Today we will talk about a famous person in Russia - Vladimir Mikhailovich Filippov. This person holds an important public post and at the same time runs the university. What is his life, principles, family? How did a man achieve such success and that he passed on his career path? Read about all this in the article below.
Childhood and youth
Vladimir Filippov was born in 1951, on April 15. A boy was born in a modest family in Uryupinsk (Volgograd region). He studied well at school, received a silver medal after graduation. In 1968, a young man enters the Peoples' Friendship University named after Patrice Lumumba. In 1973, the guy graduated from the Faculty of Natural and Physics and Mathematics with a degree in Mathematics. However, this does not end university life, as Vladimir continues to study in graduate school. In 1975 he entered the service in the Armed Forces of the USSR. After her, the guy returns to UDN.
After service
By this time he was no longer a simple assistant. Even before serving in the army, Vladimir Filippov held various positions - from assistant to head of the department of mathematical analysis. The man decided to completely connect his life with his native university, to which he was accustomed for so many years. Teachers of the department and those who knew the guy personally were glad that their team will be replenished with a young and talented person who lives his profession. Interestingly, the man never jumped over his head and did not want to get what he does not deserve. A little tautology, but V. Filippov always got what he sought exclusively on his own. He did not hesitate to work as an assistant, because he understood that this was a necessary link in the chain that would bear fruit.
Career growth did not end at the level of department head. Within a few years, the man became the head of the scientific department, and part-time - the dean of the faculty of natural and physical and mathematical sciences. At the same time, Vladimir Filippov worked as a secretary in a party organization.
Up the career ladder
In 1980, Filippov Vladimir Mikhailovich successfully defended his thesis. After 3 years, he goes to Belgium, where he spends a year on obtaining a scientific qualification. As a result, in 1984 V. Filippov received it at the Free University of Brussels. After 2 years, the man defends his doctoral dissertation in the specialty "Mathematical Analysis" at the Mathematical Institute. V.A. Steklova. Such a quick climb up the career ladder could not leave anyone indifferent. During this period, the man made loyal friends and acquired envious enemies. A year after defending his dissertation, Vladimir received the title of professor.
New career round
In 1993, one of the most significant events in the life of Vladimir. He becomes the rector of PFUR - Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. So, after many years, a young and talented student who entered the university, became its rector. The man was at this post for 5 years. Then the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin removed Filippov from his post, as he prepared a new one for him - V. Filippov became the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation.
In 2000, a man became the head of one of the departments at the RUDN University (Department of Comparative Educational Policy). It was she who received the status of the International Chair at UNESCO. A year later, the rector of RUDN University was elected a corresponding member, in 2003 he became a full member of the Russian Academy of Education. In 2004 and 2008, Vladimir became a member of the Presidium of RAO. I would also like to note that the former Minister of Education of the Russian Federation is fluent in English and French.
At a high public office
Filippov Vladimir Mikhailovich, whose biography we are considering, came to the post of minister in the fall of 1998. He got the support of Deputy Prime Minister V. Matvienko. This year, the man began to improve the situation in Russian education. A year later, he promotes in the Government the Federal Program for the Development of Education in the period 2000-2004. The program was adopted by the Government, and it consisted in the fact that, in addition to basic funding, additional funds should be allocated for the development of education.
Organization of the Congress
On the personal initiative of V. Filippov, a deep modernization of the educational process was begun. Vladimir Filippov in Moscow in 2000 held the All-Russian Congress of Education Workers. It is interesting that at that time it was last held 12 years ago. The congress was held with the personal assistance of V. Putin. About 5000 delegates from different parts of the country came to the meeting.
The main task of the congress was to solve existing problems. And it succeeded. At the meeting, the main problem points were identified, as well as possible solutions. The topic of updating the education system was separately discussed. The congress participants also approved the National Education Doctrine, which was later approved by the Government. It is worth noting that the doctrine is scheduled for the period until 2025.
Innovations
The largest number of innovations in Russian education was introduced through the 2010 reform. It was developed by V. Filippov since 2001, and as a result, V. Putin approved it. It included a number of changes:
- active informatization of the educational process;
- development of completely new quality standards for secondary school education;
- introduction of a foreign language as a compulsory subject from grade 2;
- the need to speak 2 foreign languages after graduating from high school;
- training in specialized subjects in high school;
- implementation of the School Bus program;
- the establishment of rural schools, their optimization;
- optimization of school publications, improving their quality;
- introduction of a multi-point grading system;
- normative-per capita financing of secondary schools;
- full equipping of all schools of the Russian Federation with fiction and sports equipment;
- change in the status of a secondary school - transition to a legal entity

- active creation of board of trustees in schools and higher educational institutions;
- special attention to school nutrition - improving organizational and quality issues;
- targeted admission to universities after school;
- active development of new standards for primary, secondary and higher education.
However, it is worth adding one point of modernization, which had a significant impact on the education system. We are talking about the introduction of the exam - the Unified State Exam, the results of which are admitted to a higher educational institution. A new rule was also introduced, according to which admission to the university was carried out taking into account participation in regional and All-Russian Olympiads.
Family life
Filippov Vladimir Mikhailovich at RUDN University did not meet his fate. The woman of his life studied at the Volgograd Polytechnic Institute. It is known that she works as a teacher in school. This is how the whole family supports the education sector. The couple had two children - a girl and a boy. Both of them studied at RUDN University at the Faculty of Economics and successfully graduated from it. However, the daughter decided to connect her life with television and took the creative pseudonym Irena Ponaroshka. He works as a widget and presenter on Russian TV channels.
Scientific works
It is worth noting that the man, in addition to politics, always remained true to his scientific beginning. He has written over 200 scientific works, including 30 monographs. His contribution is so great that two monographs were even translated into English and published by the American Mathematical Society in the United States.
Summing up the article, I want to add the new achievements of Vladimir Filippov. So, in 2012, he became president of the UNESCO steering committee for the Education for All program. In the same year, the man became chairman of the Expert Council on international activities in the field of education. In 2013, the hero of our article, by order of Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, was appointed chairman of the Higher Attestation Commission.
In addition, V. Filippov has many awards and titles, the listing of which would take another couple of pages.
