What is OXO

OKSO is the abbreviation for the All-Russian Classifier of Specialties. The classifier was created in order to ensure the exchange of data between government departments in the field of education. OKSO is designed to solve problems in the field of training the necessary specialists in an industrial or other field. In other words, the All-Russian classifier of specialties takes into account the needs of the market in various fields of activity, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the unemployment rate.

Among the other tasks of OKSO, such as the regulation of licensing in the educational field, statistical analysis, accounting and processing of information, regulation of the ratio of the level of training of Russian specialists in accordance with international standards are distinguished.

OKSO includes both higher and secondary vocational education. The classifier is based on the law "On Education", as well as on the lists of directions in personnel training, compiled in accordance with this law. The maintenance of the classifier is regulated by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and VNIIKI Gosstandart.

What objects are classified in OKSO

The objects of the All-Russian classifier of specialties are specialties of higher and secondary vocational education. In this case, the specialty refers to the skills, knowledge, and abilities that were obtained in the process of studying at an educational institution, when trained specialists become able to solve the set professional tasks.

What is the structure and codes in OKSO

OKSO as a whole represents a set of code designations for objects for classification, names of these objects and additional classification features.

Includes a structural description of the object:

• Name block
• Identification block
• Block of additional classification features

In OKSO, the identification block is built using a hierarchical classification method, as well as using a sequential coding method. There are three levels of hierarchical classification:

• Specialty
• Areas of training
• Enlarged groups of areas and specialties

Six decimal digits are included in the code designation structure. It has the following form: XXXXXXX, where:

• The first and second signs correspond to the enlarged groups of areas and specialties of training
• The third and fourth signs are the directions of preparation
• The fifth and sixth characters are specialties

In OKSO, the naming block includes the names of specialties, areas of training, the names of enlarged groups of areas and specialties. For ease of use of the classifier, the names of directions are highlighted in bold, specialties - in italics. The block of additional classification features contains information about the qualification, which is assigned in the specialty and field of study. In the 1st column of the block of qualification additional features, the code is indicated, in the 2nd column of the block - the name of the qualification. The name of the qualification is determined by the lists of areas and specialties of secondary vocational and higher education approved by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

The abbreviation OKSO stands for the all-Russian classifier of specialties in the field of education.

OKSO is a set of codes, names of objects and a description of their auxiliary features, indicated in a single table.

The classifier of specialties is necessary for the exchange of information between state bodies responsible for the training of specialized personnel in all areas of labor activity (production, economics, medicine, and others).

In other words, the labor market is monitored, which results in a decrease in the unemployment rate in the country.

Objects of OKSO classification

The objects of OKSO include professions of higher and secondary special education.

The profession in this case denotes the skills, abilities, knowledge gained while studying at colleges, institutes and other educational institutions, at the moment when trained personnel become capable of independently resolving possible problems and solving problems.

Structure and codes in OKSO

OKSO is a collection of code designations for objects of classification, their designations and auxiliary properties.
There are 3 blocks of the structural image of the subject:

• title;
• authentication;
• auxiliary classification properties.

In turn, the authentication block is based on a hierarchical classification method and a gradation encoding method.

The hierarchical classification is three-level:

• profession;
• professional orientation;
• enlarged orientation classes and professions.

The code definition consists of 6 digits:

• first 2 digits are enlarged classes;
• third and fourth– professional orientation;
• fifth and sixth digits designate a profession.

Secondary vocational education

Secondary vocational education is usually called the level of knowledge gained in the process of studying in colleges, technical schools or on the basis of some universities. This type of training is aimed at obtaining practical skills in working specialties.

For a number of professions, secondary vocational education is the highest level of education. These specialties include - circus and ballet dancers, some other professions of an artistic profile.

Training is conducted on the basis of grades 9 and 11, the duration depends on the chosen specialty and the number of completed classes.

In some cases, this type of education is preferable:

• the requirements for applicants are less than when entering higher educational institutions;
• sufficient budget places are provided lot;
• secondary education is primarily aimed at obtaining practical skills, as a result, employers give preference to specialists of this level;
• another advantage is the receipt of several adjacent specialties.

