Customizable fields. Why are two Ryazan universities recognized as ineffective? "There is no support, but the requirements are increased"

A solemn summing up took place in Moscow all-Russian project"RATINGS OF THE AUTO OF THE YEAR - 2018". The gala evening in the fashionable WOW club brought together representatives of the press, participants of the "Auto of the Year" quest, heads of large companies, representatives of PR and marketing of automobile companies and autobloggers.

According to the head of the project "Car of the Year in Russia" Vladimir Bezukladnikov "Ratings" differ from the spring project "Car of the Year Award" in that people from all over the country vote in them. They choose cars according to the same criteria as in life. The "premium" is selected according to the indicators of the producers. This year voting was held in four nominations - "Workhorses", "Modern", "Family", "Reliable" cars.

LADA Largus took the first place in the category "Workhorses" by a large margin of almost 5000 votes. The second and third places were taken by HYUNDAI, SOLARIS and GAZ, GAZEL NEXT. Among the "Modern" leaders SUBARU, FORESTER. VOLVO, XC90 are on the 2nd place, and AUDI, A8 are on the 3rd place, respectively. The first three "Family" are divided among themselves at SKODA, KODIAQ, SUBARU, FORESTER, LADA, LARGUS. TOYOTA, LAND CRUISER PRADO remains the first among the most "Reliable", for many years now. Russians consider this car the most adapted to Russian roads. The second and third places are taken by SUBARU, FORESTER and TOYOTA, CAMRY. In general, in this category, TOYOTA products are ranked 5 out of the best ten.

One of the winners of the beauty SUBARU contest, FORESTER, was awarded as a prize to the winner of the "Auto of the Year" quest, which recently ended in Sochi. Captain Evgeny Kopytov, together with his team, successfully completed all tasks and deservedly received an award. In addition to car keys, the gift included a set of Continental VikingContact 7 premium tires and a supply of TOTAL Quartz engine oil. The rest of the team also received certificates for sets of tires as a gift.

Custom fields are designed to store information about tasks or resources that cannot be placed in a note field. Custom text boxes are useful for storing small pieces of information that don't require formatting, such as the result of a task.

It would seem, in what cases the notes may not work? The main advantage of notes is the ability to attach external files to tasks or use text formatting commands. Since these advanced features are not needed in order to simply indicate the result of work in text form without formatting, they should be left for their intended use.

The advantage of custom fields is that they make it easy to structure information about tasks or resources. For example, a project client wants to understand what specific work is done during the execution of tasks and what results are achieved after the completion of each task. It is inconvenient to use notes to store two types of information, since you cannot view the description of the work separately from the results. But if you create two custom fields, one of which will contain a description of the work, and the other - their result, you can structure the data and use them separately in the future. In this case, notes will be reserved for storing files and other additional accompanying information.

Creating custom fields

The "internal" MS Project tables include a set of fields that the user can customize at his discretion and place his data in them. These fields can be either resources or tasks and differ in the types of data that can be stored in them. You can work with custom fields in the Customize Fields dialog box, invoked either from the context menu of the table header, or by using the Tools> Customize> Fields menu command.

The dialog box for setting fields consists of two tabs. The first tab, Custom Fields, is where you work with custom fields (Figure 13.16, file 15.mpp).

Before you can customize a field, you must decide whether its contents are Tasks or Resources and select the Task or Resource radio button accordingly. Then, in the Type drop-down list, you need to define the data type (Table 13.1) of this field.

Table 13.1. Custom field types in MS Project

Rice. 13.16. Field Settings Dialog Box

Having selected the required data type (in our example, 15.mpp is text), you need to select a field, and then configure it and set a name for it, so that you do not forget later that such and such data is stored in a field, for example, Textl. To do this, use the Rename button, after clicking on which a dialog box for entering the field name opens. Let's say we want to specify the result of a task in a custom field. Let's name the field Result, and its name will appear in the list of fields next to the name of the Textl field.

This operation is sufficient to create a simple custom field. We'll look at the rest of this dialog box later when we set up other fields in our plan. You can now click OK to exit the dialog and try to get a feel for the usability of the custom fields.

Populating with data

There are two ways to fill in custom fields. The first, traditional for previous versions of MS Project, is to add a field to the table and edit the data in it in the same way as in other fields. The second way you can edit custom field values, introduced only in MS Project 2002, is by using the Custom Fields tab in the task or resource details dialog box.

