An Information Analytical System for Rating Regions According to Their Education Development Indicators: Methodology and Experimental Results, 2nd Part (Analytic)

Abstract

Trends and possibilities of interregional development of education: Case of pre-school education.
In 2004.2007, experts from the Institute of Knowledge, Statistics and Economics of HSE developed an information analytical system for rating the education development in the regions of Russia. The research was contracted for by the Russian Ministry of Science and Education and the State Committee on Education. However, it is clear that the rating is only one of many possible tools in comparing regions. Therefore, in 2008, the scope of the task was broadened: based on the previous research, the authors have started forming a system for the analysis of the development of education systems in the federal subjects of Russia. Some results of the analysis are presented in this article. Work in this direction is being continued. The current task is basically to develop a system for monitoring interregional differences in the education sphere, which would include a system for the retrieval, processing, storage, analysis, and representation of data on this topic.
