    The System of Russian Higher Education

    The majority of state institutes of higher education are regulated by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. Some of them are regulated by other state Ministries.

    Non-state educational institutes can be established institutionally and legally in the forms stipulated by the Russian Federation Laws for nonprofit organizations. The majority of them teach humanities, economics, and law – the disciplines that do not require expensive high-tech equipped facilities and big capital investments. Students at non-state schools need to pay for their education during the whole period of study.

    There are three kinds of higher education institutions in Russia: universities, academies, and institutes. All of them realize programmes of undergraduate and graduate professional education.

    1. “University” covers a wide range of fields of study, for example, technical university or classical university.

    2. “Academy” differs from universities by a narrower spectrum of specialties connected with a particular industry, for example, Academy of Railway Transport, Academy of Agriculture, or Academy of Economics.

    3. The status of an “Institute” requires teaching of at least one discipline.

    Universities also conduct fundamental and applied research in a wide spectrum of sciences, while the academies and institutes run their scientific activities in one field of Science or Art. To hold a status of a university or an academy it is obligatory to be a leading scientific and methodological center in the field of your specialization. Institutes mainly offer the professional training. Institute also can be established as a department of a university or an academy with the aim to conduct autonomic educational or scientific activities.

    Before 1990 only classical universities had the status of “universities”. There were not so many of them, only in the big regional centers.

    With the reforms of 1990s institutes of higher education got the right to reorganize their main activities and this led to mass raising the statuses from “institutes” to “academies” and “universities”. This tendency changed the structure of the state system of education.

    Besides the division into universities, academies and institutes, state licensing and accreditation are the most important characteristics of any institute of higher education. State license gives institution the permission to offer educational services. That means that an institution has enough well-equipped space, which will allow teaching an appropriate number of students; that it has in its staff well educated and trained lectors and teachers. This document is issued by Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. Every branch of the institute of higher education needs to get state license separately from the head institution. There are two types of accreditations in Russia: state accreditation and community accreditation.

    State accreditation means correspondence between the quality of education on accredited programmes and state educational standards.

    Accreditation also gives the right to issue state-standard diplomas. Constant state control of the quality of educational services is legally guaranteed only for accredited schools. Institutes of higher education can be accredited for the period, which not exceeds 5 years. The word “state” in the name of the institute of higher education guarantees that this institute issues state standard diplomas.

    The aim of community accreditation is appreciation of the level of activities of institute of higher education, which corresponds to the criteria and expectations of civic educational, professional, scientific and industrial organizations. Community accreditation does not mean financial or any other obligations from the state.

    Innovative Projects in the Field of Pre-school and

    Primary Education in Russia

    Russia has a network of experimental playgrounds of various levels at which innovative processes are being developed. A great number of these playgrounds have been organized at pre-school education establishments.

    The projects can be divided into two groups. The first group comprises projects which are adaptations of existing innovation programmes to the conditions of specific education establishments (for example, various kinds of projects for setting up education establishments of the “kindergarten-school” type).

    The second group comprises projects based on the modernization of existing programmes and their improvement and development (for example, ideas behind the Montessori method in modern kindergartens; the building of a developing environment in various kinds of pre-school education establishment). These education system projects are interesting because of their new methods of resolving problems which may be used on quite a large scale.

    The changes which have taken place in the pre-school education sphere in Russia over the past 15 years have become widespread.

    Education in Great Britain

    First Steps

    “It’s not just keeping them amused,” says one teacher of pre-school teaching, “it’s where the first age of education begins.” Around half of 3-and 4-years-olds in Britain receive nursery education, and many other children attend pre-school playgroups, mostly organized by parents. Children of nursery age need care as well as education, however, and it is not just their mental requirements, but social, emotional and physical needs that must be met. In local authority nursery schools, qualified teachers, usually primary teachers with a nursery teaching qualification, work alongside helpers and nursery nurses to achieve this.

    Of course, parents play a key role in educating nursery-age children as one nursery teacher acknowledges: “A child in a nursery can be very different to a child at home, so I involve parents as much as I can. This helps in observing particular children and monitoring their development.”
    Keeping Parents in the Picture

    It’s a system which concentrates on the children, but doesn’t forget the parents. The Parent’s Charter was published in 1991, to enable them to make more informed decisions about their children’s education. It means that parents will receive regular information about the way their child’s school is performing; including a summary of a recent inspection report of the school, as well as their child is progressing.

    The Five Ages of Education in Britain
    Many British children start nursery education at the age of 3 or 4, they attend preschool playgrounds, mostly organized by parents. Compulsory primary education begins at the age of 5 in England, Wales and Scotland, and 4 in Northern Ireland. Primary education takes place in infant schools for pupils aged from 5 to 7 years old and junior schools (from eight to eleven years). Subjects covered include English, mathematics and science, along with technology, history, geography, music, art, and physical training (education - PE).

    The school year in England and Wales normally begins in September and continues into the following July; in Scotland, it runs from August to June and in Northern Ireland from September to June.

    At secondary level, according to the National Curriculum, the children start to learn a modern foreign language. At seven and eleven years old (and at secondary school, at fourteen and sixteen), teachers measure children’s progress in each subject against attainment targets. In English, for instance (= for example), there are five basic targets: speaking and listening; reading; writing; spelling; and handwriting. For each target, there are ten levels of attainment.

    At the age of sixteen, after four years of study, pupils have to take school-leaving examinations in several subjects at the Ordinary level. This exam is also called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). If you want to continue your education, you have to stay at school after GCSE for two further years and take A (Advanced) level exams in two or three subjects. It is very important to do well in this exam because this is a standard exam for entrance to university.

    In Britain most children of compulsory secondary age (eleven to sixteen) receive free education. These schools get money from public funds. There is also a small segment (about 6%) of private or “independent” schools, not financed by the state. Nowadays there are about 2,500 fee-charging independent schools in GB. The schools, called “public” schools, aren’t co-educational. They are single-sex until the age of sixteen. The most expensive day or boarding schools are exclusive public schools like Eton College, Harrow, and Rugby for boys or St. James’ school for girls. They are mainly for well-to-do families. However, local authorities may help parents to pay fees.

    British education has many different faces but one goal. Its aim is to realize the potential of all for the good of the individual and society as a whole.
