education is stated in the constitution of the Russia Federation. It’s

ensured by compulsory secondary schools, vocational schools and higher

education establishment. It is also ensured by the development of

extramural and evening courses and the system of state scholarship and

grants.

Education in Russia is compulsory up to the 9th form inclusive. The

stages of compulsory schooling in Russia are: primary education for

ages 6-7 to 9-10 inclusive; and senior school for ages 10-11 to 12-13

inclusive, and senior school for ages 13-14 to 14-15 inclusive. If a

pupil of secondary school wishes to go on in higher education, he or

she must stay at school for two more years. Primary and secondary

school together comprise 11 years of study. Every school has a «core

curriculum» of academic subjects, such as…

After finishing the 9th form one can go on to a vocational school

which offer programmes of academic subjects and a programme of

training in a technical field, or a profession.

After finishing the 11th form of a secondary school, a lyceum or a

gymnasium one can go into higher education. All applicants must take

competitive exam. Higher education institution, that is institutes or

universities, offer a 5-years programme of academic subjects for

undergraduates in a variety of fields, as well as a graduate course

are in charge of academic and scientific work. An institute or a

university has a number of faculties, each specializing councils which

The system of higher and secondary education in Russia is going trough

a transitional period. The main objectives of the reforms are: to

decentralize the higher education system, to develop a new financial

mechanism, to give more academic freedom to faculties and students.

All secondary schools, institutes and universities until recently have

been funded by the state. Now there is quite a number of private

fee-paying primary and secondary schools, some universities have

fee-paying departments.

All British children must stay at school from the age of 5 until they

are 16. Many of them stay longer and take final examination when they

are 17 or 18. Before 1965 all children had to go through special

intelligence tests. There were different types of state secondary

schools and at the age of 11 children went to different schools in

accordance of with the results of the tests.

State schools are divided into the following types:

- Grammar schools. Children who go to grammar schools are usually

  • Reflection On Service Learning In The Community

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    When it comes to service learning I have always found it to be a rewarding way to challenge yourself as well as a better way to connect with and understand your community. I am actually not associated with any religious organization, but I have been doing community service for the better half of my school career. In the past and in the case of this courses requirements I volunteered my time at schools who are always in need of people who are willing to help the staff and students. I spent my ten plus hours at Faubion Middle School in Mrs. Phyllis Madison’s humanities classroom. This was a seventh grade classroom full of kids who had been labeled as troublemakers and slackers by the administration, but while

  • Diction In Eudora Welty's Essay

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    For that, Welty needs exemplification. When coupled with the diction, exemplification serves as the main device implemented merging her experiences into a essay the explains the her relationship with fiction, and reading as a whole. Welty is a storyteller and she uses her skill to craft the narrative that describe her relationship with fiction. She describes the near mythological terror of the minotaur of the librarian, Ms. Jackson, who guarded the labyrinthian library of her hometown. She reminisces over the titles countless books she inhaled, two by two, as she rushed, back and forth, day after day, to the library for more. She speaks of her mother, who shared that same joy of reading, and who also enabled her to get her first library card. She illustrates about how books were ever present in her house. It’s through this exemplification and description that Welty is able to justify to the reader why books had such an intense role in her life, and why reading has held such value to her. Books were everywhere, they permeated her childhood. The effect of her vivid descriptions are that the reader and the author's perspective are merged. Rather than reading than reading the text, the reader experience’s it, and it's through the shared viewpoint that reader is able to realize the intensity and value reading brought to Welty’s

  • Service Learning Project

    1545 Words  | 4 Pages

    I volunteered at the Activity Center for my Service Learning project. My duties were to watch the kids who participated in the after school program, play with them and help them with their home homework. I really enjoyed interacting with the African-American people and culture. I learned many things from the African-American population I worked with. I learned how the Activity Center staff teaches the after school kids good manners and behavior. I mentioned in one of my service learning journals that the staff was very strict and treated the kids like prisoners, but I came to the realization that maybe that is how they teach the kids discipline. I had the opportunity to be around all the Activity Center kids and interact with them. They were kids just like any other kids. Of course they are kids and sometimes they did misbehave but overall they were really great kids. I noticed that most of the boys want to be more independent of them, but they were such sweet kids.

