Education system in Russia
The education system in Russia is Federal and centralized. Today, the Russian education system is quite similar to the German one, but still it is a more simplified version. It consists of such structural elements:
- Preschool education. It allows children to acquire basic knowledge but does not equate to schooling. Children begin to attend kindergartens mainly from one and a half years and are there till six years.
- Primary school. Responsible for the education of children from six to ten years. The difference from the German counterpart is the opportunity to receive primary education in high schools.
- Incomplete secondary education in General education schools, lyceums and gymnasiums have been received for five years. At the end of the nine grades in these schools, young people have the right to obtain a document of General secondary education.
- Full secondary or vocational education entitles to College, College and other vocational training institutions. After completion of education, graduates of the 10th and 11th grades of the gymnasium, school or Lyceum have the right to receive a document confirming full secondary education, followed by its filing with the UNIVERSITY. Similar right education system in Russia gives any person who graduated from a professional educational institution (in Germany it is not allowed).
- Higher education is associated with obtaining a bachelor's degree, specialist's or master's degree.
In 1992, after the adoption of the relevant law of the Russian Federation, the reform of domestic higher education began. With the help of this legislative document and formed a modern system of education in Russia.
Another law of the Russian Federation responsible for higher education in 1996 defined three stages of its receipt:
- incomplete higher, for which you need to study for two years;
- basic higher (bachelor) with a period of four years;
- specialist (training period of five years) and master (training period - six years).
So, let's stop in more detail at each level of higher education. Bachelor is a graduate of the University, which was trained for four years and received fundamental training in General specialization. At the same time, he has the right to hold positions, the requirement for which is the availability of higher education.
The system of education in Russia provides for raising the level of bachelor through additional training (another year) and qualification "specialist". However, the best option for a bachelor is to obtain a qualification of "master" (training for two years with the defense of a master's thesis).
The system of continuing education in Russia deserves special attention today. On the one hand, this system reflects the objective needs of society. On the other hand, with the help of such a system of training, the basic level of knowledge is constantly updated and special skills are acquired, which are so necessary in the modern economy. We can also say that continuing education is a kind of teaching about the constant improvement of human life and the development of his abilities.
The system of education in Russia from the standpoint of the concept of continuity should be "completed" with new steps that would be designed for all periods of human life. As the main goal of management in this system of training should be considered the constant development of creative thinking and human potential. And at the center of this system should be the person himself, his desires and, of course, the development of his abilities.