This tab lists all of the task-related custom fields that exist in the project (and a similar tab in the resource details dialog box will contain the resource-related fields). The table in the center of the dialog box has two columns. The left column, Custom Field Name, is the name of the field, and the right column, Value, is its value for the current task. For example, in Fig. 13.17 (IS.mpp file) we are editing the value of the Result field for the Collecting Proposals from Authors task. The result of the task execution will be a Suggestions file in editorial format.

Rice. 13.17. Populating a custom field value for a task

NOTE

In order for MS Project to "understand" that you want to use a custom field and display it in the dialog box, you must first rename this field.

As you can see in fig. 13.17, the WBS field is also in the configurable list. This happened because we changed its settings. If you do not customize the structure of task codes, then this field will not appear in the list of customizable ones.

Viewing content on a plan

You can display the contents of the fields in the table by adding the corresponding field to it, or directly on the Gantt chart, next to the tasks. To do this, in the line style settings dialog box, you need to edit the corresponding line types by adding the required field to the number of displayed data (for information on how to select fields to display next to the line segments, see the section "Setting up the text information displayed next to the line segment"). In addition, you can use the text style formatting tools to highlight the values ​​of these fields with a special font (see the section "Formatting text styles").

For example, in the diagram in Fig. On 13.18 (file 18.mpp) we edited the type of segments Task (Task) and in the settings displayed next to the text segment added the Result field so that it would be displayed below the segment. Then, in the text style formatting dialog box, we changed the font of the text displayed in the chart below the bars by adding an underline.

Rice. 13.18. The results of the tasks are displayed on the diagram next to the tasks.

Create custom LOV fields

Often Additional Information in custom fields is not unique for each task (as is the case with the Result field), but is repeated. For example, if a custom field contains information about the importance of achieving a result for the project, then the field value could be High, Medium, and Low.

If a custom field can have a limited set of values, then there is no point in manually filling in the field for each task. It is much more convenient to create a list of possible values ​​and then, by editing a custom field for a task, select a value from the list.

To define a list of values ​​for a field, in the field setup dialog box (see Figure 13.16), after selecting a custom field from the list, select the radio button next to the Value List button in the Custom attributes section. At the same time, MS Project will warn you that when you configure the list for the value for the field canola, the entered data may be lost, and if you are sure that you want to continue, then in the warning window you need to click the OK button.

The list of field values ​​is specified in the Value List dialog box, which opens after clicking the button of the same name in the field settings dialog box. In fig. 13.19 in this dialog we set up the Result Importance text box (file 14.mpp).

Rice. 13.19. Entering a list of values ​​for a custom field

In the center of the dialog is a table with two columns: Value and Description. The first contains the possible values ​​for the custom field, and the second contains the descriptions. Descriptions will be displayed when you select a value from the list at the time the field is filled.

Sometimes it is convenient that when you create a new task (or a resource, if the custom field refers to resources), one value from the list is automatically substituted into the field. For example, if most of the tasks in the project are of medium importance, then you can substitute the default value for Medium, and select other values ​​from the list as needed.

To make one of the values ​​the default, select the Use a value from the list as a default entry for the field check box. After that, the Set Default button will become available, clicking on which turns the value highlighted in the table into the default value. After we assigned the Average value as the default, the row containing this value and the table became highlighted in color.

NOTE

The default will be set in the custom field only for new tasks or resources. If resources were added before the field was configured, then the field value for them will not be defined (will remain empty).

The Data entry options section defines the order in which the custom field is filled. If you select the Restrict fields to items in the value list check box, then when you fill in the field, the selection will be limited to the existing list and you will not be able to enter arbitrary values. If you select the radio button Allow additional items to be entered into the field (Other elements are allowed in the field), then when filling out this field, you can either select items from the list, or enter arbitrary values.

If you want the arbitrary values ​​entered in the field to be automatically added to the list of values ​​for the field, you must select the Append new entries to the value list check box. And in order for the program to ask for confirmation before adding a value to the list, you need to select the Prompt before adding new values ​​checkbox.

The data entry mode, in which the last two check boxes are selected (as in Fig. 13.19), is quite convenient, since it makes it possible to add a new item to the list of values ​​without going into the field settings dialog box. On the other hand, warnings can help you avoid accidentally adding a value.

