Needs of regions for obtaining higher education in field of culture and art

Regional factor essentially influences the effectiveness of decisions regarding the development of educational facilities and the distribution of educational services for getting the higher education. The large dimension of this system and full autonomy of fields of knowledge makes worthwhile the macroeconomic planning on basis of economic-mathematic modeling of distribution of educational services by different fields of knowledge.

For statement and implementation of model of planning the educational services distribution on example of higher educational institutions of culture field, represented by such institutions as theaters, philharmonic, television and radio organizations, film demonstrators, publishers, museums, libraries, clubs, circuses, parks of culture and recreation, aesthetic schools – total number in 2014 amounted to 35,619 units [4, p.452], it is necessary the information of tree levels: educational facilities for training specialists; needs for educational services (higher education); specific investments in permanent assets of domestic-social area and in permanent assets of higher educational institutions.

Higher educational institutions with bachelor and master training in field of culture and arts are subject to state customer – Ministry of Culture of Ukraine [1];

Educational facilities are concentrated in six regions, which have to meet the needs of higher education in all 27 regions of Ukraine [2]. In this connection it is necessary to prepare the information about needs of specified six regions and the total needs of other regions (21 regions).

By the need for obtaining higher education it is meant not the number of people with secondary education who wish to become specialists in the field of culture and art, but that part of them, which have sufficient level of preparation for entrance exams and training in higher educational institutions of this type. The necessity of modeling the needs is related to the lack of statistical information by regions.

From the 11 universities of the state customer Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, which provide higher education in culture and art field, the calculations of needs in this field by regions held without KNUCA, because of a large number of specialists of this university does not belong to the fields of knowledge "culture" and "art" .

The calculation of needs in obtaining the higher education in field of culture and art is based on the number of persons in general education institution and adjustments of needs taking into account the propensity of youth in regions to concerned field.

For modeling the needs the assumptions are taken:

- the number of applicants, which determines the need for obtaining higher education, is defined as the part of number of pupils of general educational institutions;

- these parts for studied regions are taken equal;

- determination of the part of applicants is based on present statistics (for last periods);

- approved licensed number of admission of students actually reflects educational facilities of the higher educational institutions.

To determine the need it is used the information about the number of pupils in general educational institutions (GEI) by regions (2013/14 educational year) and the proportion of persons of the total number of pupils in GEI who choose to obtain a higher education in fields of culture and art as well as the total number of students admission to higher educational institutions of III - IV accreditation levels including the KNUCA.

Notation of amounts used in the task:

r – index of the region; r =  – elements of set of regions, higher educational institutions of which are providing services in the field of culture and arts; r =   – elements of the set of regions, where people have a need for higher education in the field of culture and art; r = 7 – union of other regions, i.e. these are remaining regions of Ukraine from 27 that are not included in the set r = ;

 - number of pupils enrolled in general education institutions (GEI) of r region, thousand;

 - total number of students of GEI of Ukraine, thousand;
,, - number of students admitted in Ukraine, in HEI KNUCA, adjusted number of students admitted in Ukraine;

 - part of pupils who chose to receive higher education in the field of culture;

Also, necessary information:

admitted students in Ukraine in 2013/14 e.y. – 348 thousands of persons/year [3, p. 418], including KNUCA – 5.2 thousands of persons/year[1];

admitted students to higher educational institutions of culture and art field in 2013/14 e.y. – 6438 thousands of persons/year [1].

In addition to the indexes of number of pupils and students the table brings the evaluation of GEI pupils propensity to getting higher education in the fields of knowledge "culture" and "art" by regions. Evaluation conducted by expert assessments in 100 - point scale, 0 ≤  ≤ 100, with higher points corresponding to greater propensity to the modeled field.

As proved above, the modeling of needs of applicants in getting the higher education in field of culture and art made without HEI KNUCA.

Present the main dependences, on which the implementation of proposed methodical approach bases.

Adjusted number of students annual admitted to universities of III - IV accreditation levels without HEI KNUCA.

                                         (1)

that is  = 348 thousand – 5.2 thousand = 342,8 thousand persons per year.

Consider the coefficient of reduction of admission to the university without HEI KNUCA:

                                                      ,                                                  (1)

that is equal to k = 0,985 ().

Adjust the total number of pupils under this coefficient:

                               ,                                                              (3)

that is  = 4141 thousands of persons ().

Calculate the part of pupils who choose the field of culture for getting the higher education:

                               ,                                                                    (4)

 

that is equal to  = 0,00155 ().

Calculate the needs of youth in acquiring HE in field of culture and art by regions assuming that the coefficient  remains constant for all regions,  = const, r, .

With this assumption, the need  of the region r, .

                      (block 6)                                                         (5)

The results of calculations by region and Ukraine are given in Table 2.

These data presents input information about needs for solving optimization problem of distribution of educational services by regions on the criterion of minimizing the investment in system of higher education in the field of culture and art.

In forming of plans was not accounted the factor of support of the social infrastructure in connection with increase of population amount in regions that takes place with applicants. Support of specified level requires additional investments in domestic-social field.