Examples of open source software according to the all-Russian classifier:

• Drilling of oil and gas wells - 130504- the qualification of a technician-technologist, in-depth training for this course is possible, in this case the specialty will be a senior technician-technologist. Education takes place on the basis of 9 (secondary general education) and 11 classes (secondary complete general education).
• Nursing (060109)- after receiving education, the graduate is awarded the qualification of a nurse / nurse. Applicants who have completed 9th and 11th grades are accepted. The term of study is 46 calendar months and 34 months.
• Management (by industry) - 080501- manager. A specialist in this industry must solve personnel and organizational issues, to management activities.
• Organization of service in public catering (100106)- Qualification manager. The term of study is 2 years and 10 months. The specialist is engaged in the organization of services in catering establishments at various levels.

From the above examples, we can conclude that there is a wide variety of working professions that can be obtained within a fairly short time in colleges and technical schools.

Higher professional education

Higher professional education (HPE) is the highest educational level aimed at training executives in any field of activity. Training is carried out on the basis of completed 11 classes or after receiving a diploma of secondary vocational education. In the process of learning, students receive more theoretical knowledge.

The modern education system involves the assignment of academic degrees to graduates - a bachelor's degree (4 years of study) and a master's degree (after receiving a "bachelor" 2 years).

The training of some professionals is still at the level of "specialist". These include doctors and pharmacists, as well as customs. The term of training of specialists is on average five years.

The process of obtaining VPO takes several forms:

• full-time education is a classic method of gaining knowledge. With this form, there is direct contact between the professorial staff and students, which leads to a deeper understanding of the chosen profession and the development of the skills necessary for it. This type of learning involves taking a break from work;
• distance learning. This form perfectly combines the positive aspects of full-time education and self-study. First of all, distance learning is suitable for working people who need advanced training, since it does not provide for separation from production activities. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the need to assimilate a large amount of new material in a short period of time, in addition, the period of study compared to full-time education increases by an average of a year;
• Remote education(free form of obtaining knowledge) involves learning with the help of a computer. Like any other type of learning, distance learning has both pros and cons. The positive aspects can be considered the low cost of training, the ability to study at any convenient time and in a comfortable environment, without interrupting work. The disadvantages include the lack of practical skills, insufficient development of communication skills, and besides, you need to have a strong motivation to master a large amount of information on your own and without third-party control.

Examples of VPO on OKSO

• Microelectronics and semiconductor devices - 010803- the level of training of a specialist, the term of study years. Received qualification - physicist-microelectronic engineer.
• Oriental studies, African studies - 030800- Bachelor's degree, Master's degree. Qualification of graduates - Bachelor of Oriental Studies, Master of Oriental Studies. Possibility of further postgraduate study. After completing the course of study, graduates are ready for research and teaching activities.
• Medical cybernetics - 060114- for higher medical institutions, only specialty is characteristic. Qualification - doctor-cybernetician. The activity of the specialist is to develop and implement automated technical control systems to improve the quality of medical care for the population. The duration of study is 6 years.

Admission to higher educational institutions of the country assumes that applicants have a certificate of completion of 11 classes.

The OKSO system is extremely necessary in modern economic relations. With its help, future students can understand what specialties they need to choose in order to be competitive in the labor market.

The all-Russian classifier of specialties for education OKSO RF in 2019 is regulated by Russian law. It is to him that you need to refer during the study of OKSO.

The General Russian Classification System of Specialties in Education (OKSO) is an integral part of the Unified Classification and Coding of the Russian Federation.

It was developed on the basis of Decree of the Government of Russia No. 121 “On measures to implement the State Transition Program of Russia to the adopted accounting and strategic system at the request of the establishment of economic management in the market in the practical activities of other peoples” with the changes that have occurred in higher and secondary education systems.

OKSO is based on the Federal Law “On Educational Activities” and other legal documents of the State Committee of Russia.

General aspects

The issue under consideration is very complex, which is why it is initially recommended to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts and Russian legislation.

Thanks to this, it is possible to exclude the possibility of making various kinds of inaccuracies.

What it is

OKSO is the abbreviated name of the General Classification System of Education in Russia.

It was developed to provide guarantees for the exchange of information between municipal authorities in the field of education.

OKSO is primarily intended to regulate key issues in the field of training professionals in various fields of activity.

In other words, OKSO provides for the needs of the market in various fields of activity, which may ultimately lead to a decrease in indicators.

Among other issues of OKSO, there are such as:

• regulation in the educational sphere;
• overview of static information;
• counting and processing of materials;
• adjustment of indicators of the balance of the level of professional training of specialists, according to accepted international standards.

OXO includes:

• higher;
• secondary vocational education.

The classification system itself is based on the Decree “On Education” and other legal acts.