The order in which the list items are displayed on selection is determined by the radio buttons in the lower section of the dialog box, Display order for dropdown list. Values ​​can be sorted by row number in the table if you select the By row number radio button, or alphabetically if you select the Sort ascending or Sort descending radio button. The first option is most convenient, since it allows you to independently customize the order of records in the table and arrange the values ​​according to the expected frequency of their use.

Using formulas

Sometimes, custom field values ​​can be filled in automatically using formulas. For example, if you know how long it takes to edit 1 page of text on average, then by specifying the number of pages in an article, you can use a formula to calculate the total duration of a task to edit an article.

To enter a formula in a custom field, in the field setup dialog box (see Figure 13.16), select a custom field from the list, and then in the Custom attributes section, select the radio button next to the Formula button. MS Project will warn you that when you set up a formula for a field, all previously entered data may be lost, and if you are sure you want to continue, then click OK in the warning window.

To edit the formula, you need to click the Formula button, after which the MS Project formula editor will be loaded (Fig. 13.20, file IS.mpp). The editor consists of a formula editing area and a set of buttons, by clicking on which you can enter formula fragments. The formula can be completely typed by hand, or can be entered by clicking on the buttons.

Rice. 13.20. MS Project Formula Editor

You can use operations on other fields in MS Project in the formula. For example, in order to determine the total editing time for an article, you need to multiply the number of pages in the article by the time you edit one page. In our project (IS.mpp), we renamed the custom field Duration1 to Page Editing Time, and the Numberl field to Number of Pages in Article. So, to determine the value of the Duration2 field, or the Total editing time of the article, you need to multiply the value of the Durationl field by Number1. In the formula, as we can see in the figure, the field names (as in filters) must be enclosed in square brackets.

You can use the Field button to insert a field name into a formula, or the Function button to insert one of the dozens of available functions. In addition, you can use the Import Formula button to insert a formula into a field from another field in any of your open projects.

In fig. 13.21 (file IS.mpp) you can see how the settings we made are working. After filling in the Number of pages in article and Page editing time fields, the Total article editing time field is recalculated.

Rice. 13.21. Calculation with formulas works

However, the current scoring mode has one drawback: the durations calculated for each task are not cumulative for the phase. This means that we cannot automatically determine its duration. For a custom field to automatically recalculate values ​​for summary tasks, you need to customize it in a special way.

Custom fields and summary tasks

You can determine how the custom field data will be displayed for summary tasks in the field settings dialog box, in the Calculation for task and group summary rows section, by selecting the required field in the list (Fig. 13.22, file 16 .mpr).

Rice. 13.22. Set up calculations for summary tasks. The content of the dropdown list depends on the type of the selected field

The section contains three radio buttons: None, Rollup and Use formula. If you select the former, the custom field data will be calculated only for common tasks, not for summary tasks. The second radio button allows you to calculate the custom field value for summary tasks using one of the operations provided in the drop-down list. The composition of this list varies depending on the types of fields (Table 13.2), in addition, you cannot collapse data for text fields.

Table 13.2. Operations for Rolling Data in Summary Tasks

If a formula is used to calculate the custom field, a third radio button is available - Use formula. Selecting it uses the same formula for calculating custom field values ​​for summary tasks as for normal tasks. In our case (file 16.mpp) it is more convenient to use the addition operation of custom field values ​​for tasks than a formula. After all, our formula uses the values ​​of other fields when calculating, which means that for them you also need to configure the parameters for determining the value for summary tasks. If this is not done, then the values ​​of these fields for summary tasks will always be zero and the result of our formula will also be zero.

In fig. 13.23 shows a table from file 16.mpp with calculations of the total duration of article editing after we have configured the summation of values ​​for the phases in the Total article editing time field. Now the values ​​in it are summed, but in the other custom fields they are still not.

Rice. 13.23. Now the total editing time of articles is summed up

The duration we calculated is actually the amount of effort required to complete the editing work. However, this data cannot be automatically entered into the project plan, that is, in the Work field of the corresponding tasks, since this field is not customizable and you cannot enter formulas in it. Therefore, we can only place the data we received in this field manually.

