agricultural economics requires making up the new sight to the problem of the development of the modern agrarian education. The profile resource center of the agro-industrial education has been consolidating common efforts of the regional educational system and carrying them out for five years .Activity experience of this center under conditions of continuous cooperation with every subject of rural relations and achieved results permit to express our attitude to the heart of the problem.

The main factor in the problem of the complex stable development of the rural area is supposed to require determination of the key problems in the development of the concrete rural territories and in this background working out required social and economic, legal and administrative measures for each territory .Only coordinated realization of given measures would permit to bring the village to the qualitatively new level of development, providing complex balanced solution of economic, social and ecological problems preserving natural resources ,historic and cultural potential of the country-side. From our point of view for active and effective participating of the agro-educational system in general progress it requires consistent solution of the following priority problems:

- to form territorial resource development centers of the agrarian education as powerful multilevel versatile educational establishments of the given profile in the territory;

- to make up an integrated cooperation system of educational agrarian oriented establishments that permits to take into account natural-climatic, social-economical and demography features of the development of the concrete rural territories;

- to form the management mechanism for development of the integrated educational establishments of the region by means of establishing of the coordinating councils of the stable village development ,administrating problems of the complex development of the rural area from a position : «What personnel? Where and how to train?»;

- stable renewal of the complex resource providing of the integrated educational establishments by carrying out influence ahead all its components aimed to provide there accordance to the modern demands on the market of the educational services and on the market of the agrarian labor;

-carrying out a social responsible orientation of the village school-leavers to the professional work in the village, the orientation connected with the deviation from the traditional concept «professional oriented activity of the professional educational establishments», being a synonym of the term «agitation»;

-providing constantly working monitoring of the agrarian territories demand for workers and specialists taking in account the quality of the training as well in the whole region as in a separate territory;

-to improve the process of raising the level of pedagogues professional skills in the system of the professional agrarian education in a short time (as far as possible without a separating with their own professional activity) that provides mobility of working out and inculcation of the new educational models etc.

We believe that not only the degree of accordance of renewed agrarian educational system to the ideology of the complex stable development of the country-side will depend from successful solution of the given top-priority tasks but the perspective of the system itself initiating necessary positive changes of the given process.
