markets. can find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report. live from moscow this is r.t. running down the latest news on the week's top stories here and the u.s. moves to hold the syrian regime accountable for violent crackdowns on protesters much like it did with colonel gadhafi just before launching air strikes over libya . and the libyan rebels a crucial setback failing to secure official recognition and khadafi cash from washington. the recent influx of refugees from the arab world breeds of mistrust

between europeans as the e.u. models on presidents and border control measures. plus russia and the world commemorate sixty six years old victory over the nazi fascist followers in ukraine tarnished the anniversary by attacking war veterans. sophie shevardnadze sat down with russia's education and science minister today for sanka and believes that the country's education system and its reform to better attempts to changing times without. and i don't listen to rush of education it's great to have you with us with the arab league used to be very proud of the soviet educational system we inherited say

that our sixth grade school student studies things that americans didn't sound study until four years into the university of slavery one of the reforms it out as what is going to change not only in the system but more importantly in the mentality. first of all we used to have a good educational system of law it was very adapted to the country we lived in a time and it had its flaws one such issue was that when the country changed completely here those who had previously received a good education failed to adapt this to god the lesson learned here is that as we reform the educational system students to adapt to change our world to succeed it must be at the heart of. why are we doing it today our country changed back in the ninety's. because at any given time people pay more or less attention if education the educational system under was considerable reforms during the soviet era as well it is worth noting though that in the 1980's when the need for reforms

was already there the experience dramatically your profound change and education was put on the back burner sort of. in the one nine hundred ninety s. when the need for change was acute lack the necessary funds the resources to implement it that's why by introducing a new law and education and getting educational institutions more freedom is the state itself withdrew from education both in terms of support and in terms of setting requirements and goals the education system. or the work on which. the weather story for educational reforms are being criticized by many. cloying state officials teachers students parents experts and their main point being that they were forms half ailed what's your response to. that little thing is is that we'll only get a proper impression of the reforms impact if they fail or not in about ten years time for me my priority is different it's important that officials teachers and

students parents are saying that today's educational system is not good enough it means it needs to be changed as for how exactly it needs to be changed here opinions vary with and we encourage and welcome all stakeholders participation in discussions we are completely open and all issues are being discussed in detail and gradually step by step we are making progress you remember how much discussion there was around the united states exams today suggests that the majority of teachers are in favor of little as are the majority of students together with their parents who already took it those opposing it have to be never had anything to do with the exam at all they've just read the press and have an impression something is wrong. a little more specifically but they were afraid of heights that the only compulsory subjects on the curriculum will be personal safety and security physical education mathematics and russia in the global world although no one really understands what that is about it's assumed to be a subject with an ideological stance when she agreed that at first glance it looks

like a very odd list of subjects but logically one wants to ask why not the russian language or not history even our prime minister said in his speech that though he laughed physical training maybe it's worthwhile to revise this list a matter of fact just what criteria did you use in defining them. because it. the first thing i'd like to say is that as of today this is nowhere near an accepted standard it is a suggestion made by one expert group we simply offered it up for public discussion just this ingestion proposes at least ten compulsory subjects on the curriculum which should also be noted that there are subjects which are not so much compulsory standardized across various curriculum systems what will the student can choose an arts. they can choose to work in industry or to follow a career in the performing arts was it would have gervase about a student should be fit and healthy therefore no matter what subjects they choose and considerable importance for themselves physical education in schools are of fundamental interest similarly. to the dangerous world we live in people must be

able to deal with emergency situations such as raise or first aid or know what to do with god forbid a terrorist attack occurs in the desert while the subject probably does not have an extensive program that is essential for everyone with every educational curriculum of course there's no doubt literature mathematics natural sciences should be compulsory depending on how a student learns their futures they have an opportunity to selectively subject this to different modules would serve many see problem solving a school based education but with a higher education they say that our higher educational institutions have fallen way behind those in developed world do you agree with. that's the problem i believe it's a global problem too the thing is that global education changes more slowly than the incredibly fast development we see in economics and the social sphere often promise of human innovation changes a rapid many fold eli and others grow disenchanted that's why as the social