The model, in which data is calculated in one field automatically when other fields are changed, and then must be manually transferred to the project plan, is fraught with one danger: you can accidentally forget to enter labor data into the project plan. In this case, the planned workload of the task will be incorrect, which means that the project plan as a whole will be inaccurate. To ensure that the workload of the task always matches the data in the custom field Total editing time for an article, we will use indicators.

Using indicators

MS Project contains the ability to display in a custom field not data, but color indicators. The color of the indicator depends on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of a logical condition. For example, in our case (file 17.mpp), you can create the Updated field and configure it so that if the data in the Total editing time of the article is equal to the data in the Work field, then it displays a green indicator, and if not equal - then red.

In principle, such an indicator can also be displayed in the Total article editing time field itself, but we will create an Updated field of type Flag (Flag) to demonstrate how to work with fields of this type.

In the field definition dialog, rename the Flagl field to Updated, and then open the formula setup dialog for it. Let's enter the formula = ([Duration2] = [Labor costs]). Flag fields can only contain Yes or No, and if the formula condition is met (that is, the total article editing time is equal to the work), then the field will contain Yes, and if the condition is not met - No ( No).

Now you need to customize the display of indicators. To do this, in the Values ​​to display section of the field setup dialog box (see Figure 13.16), select the radio button next to the Graphical Indicators button. Then, to configure the indicators, you need to click this button. In the window that opens (Fig. 13.24, file 17.mpp), you need to configure the criteria for displaying indicators for different tasks.

Rice. 13.24. Dialog box for customizing the display of indicators

At the top of the dialog box, you need to select the radio button corresponding to the type of tasks for which the criteria for displaying indicators are configured: Nonsummary rows, Summary rows, or Project summary. At the same time, for each type, you can customize the criteria for displaying the indicator.

To display indicators for summary tasks according to the same criteria as for regular tasks, you need to select the Summary rows inherit criteria from nonsummary rows checkbox. And in order for the summary project task to use the same criteria as the summary tasks, you need to select the Project summary inherits criteria from summary rows checkbox. If both checkboxes are checked, then by adjusting the settings for common tasks, you thereby determine the display options for all other tasks in the project. Indicator display parameters are configured in the table in the center of the dialog box.

The table contains three columns: Test for, Values, and Image. In the first column from the list, a condition is selected to which the value in the second column must match. The list of conditions coincides with the one we used when creating filters in lesson 4 "Sorting, grouping and filtering data in tables" (see Table 4.1).

You can use specific values, such as Yes or No, as in our case, or you can select the value of any of the fields. In the last field from the list, a picture is selected to be used as an indicator if the condition described in the first two fields is met. So, in our case, if the field value is Yes, the green indicator should be displayed, and if it is No, the red indicator should be displayed.

The field value checks are performed in turn from top to bottom, and when the condition is first matched, the indicator that will be displayed is selected. To move conditions up and down the list, use the arrow buttons located to the side of the list.

Sometimes you want to view the field values ​​hidden "under" the indicator. If you select the Show data values ​​in ToolTips check box, the data will be displayed when you hover the mouse over the indicator.

The result of setting indicators for the Updated field is shown in Fig. 13.25 (file 17.mpp). As we can see, if the data in the field Total editing time of an article is not equal to the workload of the task, the field contains a red indicator, and if they are equal, a green indicator.

Rice. 13.25. Indicator setting result

However, the figure also shows a discrepancy - the labor costs in the summary task are 40 hours (5 days), and the total time for editing articles calculated using the formula is three. However, the field displays a green indicator. What's the matter?

If we place the cursor on a cell with an indicator in the line of a regular task, we will see that the field cannot be edited (since its value is calculated by a formula), and if we position the cursor on the line of the summary task, we will see that the cell can be edited. That is, when setting up a formula for the Updated field, we forgot to define a formula for calculating the value for summary tasks.

Let's go to the field settings dialog box and select the data summarization operation for the Updated field (similar to Fig. 13.22). Since this is a Flag type field, the set of operations (according to Table 13.2) will not be the same as for a Duration type field. Among them, the And operation suits us: if all ordinary tasks inside the total have the Yes value, then the total value will be the same. And if among the common tasks there is at least one field with the value No, then the value in the summary task field will also be No. This is exactly what we need: if the labor costs of at least one of the usual tasks are not updated and do not correspond to the calculations by the formula, then the labor costs of the summary task are also not correct. Now the summary task indicator will be green only when the indicators of all tasks nested in it are also green. In fig. 13.26 shows the results of these settings (IS.mpp). We copied the summary task and its nested tasks to demonstrate how the union works for a field of type Flag. In the first case, when among the nested tasks of a phase there is one with a red indicator, the phase indicator is also red. In the second case, when all the indicators of the nested tasks are green, the indicator for the phase is also green.