  • The Victim's Fault Essay

    1698 Words  | 4 Pages

    I could see the fear in her eye, and could feel the pain in her trembling hands. I could sense her discomfort when she talked about the night. I had never known, and never would have guessed, that something happened to her at a party with kids I knew from my school. She told me first. She only told me. She spoke to me about how she can not be in a room with a stranger, or how she feels that part of her died that night. She explained that hugs didn’t feel good anymore, they felt intrusive. She explained that she won’t stay in a room with a male teacher if the other students leave. Every part of her life, she explained, has been changed. She wasn’t the same girl anymore, and she blamed herself for it. Even contemplating suicide, like many victims often do, seemed better than living with the memories. She was too afraid to talk to her parents, because she had drank a little the night of the incident; and too afraid to tell her friends, because they thought that the guy was cool. She didn’t trust anyone anymore, not even her old best guy friends. She had known him; they had been friends in junior high. She knew him…

  • Service Learning Research and Reflection paper

    Each school, because of government mandate, has to provide services for exceptional students. The textbook Human Diversity in Education defines exceptional students as “those eligible for special educational services” (Cushner, McClelland & Safford, 2011). There are several categories for exceptional student but they all fall under the Ability/Disability continuum. Some of the categories for exceptional students are the: intellectually gifted, specific learning disability, emotionally handicapped, hearing impaired, visually impaired, mentally handicapped, and physically handicapped. In this paper the specific type of students that will be discussed, fall under the disabled side of the continuum. As one can see from the list above there are various types of disabilities that can affect students. One of the disabilities that affect many students in schools today is known as the Learning Disability (LD). Students with learning disabilities, also known as specific learning disabilities, tend to be of at least average intelligence. Of at least average intelligence is the key phrase. A learning disability is defined as “a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to receive, process, store, and respond to information” (National Center for Learning Disabilities,). Learning disabilities can affect students in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing and spelling, reasoning, and mathematics. A student that has a learning disability can at times suffer for a social anxiety. Though social anxiety can be something minor, for students with this disability 2011it can cause major problems. Their social anxiety is caused by fearing that they will not fit in because they are unable to understand or process the information a...

    How did a departmental faculty generated 12,000 hours of student community service in one semester? The following is a qualitative analysis of conversations with faculty members in a department that recently instituted a service learning requirement for all student majors. The campus is a large urban comprehensive university with a multi-ethnic student body. Approximately fifteen faculty members were interviewed for this study. While most of those interviewed included service learning components in their courses, interviews with faculty members who resisted or refused to incorporate service learning were conducted as well in order to understand varying faculty attitudes towards service learning.

    When a woman approached Benjamin Franklin following the concluding session of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in the fall of 1787 and asked what sort of government the delegates had come up with, Franklin famously replied: "A republic, madam, if you can keep it." The relevance of that notable statement transcended centuries and applied itself not only to national politics. The People’s participation in maintaining an agreeable government depends on a collective activism regarding both state and local civic affairs.

    To volunteer means too, “freely offer to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task”. Anybody with spare time should offer their time to a business needing help. A citizen can offer their volunteer services at an animal shelter, a library, a habitat for humanity, a national park, or many others.

  • The Education System

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and reasons have been made me agree with some of points from Gatto’s and Edmunson’s and disagree them.

  • Superior Educational Systems in Finland and South Korea

    Before a country’s workforce experiences any improvement, that country must come up with a large number of educated citizens. The postwar governments of Finland and South Korea understood this and made it a goal to focus their population’s attention onto education in order to improve the standards of living. The amount of dedicated teachers and parents that got involved in their students’ educational life increased remarkably. Federal and local governments got involved and made it possible for every child to attend a public school as close to home as possible. Improvements in both countries’ educational systems arose in every family’s household. A strong educational system requires value, availability to all, and specific goals set by the curriculum.
