The bill, giving a possibility of getting second higher education at artistic universities and institutes at the expense of the state, was being discussed in Russia in 2008. It hasnât been accepted though could help to solve a number of problems.
The current situation in the field of artistic education leads to reduction of professionalism of the prepared staff that, in turn, has a negative effect on the level of contemporary art in general.
Professions such as a writer, a scriptwriter or a director demand experience, formed views, a high level of intellectual development and stable psyche, and professions of a composer and a conductor â good musical preparation. So entrants to artistic universities often are people with higher education. Nowadays they demand significant investments except talent that sometimes becomes the only barrier to obtain a profession.
The possibility of getting free second higher education at artistic universities will not have an effect on their financing because the total quantity of budgetary vacancies will remain former. Because of the same reason such innovation will give universities an opportunity to select entrants more thoroughly that will improve the preparation level of leavers and, consequently, the quality of artworks they create.
In this way it seems to be sensible to make second higher education at artistic universities state-funded so that gifted people can study at them not encountering barriers like inability to pay for tuition.