Research organization "Levada-Center" noted almost a twofold increase in the number of Russians dissatisfied with the rich.

In the case of real estate fraud in the MiG corporation, the former general director of the corporation's subsidiary, OJSC MiG-Rost, Aleksey Ozerov, and the deputy general director of PJSC Tupolev, Yegor Noskov, were arrested, Kommersant learned
According to the newspaper, we are talking about the events of 2001, when MiG decided to get rid of its allegedly non-core asset with an area of ​​22 thousand square meters. m in Moscow on Polikarpov street. The real estate was transferred to the economic department "MiG-Rost", which was headed by Ozerov. Subsequently, when a plan appeared on the centralized sale of space vacated when the DGC production facilities were withdrawn from Moscow, the assets were encumbered with a lease agreement, which was then extended for 49 years.

In 2004, the complex of buildings on Polikarpova Street was sold to Business-Aktiv LLC, which was created in the same year. And a year later this company with an asset of hundreds of millions of rubles for only 10 thousand rubles. was bought by businessman Yegor Noskov, who is now the deputy general director of Tupolev PJSC for the property complex. "Business-Active" ceased to exist in 2010, and "MiG-Rost" - two years later, the newspaper writes.
The investigation also established that in 2005 all the real estate that once belonged to MiG was resold for almost 50 million rubles. LLC "Liberta-investment", which has been leasing it for ten years, including to structures, part of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC)... The investigation has no claims to Liberta-investment LLC as a bona fide buyer, the newspaper writes.

After all, everyone sees how the social sphere is being cut against the background of the furiously hysterical consumption of small groups of citizens covered at the highest state level. Here Ulyukaev speaks, and talks about the tax system. Say, no progressive scale!
The rich will pay the same personal income tax interest as the poor. Is this Europe? No. This is the plunder of the population and the fattening of the elite, who stole the people's property in the course of the bandit privatization, and was firmly attached to it.

“- Okay, okay, kids, just give me a time limit,
You will have a squirrel and a whistle! "

Parents often support their adult children financially by helping them buy their first car or pay the rent. Miles Dunkley's father, Graham, went even further - he gave his son a stake in a company for the production of expensive cosmetics and hygiene products, which he founded 15 years earlier. Miles took over 25% in her father's company, SLG, just as she completed her first deal to buy another business.

This was in 2000: Dunkley turned 33 and his 63-year-old father was preparing to retire from running the business. Five years later, the father gave his son control of the entire company. Dunkley is currently in office general director SLG, has a revenue of £ 40m and has 160 employees in the UK and Shanghai.

The transfer of control is easier if the heir is no longer a young man and has enough experience, as is the case with SLG. If there are several children in a family, there is a risk that someone will feel left out, says Bernard Rennell, head of family management and inheritance companies at HSBC.

David Glassman, a freelance lecturer at the Cranfield School of Management and a consultant who provides advice on family business issues, believes that when transferring control of a business, the most important thing is to avoid favoritism or any hint of it. “Use clear performance criteria for all positions in the company. A well thought-out system will give all current and future employees a clear idea that the most talented are achieving success here, ”he advises.

Difficult decision

98% 2/3 of companies worldwide are family businesses. However, for many of them, the transition from a startup to a family-run business is not easy, Cohen points out. “When a business is built from scratch, it’s difficult for entrepreneurs to relinquish management to both experienced managers and their own children,” he says.

Dunkley Jr. had the opportunity to show his father what he was capable of: before joining the co-ownership of the company, he worked there for several years as a manager. “I was eager to move the company forward, and my father, for obvious reasons, slowed down,” he recalls. The second, a controlling stake in Dunkley received from his father, when SLG, thanks to acquisitions and the strategy chosen by his son, began to grow rapidly.

Money is at the root of the problem, says Allan Cohen, a professor at Babson College, a business school that specializes in entrepreneurship research. “If the company is the source of the future financial well-being of the entire family, relatives may fear that the family member chosen to run the company will not be able to provide the business with the proper prosperity,” he explains.