What is its purpose

OKSO was formed with the aim of regulating the specialties in the field of education performed in Russia and is used during activities and the exchange of information in all management systems of the Russian Federation without exception, and covering:

• national system;
• not the national education system.

In particular, it is used to solve such important issues as:

• regulation of admission and release of qualified specialists;
• static accounting on the issue of admission, graduation and further specialists;
• comparability of statistics in the field of education in Russia and in other countries.

The objects of the considered classification are considered to be:

• the structure of professions;
• the scope of scientific work is science;
• specialization.

A group of professional activities is considered a set of specialties that are directly related to some area displayed in the name of group 0 according to Rosstandart.

Normative base

The main legal documents are:

1. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation "On education".

The specified regulatory documents display all the key information on the issue of OKSO. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with them to minimize the risks of various misunderstandings.

What is called the all-Russian classifier of specialties for the education of OKSO

According to Russian legislation, the objects of OKSO are considered to be professions of higher and secondary education.

At the same time, a profession means:

• ability;
• knowledge level;
• skills.

Similar skills and abilities are acquired in educational institutions.

Code structure

OKSO means a collection of code mappings and is designed to systematize.

It contains a structural description of the subject, in particular:

• name block;
• identification channels;
• channels of classification features.

It should be noted that in OKSO the identification channel is based using a hierarchical systematization option, moreover, with support for an alternate encoding method.

There are several levels of hierarchical systematization:

• speciality;
• scope of training;
• advanced categories of directions.

The structure of code mappings includes 6 digits. They have a sequence in the form xxxxx, in which:

In the developed OKSO, the naming channel includes:

• the name of the acquired profession;
• direction of the field of training;
• the name of the organization and the specialty itself.

A code display in the form 0101 00 1 displays:

An example of coding objects of systematization:

1. Specialties from the category of higher education.
2. Higher education.

Code value 0217 01 3 displays:

Let's consider an example of systematization with the purpose of a subsection:

1. The trend of training in a higher educational institution.
2. Higher education.

Code value 5101 00 2 displays:

As you can see, each code carries different information.

Secondary vocational education

• colleges;
• technical schools.

This kind of educational process is aimed at obtaining practical skills of labor specialties.

For some professions, secondary education is considered the highest level of education.

They are commonly referred to as:

• circus artists;
• ballet dancers;
• other artistic professions;
• work in the field of mechanical engineering.

Training is carried out on the basis of grades 9 and 11, and the duration directly depends on the specialty itself.

In some situations, this type of education is considered preferable:

• requirements for potential students are more loyal than in universities;
• a large number of budget places;
• secondary education includes a huge amount of practice.

Additional features include the ability to simultaneously receive several specialties.

Higher professional education

VPO (higher professional education) is the highest educational level, which is aimed at training executives in any field of activity.

Education is carried out on the basis of a completed 11th grade or after receiving a diploma of secondary education.

During the educational process, students receive all the necessary theoretical knowledge.

The modern educational system implies the assignment of academic degrees to graduates:

• bachelor;
• or master.

The level of training of qualified specialists remained at the level of a specialist. In most cases, these include:

• doctors and pharmacists, including employees of the chemical industry;
• customs officers;
• instrumentation specialists;
• specialists of modern computer technology (management of automated machines, programming, and so on).

The period of the educational process is 5 years.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the educational program in higher educational institutions is carried out in several variations, namely:

Daytime education	Classic education. With this option of learning between teachers and students, knowledge is obtained through direct contact, which automatically entails an in-depth study of all the developed material. This type of training does not imply the possibility of simultaneously conducting official employment.
Extramural studies	This option perfectly contains the positive aspects of daytime education and independent work in this direction. In most cases, this form is preferred by employed citizens who are interested in improving their existing qualifications, since training does not entail the need to leave work. Among the shortcomings of the correspondence form, it is customary to single out the need for independent study and development of a huge amount of material in a short time. In addition, do not forget about the duration of training, which, in comparison with the full-time form, increases by an average of 1 year.
Distance learning	(self-acquisition of all necessary skills and knowledge). It implies the educational process with the help of a personal computer. Like any other type of training, this one also has its advantages and disadvantages.

Among the main advantages of distance education are considered to be:

• affordable cost of education;
• the possibility of obtaining the necessary skills and abilities at any time convenient for the student, and without interrupting their activities.

Among the shortcomings, it is customary to single out:

• lack of practical skills;
• low level of development of communication skills;
• the need for a high level of motivation for independent development of educational material.
