Influence of the managerial model of university management on institutionalization of additional education

Introduction. The main idea of this article is to substantiate the relationship between the managerial policy of university management and the processes of institutionalization of additional education. The relevance of the posed problem consists in the high degree of significance of additional education in modern society. Additional education fulfills two basic functions: retraining and professional development. Violations in the work of these functions will lead to the fact that education will cease to respond flexibly to the needs of society to teach new professions and adapt to new professional demands. The aim of the article: to identify the mechanisms of institutionalization of additional education under the influence of the managerialist model of higher school management. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the managerial approach, through which the problems of the development of additional education as a component of higher education institution are investigated. The empirical base of the study was formed on the basis of five in-depth interviews with the heads of additional professional education (APE) programs, as well as the analysis of documents regulating the use of managerialist management tools. Results and discussion. Additional education is currently considered by university management as a tool for providing financial resources, which corresponds to the rules accepted within the managerialist ideology. We consider this state of affairs unacceptable. Additional education has other tasks. It should be an educational tool for quick response to the emerging demands of society for retraining and advanced training. In order for it to cope with this function, it should have a single central management center, a special regulatory framework should be formed for it, it should be a separate entity in the market of educational services. The current status of additional education is an appendage to the existing system of higher education. In this situation, it will suffer further degradation and loss of socially useful functions. The only way out is the institutionalization of additional education outside the organizational structures of higher education.
