One of the problems to be solved within the framework of the Bologna Process is the attraction of a great amount of learners and highly qualified technicians into Europe from other countries of the world. At that, an important stage in the quality assurance cooperation development has become the year 1998. The recommendation of the Council about the higher education quality assurance European collaboration was accepted in September. Having signed the Bologna Agreement Russia passed to the training of specialists, who would correspond to the European Community quality criteria. The given change-over can hardly be considered an ultimate one, a serious work on the introduction of teaching methods and education quality control over the period of a series of years lies ahead. Great discussions on these and other problems associated with the higher educational institutions students´ training are being conducted for years. At that, the most important Quality Assurance Systems´ features stand out: the autonomy of the structures responsible for the quality assurance in member countries in the context of procedures and methods choice; their adequacy to the profile and purposes of concrete institutes; the dedicated use of internal and external procedures of valuation. At the given historical stage everything concerning the students´ training has become clear enough. The problem of training of highly qualified specialists, of engineering specialties, first of all, from the number of people graduated from higher educational institutions 10-15 years ago, appears to be rather more complicated. Within the framework of mobility and cooperation programs in the sphere of education and professional training the integration of the programs SOCRATES, LEONARDO DA VINCI, TEMPUS III has been offered. The new integrated program includes: a comprehensive program of mobility and cooperation in education for the EC member-states, the European Economic Area member-countries / European Free Trade Association (EEA / EFTA) and candidate countries as long as life endures, including both higher education and professional training of other levels; the new program TEMPUS PLUS for the cooperation between the countries bordering the EC and participating in the program TEMPUS devoted to education and professional development; the program ERASMUS MUNDUS. The comprehensive program for lifelong learning has been essentially enhanced in the part of decentralized actions and is aimed at the support of individual mobility of people and partnership between organizations. Its tasks include: the participation of not less than 10% of school children and teachers in the program COMENIUS for the period of 2007-2013; the participation of not less than 3 million students in the program ERASMUS by 2010; not less than 150 thousand listeners to qualification programs per year up to 2013; not less than 50 thousand adults taught and teaching abroad per year up to 2013. As one can see - the figures are impressive. Which will be Russia´s part in these figures? Two cornerstones of education - language knowledge and financial problems, as always, will be in the path of "individual mobility of people and partnership between organizations".
