Moscow Technological Institute (Russia)

The Moscow Technological Institute was created on the initiative of the Government of the Russian Federation and the structural units of the UN, UNESCO and UNIDO in the field of modernization of the Russian education system. As a result, two interconnected projects appeared - “Distance Education in the New Information Environment” ( Descop ) and “World Technology University” (now NOU VO “Moscow Technological Institute”).

On October 2, 1997, the World Technological University received a certificate of legal registration. This date is considered the time of the founding of MIT.

In 1998, Professor Nikolai Malyshev, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, became President of the VTU.

On February 10, 1999, in Paris, the VTU and UNESCO signed a memorandum of cooperation, which identified the goals of the VTU and areas of cooperation. The main task of the university was to solve the problem of accessibility and continuity of education. The university developed training programs that built communication between the teacher and the student in a remote mode.

Over the next 10 years, copyright distance education courses were created.

In 2008, one of the key, at the moment, educational centers of the institute, Moscow Business School, was opened in the structure of VTU. Within the framework of the business school project, programs of business education ( MBA ), professional retraining, business seminars, courses and trainings were implemented.

In 2010, the World Technological Institute "VTU" was renamed into the NOU VPO "Moscow Technological Institute" VTU ".

In the summer of 2014, the Meeting of Founders decided to rename the NOU VPO MTI "VTU" into the NOU VO "Moscow Technological Institute."

In 2015, MIT acted as a partner in the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum , supporting the platforms “Youth Energy”, “Education as a Lifestyle” and “Falling Walls lab Krasnoyarsk”. ^[2]

In 2003, the first MIT branch was opened in Orenburg .

In 2011, MIT branches opened in Berlin ( Germany ) and Prague ( Czech Republic ).

In 2012 - a branch in Ho Chi Minh City ( Vietnam ).

In 2013, MIT received a license to conduct educational activities in the Russian Federation; in 2014, Rosobrnadzor issued a perpetual license. ^[3]

On July 8, 2014, MIT reissued the certificate of state accreditation of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science for a period up to 05/31/2019. Since May 12, 2016, the institute has been deprived by Rosobrnadzor of state accreditation for higher education programs in relation to certain levels of education. ^[4] In this regard, the institute’s management filed an application with the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the South-Western District of Moscow with a request to institute criminal proceedings against employees of Rosobrnadzor who conducted the audit. ^[5] .

At MIT, the Alantim robot, created by the institute together with the staff of the Shchusev Museum of Architecture, works as a research data collection officer. ^{[6] [7]}

Journalist Boris Sobolev in the program “ News of the Week ” ^[8] noted that the institute “has the main form of education - remotely , via Skype ”. He points out that the introductory examination sheets were “ just given to his house ”. A teacher of mathematics, a teacher of the highest category Natalya Dyakova, having studied the examination sheets, said: “ I see questions of the 5th grade, the 7th. This is not serious . ” In addition, Sobolev turned to other teachers who rated the exam questions as “ complete idiocy ”. He also noted that he conducted a journalistic experiment, asking teachers to fill out examination sheets so that every single answer turned out to be incorrect. After the check, MIT admissions officer Irina Gumen stated the following: “ Let's start with mathematics. I want to say that they got it. And in Russian. All perfectly! You scored . " In general, following the results of a journalistic investigation, Sobolev draws the following conclusion about the institute:

In MIT - 10 thousand students, annually bringing the university more than half a billion rubles. These are technologists of high-tech industries , the main power engineers of power plants, designers of future bridges and skyscrapers . They are issued state diplomas. sample, they are called "frames for Skolkovo ." The fact that these "shots" were trained for five years without getting up from the couch is not a word in their diplomas .

According to the results of performance monitoring for 2017, according to the Main Information and Computing Center of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the indicator “Educational activity” at the Moscow Technological Institute is 0 (zero). ^[9]
