The article shows the problems of improving the quality of Russian education related to the understanding of the essence of competencies. In spite of the constant «updates» of the Federal State Educational Standards for Higher Education (FES of HE), there is no obvious qualitative change in the solution of this problem. And first of all, it refers to what is not clear: what and how students should be taught, although the standards define that students should have the necessary competencies to perform a professional activity. However, despite numerous discussions, a clear understanding of the scientific essence of the concept of «competence», as a rule, is not given anywhere. And this today, in our opinion, is the main problem and obstacle in the qualitative improvement of the educational process in domestic universities.

The University

This article discusses the trend of successful university activity as an integral unit of the educational system with its proper management. Successful activities of the university are realized in the formation and maintenance of the internal atmosphere of the university itself. A manifestation of such activity is the open character of university management (transparency in making important decisions, the elective nature of governing bodies and staff appointments), as well as the tendency to provide a centralized information environment for staff (creating an extensive internal electronic information network covering all structures). This activity is essential for maintaining the cohesion of labor collectives in higher education. Elements of competitive relations are among the university staff in the field of higher education. The purpose of competition is to attract quantitative and qualitative applicants, as well as gaining public recognition. Most teachers are proud of the prestige of the university.This article analyzes socially significant and personal values. The student’s personal and professional growth is a qualitative change in his position and role in society. The source of personal and professional development are the contradictions between the achieved level of student development and the requirements that the university community makes to him. Self-educational activity is the main condition necessary for the development of professional competence among students of engineering universities at the present stage. Given the variety of definitions of self-education, we can highlight some of its essential features, such as: an independent search for additional information, the acquisition of knowledge and on-going development. Further, the article expresses the opinion that self-education can exist only on the basis of deep perspective internal motives. Individual cases of searching for answers to questions of interest to a person under the influence of any motives cannot be considered self-education.In this paper, self-education is considered as purposeful, systematic, cognitive activity managed by students themselves, necessary for improving education.

The Government

InCanada, more perhaps than in any other country, the 1960's have seen such a quantitative change in higher education that it must be judged a qualitative change as well. A significant number of new universities, including my own York University, Toronto, have come into being, and most recently a system of community colleges has been created to cope with the large number of students who wish to proceed beyond high school but who are unable to obtain university places. In my province of Ontario the number of students attending university has doubled in the past four years. Five years from now it will have doubled again.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
