EDUCATION SYSTEM IN RUSSIA
The Russian
educational system, as it has been noted many times by major international experts,
is one of the most developed and advanced educational systems in the world. In
the context of a changing society the educational system proved to be capable,
on the one hand, of adapting to rapid transformations of new realities (while
preserving its well-known strong qualities) and on the other hand, to the
phase of prolonged evolutionary reformation.
Higher
education is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Education
and Science of the Russian
Federation, which is responsible for the accreditation and licensing of
higher education establishments, and for developing and maintaining State
Educational Standards.
Only
accredited higher education establishments have the right to issue state diplomas and degrees ensuring full vocational and academic rights,
and are covered by the international agreements on mutual recognition and
validation of education documents. Only accredited higher education
establishments have the right to use the seal with the national
emblem of the Russian Federation. All
state degrees awarding specific qualifications to a graduate, irrespective of
the type of educational institution (University, Academy, and Institute) and
the ownership pattern (state, municipal, non-state), are equal in status.
The Russian
Federation discerns the following types of higher education establishments:
·
University is a
higher education institution with activities aimed at developing education,
science, and culture by performing fundamental scientific research and training
at all the levels of higher, post-higher and further education within a wide
range of Natural Sciences, Humanities and other directions of science,
technology, and culture.
·
Academy is a
higher education institution aimed at developing education, science, and
culture by performing fundamental scientific research and training at all the
levels of higher, post-higher and further education, mainly in one specific
area of science, technology and culture.
·
Institute is an
independent higher education institution or a part (structural unit) of the
university, and academy that applies vocational educational curricula in
specific areas of science, technology, culture and is involved in scientific
research.