incidents are on the rise it may explain growth in drug addiction because some try to deny the facts of robert change to avoid a life bringing new challenges demands and solutions we must prepare our children for that and perhaps we should start with preschool institutions and primary schools our higher education may not meet the challenges of the present but we are trying to find a solution by supporting the best institutes in the country by bringing up leaders who will reform the whole education system though we know we've at this level if we give our students more freedom to choose what to study with us along with we've got to create opportunities for them once they've made their choice if a student chooses natural sciences we have a responsibility to provide top quality education in this subject and we would like it to be the best in the world with today in some universities we provide this level of education but in others not yet against changes and reforms are needed throughout the system to really get a couple of paragraphs couple why do you want so many wealthy parents send their

children to study abroad with the same thing with students from the last one of them is excellence they receive a grant they leave the country to study abroad right i think that. we've. got every one of the situation is changing the situation is different from how it was terrifying years ago moreover many young people are returning to russia because today there are job opportunities and interesting places to live up to the past several years the average age of people working in science has been slowly going down of the number of people involved in scientific research who are younger than forty is rising this is what we dreamt of just a few years ago the young scientists who received. additional education and experience of rules are starting to come back we have to create conditions for their workers to make education science and economics more attractive for our young people so that they will stay in the country. how can that be done i remember last year young scientists natives of pressure received the noble his present as i

expect they all live abroad how can we stop the brain drain. we are making a great effort we're building laboratories raising salaries for young scientists we're inviting renowned scientists from around the world to create new laboratories in the country this process will take a long time we've lost a lot and now we're restoring it step by step we can't expect good results overnight the good we are seeing positive changes at every stage that there are negatives to and we're working on that we live in a world where we can turn to to speak about both good and i gave you several examples of our work fortunately very few people know about it is nice but we should proclaim our progress as much as we address the problem is with you. in dallas president david said that from now on russia will recognize the foreign he never said it promises about brushing credentials are not recognizing brought it really fair. it's unfair but a retaliation in this respect is not the right option we're interested in bringing

the past scientists and shooters to russia to teach our students in russian universities rather than encouraging our young people to study abroad really go see asian politicians recognition with leading american and european universities and see asians in holding these negotiations we hope to create a mutual institutional understanding of not of the state level of real interest a traditional cooperation of the third. with the best foreign universities recognised agrees awarded by our best universities and i think that this is a more effective and positive way for us to be able to provide the best scientists from around the world to russia and the best young scientists to work in a leading world setters without any problems. according to one rating our talking in a versity of moscow state university says seventy force and a world to what extent is it objective or accurate the reason. any rating is subjective and any rating is open to manipulation it can use our university heads are offended by the placing but i tell them not to pay much

attention to it of course what priorities are different but if there are many comparative quite serious we should choose those most important for us and base our reforms on why or things we set ourselves rushing another for example every rating considers a citation leaders of scientists working in a university in the bathroom in my opinion this is significant our scientists are not always enthusiastic about publishing in english the new version when i explained this in the hearts of the country's image when your best scientific work was read and cited around the world looking up professors are paid by the state and those fair responsibility to enhance its are strange through academic endeavor there is also an index of graduate success we always lose out in this respect because we simply do not know to what extent our graduates are successful difficult if we are to prepare highly sought after professionals we should at least know about their career which is a key university responsibility we are us we have specifically designed system for that and yes a better right but it also promotes the university so in my opinion if we paid more

attention to those indexes we would have a higher position in the ratings. so thank you very much for this interview. thank you. for sun this is just a parliament building in burma. but sixty six years ago it was the final target. and the last major offensive for the red on. its capture became the symbol. of the fascist city. that's the big story for nazi germany. the fall of the berlin arctic.
