    Is this usual pace or is there some big reconstruction program going on right now?


    It probably means the population isn't in decline anymore, it's rebounding, so in short it's the product of a baby boom. Ideally speaking Russia needs a population of at least 600-800 million, with a population that large the productive capital would be tremendous!

    There's been a deficit of kindergardens since like.. forever. During the Soviet days there weren't enough either.

    With the fertility boom in Russia right now, this question has taken on a more urgent character, and since the government has made reversing bad demographics a corner-stone policy, I'm sure that the current boom in kindergarden construction is a result of funds earlier allocated for the purpose.

    LDPR opposed unified national exams and the extensive use of multiple choices in exam.

    https://www.rt.com/politics/330161-nationalists-blast-education-reform-as/

    MPs representing LDPR, a Russian nationalist opposition party, have drafted a bill that would scrap the unified state exam, based on multiple choice tests, and reintroduce separate graduation tests in schools and entry exams at institutes and universities.

    “When the Unified State Examination (USE) was introduced, it was supposed to eliminate corruption and ensure that graduates’ knowledge is tested effectively and without bias. But today we see that the reform that started in 2002 by introducing the USE brings no results manifested in quality of graduates’ knowledge, broader access to higher education and reducing corruption,” the bill’s sponsors wrote in their explanatory note.

    They emphasized that the current form of the unified exams is based on multiple choice tests and this “does not reflect the students’ real knowledge” and “only teaches the children to tick the boxes.” Another flaw pointed out by the lawmakers was that the rules of the unified exams were constantly changing and this turned the reform into “an inadmissible experiment with children and schools used as subjects.”

    The MPs said that canceling the unified exams would help to save funds allocated for the purpose in the federal budget. LDPR lawmakers also claimed in their note that currently Russian colleges and universities could offer more places than the overall number of students. “Russian higher educational establishments can accept all who want to study there and there is no need for any unified exams,” they wrote.

    Earlier this month, LDPR lawmaker Roman Khudyakov blasted the unified exams as an ineffective and even harmful step that led to the waste of millions of dollars in state funds. He claimed that the experimental tests held in 2003 demonstrated that the unified exam based on multiple-choice tests was completely unviable. “Our children have become dumb because of this system and sometimes commit suicide,” Khudyakov told RIA Novosti.

    In the more than 10 years of its existence, the Unified State Examination has become a standard target of criticism from Russian parliamentary opposition and traditional academics. The head of the Russian Communist Party, Gennadiy Zyuganov, said in December 2015 that the system was “preparing mediocre gray personalities with fragmented thinking, incapable to grasp global problems and form minds capable of answering the challenges of the modern era.”

    In November, the rector of Moscow State University, Viktor Sadovnichiy, said in a speech to the Russian Upper House of Parliament that the unified exam opened higher education to poorly prepared schoolchildren without any motivation. Leading institutes and universities have had to turn to various contests in the search for talented students, he added.

    Vladimir Burmatov, a representative of the parliamentary majority party United Russia and deputy head of the Lower House Education Committee, said in January that despite all problems the hasty cancellation of the unified exam could bring more harm than good. “The USE is simply a tool. Shall we ban all hammers because some people smash their fingers with them? The problem lies in the civil servants who carry out this program,” Burmatov told reporters. “Why should we change the mechanism, put the whole country head over heels and disrupt everybody? The early USE tests are just a few months away,” he added.

    Burmatov has dismissed LDPR’s bill to scrap the USE as a PR stunt.

    Russian university gets 5 stars in 5 categories of QS Stars international ratings system

    The categories are: the quality of education, internationalization, infrastructure, innovativeness and social environment
    University of Friendship of Peoples (RUDN)

    MOSCOW, May 10 /TASS/. The Russian University of Friendship of Peoples (RUDN) was the first among Russian institutions of higher education to get 5 stars in 5 categories of the QS Stars international ratings, the university’s press service said on Tuesday.

    "The Russian University of Friendship of Peoples has received 5 stars under the QS Stars International Rating System in 5 categories: the quality of education, internationalization, infrastructure, innovativeness and social environment," the press service said.

    "The entrance into the world rankings is the result of many measures taken to increase the international competitiveness of the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples, including under the "5-100" program. The QS Stars success is a convincing proof that the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples deserves to be on a par with the world’s leading universities," the University’s Rector Vladimir Filippov, the rector of the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples, said.

