    Advantages:

    In the new distribution system, how much money each school receives is determined not by the state, but by the schoolchildren themselves. Therefore, subsidies will be provided to those educational institutions that are more attractive in the eyes of consumers (schoolchildren and their parents). Currently, public schools receive the same amount of money as private, the amount does not depend on the quality of educational services provided. The new system will allow to differentiate higher education institutions and provide an opportunity to pay for better teachers in private schools. Also, such a system will significantly reduce the administrative reports of schools to the Ministry of Education, the need for justification of funding of certain programs disappears.

    Disadvantages:

    The consumer of services of educational institutions is not only schoolchildren but also the state and employers. In the proposed mechanism there is no possibility to carry out the State policy in the field of planning the number of specialists in certain fields. The factor of interest of enterprises in the formation of programs of universities is not considered.
