Employment of graduates in relationship with budget costs on education

The article examines the issue of the discrepancy between the structure of graduates of higher and secondary specialized educational organizations in relation to industry employment, which in itself is not a criterion for the inefficiency of budget expenditures, but opens up an equally significant problem - the structural discrepancy between graduates and the labor market. The author notes that the Russian education financing system is unique, since it is financed from the budget directly and through the National Project “Education” in a targeted manner with a focus on achieving specific results within the framework of federal projects. The relevance of the topic under study is determined by the high social significance of the educational sphere for the state and society.