Dunkley Jr. has three children and can pass his business on to the next generation. However, the eldest is only 16 years old, and it is too early to make a decision. To always remember his own luck, Dunkley keeps a framed greeting card from his father, written at the time when he was handing over the management of the company to his son. “I think I’m lucky because from day one my father believed in me incredibly,” says Dunkley, adding that he has so far managed to justify that trust “without breaking any rules.”

In general, about five hundred higher educational institutions and twice as many branches were evaluated in Russia. There were several evaluation criteria:
- the average USE score of applicants;
- calculation of scientific and design work per employee;
- the share of foreign students in the total number of graduates;
- income of the university from all sources and the area of ​​educational and laboratory classrooms per student.
If the “examinee” in one of the five indicators was below the threshold determined by the Ministry of Education and Science, then it was recognized as ineffective.

"We evaluate ourselves according to the same criteria"
Such "generators" of scientific thought as the Radio Engineering and Medical Universities of Ryazan are among the favorites. RGRTU Rector Viktor Gurov basically agrees with the selection criteria:
“We ourselves evaluate it within our university by practically the same parameters as in the ministry,” says Viktor Sergeevich. - 10 years ago, a concept for the development of higher educational institutions was spelled out, and I was not surprised by today's assessment criteria. The only thing I disagree with is that agricultural universities are assessed in the same way as others. They must be supported by the state, because they carry a significant social function. After all, their graduates must return to the countryside - this is the criterion that must be taken into account.
It is not by chance that the rector of the "radical" drew attention to agricultural universities. After all, the Ryazan Agro-Technological University in the same "table of ranks" is recognized as ineffective.

"There is no support, but the requirements are increased"
For obvious reasons, the leadership of the RGATU refrained from commenting, but the teachers did not remain silent, however, on condition of anonymity.
“I don't quite agree with this definition of inefficiency,” says Ruslana, Ph.D., a graduate of the Ryazan Agricultural Institute. - I don’t want to praise my university, I’ll say one thing: it’s a shame that the state does not support us. We do not see normal funding from the Ministry of Agriculture (and in this matter we refer specifically to this ministry, and not to the Ministry of Education and Science, like others). The salaries of teachers are lower than in other universities in Ryazan, by three to five thousand, student scholarships - respectively. Therefore, in order to survive, you have to work on several jobs. And this, you know, is not normal for a scientist. Rumors about the reorganization have been circulating for two years now, I think that now they will become reality ...

The fate of another Ryazan university will be decided in the last autumn month. In the list of "ineffective" - ​​a relatively recently reorganized from the state pedagogical university - Yesenin Russian State University. The 2005 reform, when the Russian State University was made from "ped," had and still have both supporters and those who are skeptical of innovations.

One of them, Alexey Gryaznov, a graduate of 2004, graduated from Physics and Mathematics with honors, worked for two years in a rural school, now occupies high position in the capital:
- I was just graduating from the pedagogical university when the reorganization was going on, - says Alexey. - We wondered what diploma we would receive. RSPU graduated not just teachers, it graduated scientists. If you continue to study in graduate school, you are already a scientist with a teacher's diploma. There were many young people at the university. Our course was taught by Associate Professor Retyunskikh: "science is science" on the one hand, and on the other, she understood us, because she herself was recently a student. I am very glad that she led all five years: she knew everything well, could explain. There were no random people then ...

Three streams in one?
From November 6 to November 14, a group of specialists from Moscow will work in Ryazan, which will first decide whether to approve the list of "ineffective" universities or exclude certain ones from it. educational establishments"On the basis of their particular importance for the development of a region or industry." This is exactly what the preamble to the research results says. And only then interdepartmental commission will deliver the final verdict. This is the official point of view.

From sources that should be trusted, we learned that the merger of three universities: RGRTU, RGATU and RGU - will nevertheless take place. And the scientific "conglomerate" will be headed by the Radio Engineering University, and ... three financial streams will be combined into one. It should be noted that Education Minister Dmitry Livanov said that in the next three years it is planned to reduce universities by 20%, and the number of their branches by 30%. At the same time, he said that during the reorganization, the interests of all students will be taken into account. True, it is not clear - will the opinion of the teachers be taken into account?
