DESIGNING THE FRAMEWORK OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION IN CONDITIONS OF THE SIXTH TECHNOLOGICAL STRUCTURE

Relevance. Over 30 years of training students in the field of «Public and Municipal Administration» (PMA), the graduating departments of Russian universities have experienced several transformation periods. This article formulates the essence of new challenges that PMA departments need to prepare for and proposes principles for designing scientific and educational activities that should form the basis for the work of the new generation of graduating departments. Novelty. The study fills the gap in the development of new principles for organizing PMA departments and examines the work of graduating departments in the current dynamic technological context, outlining the future morphological and functional contours of these structures. Problem statement. The inevitable and accelerating transition to the sixth technological order will create the preconditions for the emergence of a new model for training public managers based on attracting private capital to finance the work of PMA graduating departments. Research hypothesis. The transition to the sixth technological order will entail a reduction in the number of the PMA graduating departments will change the structure of leading departments (with the departure of «old-timers» and the emergence of «newcomers»), it will require a return to mathematics as a core examination subject when recruiting the PMA students and will create prerequisites and incentives for the participation of private capital as a source of financing for leading graduating departments. Results of the study. The factors of change and ecosystem elements of the structural and functional composition of graduating departments in the field of Public and Municipal Administration in the conditions of the sixth technological order were determined.