    QS Stars is one of the most prominent world university ratings systems (compiled by the British company Quacquarelli Symonds), which evaluates many aspects of university activities in eight categories. Ratings from 0 to 5+ is awarded to institutions of high learning dependent on the number of points accumulated in the course of comprehensive audit on more than 50 indicators reflecting the state of an educational institution.

    The ratings’ main purpose is to give an opportunity to students, parents and experts to gain the maximum diverse idea of various universities. The comprehensive analysis of institutions of high learning is carried out on the basis of independent sources; the results of opinion polls conducted among academics and professionals (including employers); a university’s perception by students and graduates.

    Demand for Russian higher education
    Education in Russia: News - Page 3 WZvbm2Z

    According to the rules of the site and the internal feeling ( "the people and the Party are one" (c)) I omit from "politics" and remains a little, but very important:

    "And if we talk essentially about the state of the education system in Russia, develops and does the opposite vision opposition picture.

    For example, comparing the current situation with your favorite Russian opposition 90-mi, you can see that in the country there is a uniform standard of teaching, regularly increasing influx of foreign students in Russian universities, and the management of higher education institutions the improvement in the quality of training of school leavers.

    Also it should be noted that in international rankings of educational systems, our country is not the last strochki.K example, according to British research firm Economist Intelligence Unit in 2014, Russia won the 8th place among the countries of Europe and the 13th - in the world, ahead of the United States, Australia, Israel, Belgium and Shveytsariyu.Ne worst position for states where the last few years the opposition hard "bury education and science."

    Ban children of Russian officials from studying abroad, says business activist

    The head of a Russian business association has proposed a ban on higher education abroad for the children of Russia’s civil servants, claiming the move would help domestic schools and also increase the number of “real patriots” in the country.
    “I hold that a ban on studying in foreign institutes and universities for children of Russian civil servants would help many people to give a new estimate to the quality of modern education in Russia,” Rakhman Yansukov, the president of the Association for Development of Business Patriotism, wrote in an address quoted by TASS.

    “I also think that the knowledge received by the officials’ children in Russian educational establishments would become a guarantee that they develop into real patriots of their country,” Yansukov added.

    The agency reported that Yansukov had sent the letter to major media outlets and also to State Duma Chairman Sergey Naryshkin and the heads of four caucuses in the Russian lower house.

    Yansukov did however allow for a number of exceptions from the ban, such as for practical training abroad for no longer than six months or lifting the ban in cases when the desired education can be only received in a foreign institution.

    In 2013, Russia introduced the law “On Civil Servants’ Foreign Assets” that banned members of parliament, senior officials, and top managers of state corporations and the Central Bank from holding accounts in foreign banks and owning securities of foreign companies. The restriction also extends to spouses and underage children.

    The initial draft of the asset ban included real estate, but MPs removed it at the debating stage, saying that many Russian officials have possessed country homes, apartments, and land in neighboring countries since Soviet times, and that making them sever these ties would be unjust.

    Several attempts were subsequently made to expand the ‘patriotic’ motion.
    In 2014, MP Evgeny Fyodorov, representing parliamentary majority party United Russia, suggested fast-tracking a bill on banning leading Russian politicians from owning foreign real estate. He claimed such a move would make the country less vulnerable to outside pressure and threats of sanctions.

    https://www.rt.com/politics/354606-activist-says-children-of-russian/


    This is absolutely necessary so children of politicians can be shielded from American brainwashing designed to make Russians turn their back against their own country

    Yo, kvs, more proof of Russian brain-drain:

    The results exceeded all expectations. One hundred schools that are rated the best in Moscow, took the leading place for readers and mathematical literacy, surpassing Singapore, Finland, the United States, the United Kingdom.

    Half of Moscow schools among the five best educational systems in the world, and absolutely all the schools of the city entered into the top ten on the results of the quality of primary school pupils. It turns out that the Russian capital is recognized as one of the world leaders in the school.

    All these lists by NATO MSM are complete and utter rubbish. They weigh university performance by subjective metrics like quality of life on campus.
    As if all students live on campus and of course by definition such metrics make Russian universities seem like some nightmare because there are not
    enough commercial venues to satisfy consumer cravings. Total BULLSHIT. The only thing that matters is the lecture hall. The reason for the whole
    activity in the first place.

    BTW, another dirty trick used by NATO MSM propagandists is to count papers published in western only journals. So if Russian researchers
    in Russian universities don't publish NATO based journals then they are basically being counted as not publishing at all. Total BULLSHIT, yet again.
    I will take a second rate Russian university over most 1st class universities in Canada and the USA any day based on my own personal experience
    as a researcher.

