As it became known yesterday, the mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin dismissed the former head of the Department of education and science Isaac Kalina. The successor of this radical reformer Metropolitan school became the Deputy Kalina Alexander Hammers. Sam Kalina, who has worked for the capital’s education Minister for a whole decade goes “another job” and, according to some, will become adviser to the mayor of the capital.

the Basics of a career 70-year-old Viburnum in the field of education were laid in the Orenburg region, where after school he graduated from the pedagogical Institute in the specialty “Mathematics”. For 20 years he went from teacher of rural school up to the nomenclature of the post of chief of the main Department of education of administration of the Orenburg region. And in the early 2000s, finally moved to Moscow, received the post of Deputy Director of publishing house “Prosveschenie”.

Since 2004 obrazovanets Kalina goes to the Federal level, first as the Director of the Department of state policy in education Ministry of education and science of the times of Andrei Fursenko, and then as Deputy Minister.

In November 2010 and becomes the Minister of education, however, the Moscow level. And for nearly 10 years of his reign — and he reigned, according to city educationists, truly an iron fist — he has changed much in the capital’s secondary education system.

most Often, the name Viburnum is associated with a large-scale merger of the schools of the city in huge educational institutions called “educational companies”. In the end of this activity, the number of urban secondary schools decreased significantly, and the number of students in each of the remaining as many times increased. And it caused ambiguous reaction in the society.

Some experts still assess the outcome of this process as the leveling of the individual members of thousands of children’s groups and the mechanical connection of the unconnected. For example, combining within a single school teenagers with deviant behavior, the usual guys, and “nerds” from some supermathematical special school that did not bring happiness nor one nor the other nor the third. However, the other part emphasizes the positive consequences of the merger, primarily resulting from the pupils the possibility of choosing any specialization, within the framework of their school. And as a consequence — raising the General level of mass secondary education.

about the merger of schools in Moscow were massive protests, and petitions to the city authorities with the requirement to send Kalina resigned. But there have been recent results of an international study of quality of training of students PISA, for which Moscow, speaking in the test of functional literacy of students separately from Russia, far ahead of�� parameters as our country as a whole, and the vast majority of other countries of the world.

Where you will turn the wheel of education in the capital replacement Viburnum Hammers, hard to say. Being in the position of Deputy Director of the Department occupied by them for about three years, the Hammers sought to escape the shadow of his boss. Yes, and he was engaged in until recently, issues like the development of state-public management in education or increasing the level of financial literacy. Yet one thing is clear: a 50-year-old Hammers to a certain extent — “Varyag” in education.

a civil Engineer by first higher education, he added his technical knowledge qualifications of a specialist financial market in broker, dealer activities and trust management, then a Manager in education and contract purchasing system. Prior to joining the Department, he led an investment company working in the fields of construction, food industry and publishing. So the path that led Molotkova on higher education office of the city government, closer to that followed by don Kalina, a former Minister of higher education and science Mikhail Kotyukov, the way of a Manager and financier.
