Supplementary Professional Education: A Strategy for Survival

In present-day conditions, the system of supplementary professional education becomes a powerful socio-economic tool.

How things stand with implementation of this strategy in Russia and how the system of supplementary professional education can be turned into a rapid response force, rather than a slow down force-all this was discussed at the round table «SPE: Growth Points in the Context of Continuing Education» organized by Accreditation in Education company with support from the Interfax News Agency.