    BTW, the Chinese know how to play this game. I see lots of papers where the research is done by Chinese authors but they add
    a token NATO collaborator and publish in a NATO based journal. I have not seen much of this from Russian researchers. Of course,
    there are many Russian researchers working in NATO universities as is the case for Chinese as well. In fact, one has to conclude
    that NATO science is basically maintained by imported researchers. Not to say that there is no science talent in NATO, but there
    are just too many imports for them not to have a major impact on the productivity.

    BTW whats your thoughts on the survey of performance conducted on Moscow primary schools? Apparently Moscow is the top city in the world for preparing children for life intellectually speaking.

    This is a very good sign. After 1991 the education system in Russia started to slip but if the primary schools are not
    being dumbed down then the higher levels are unlikely to deteriorate to American levels.

    Russia’s Higher School of Economics breaks top 100 in 2017 Young Universities Rankings

    It is the first time in the six years of this ranking that a Russian institution has reached the top 100, the London-based Times Higher Education magazine noted

    MOSCOW, April 5. /TASS/. Russia’s Higher School of Economics (HSE) has reached the world’s top 100 young universities due to high demands placed on both the teaching staff and students since the day it was founded, HSE Academic Supervisor Yevgeny Yasin told TASS on Wednesday.

    Earlier, the London-based weekly magazine Times Higher Education (THE) released its 2017 Young University Rankings for the universities that are 50 years old or younger across 48 countries and founded in 1992. The Higher School of Economics is ranked 96th.

    "It is the first time in the six years of this ranking that a Russian institution has reached the top 100, with Higher School of Economics ranked in 96th place," the THE said.

    "Since the HSE was founded, it has been placing high demands on both teaching staff and students," Yasin said. "The best teachers, who largely come from Moscow State University to the HSE, laid the foundation and introduced high teaching standards in early 1990s. In 2000s, the HSE was one of the first Russian universities that embarked on an initiative of employing world-class teaching staff in the global labor market."

    Nowadays, the HSE leading scientists are heading pure research at 32 world laboratories and applied research on eight technological platforms, he added.

    "The world’s academic community has become aware of us. Persistent work to create the most comfortable environment for researchers has boosted the number of publications in international peer-reviewed journals and, what is more important, has ensured their high quality," he said.

    In September 2016, the HSE was listed in the THE World University Rankings, placed between the 41st and 500th rankings. The 2017 THE Young University Rankings mirror the general rankings, so in the current year the HSE was picked up and immediately performed well.

    "This year the university celebrates 25 years, so we hope we will have time to demonstrate in the coming years significant strengthening in our rankings of the world’s top 100 young universities," the HSE academic supervisor said. "We will be viewed as ‘young’ in, at least, the following 25 years."

    The 2017 THE Young Universities Ranking, which includes 200 institutions for the first time (up from 150 last year), is topped by Switzerland’s ·cole Polytechnique F·d·rale de Lausanne, for the third year in a row.

    "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Nanyang Technological University swap places from last year to claim second and third place respectively, while Pohang University of Science and Technology comes fourth, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is placed fifth, and Maastricht University sixth," the THE said.

    I would like to know is there an extreme emphasis on kids going to college in Russia like there is here in the United States? Does Russian society look down on vocational technical education like they do here in the United States? There are schools here in America that are promoting the idea of going to college in elementary school starting in kindergarten. Many pepple who graduate from college can't find jobs in there field and also are in a lot of debt that will hold them back for many years. Are Russian students in debt with student loans when they graduate from college?

    I don't know much about the topic, but as far as I know there are many public universities in Russia which are free. So it is possible for a middle-class or even poor Russian to get college degree and have no debt.

    What you describe is really more a Chinese cultural thing. There is a lot of pressure to have academic achievement. In Russia, this culture
    does not exist (to the same extent) so vocational training is not stigmatized. In fact, Soviet industrial progress was achieved by producing
    graduates in applied trades. So there are a lot of technical institutes in Russia and not just colleges and universities. A technical institute
    in Russia is like a more applied version of MIT since MIT has diversified to be more like a university.

    I guess the issue is "basket weaving" courses. The USA has a lot of this sort of fluff. The Soviet/Russian tradition and the pre-1917 Russian
    Empire tradition was more serious academic learning (German style) and trade-craft (e.g. machine milling, etc).

    I want to know is there a concern about failing public education in Russia and in other parts of Europe? Here in America, many people believe that the market would improve public education by having vouchers. Moreover, many Americans dislike public schools since they think it is a socialist/ communist idea. Is there faith in public schools in Russia and other parts of Europe?
