very proud of the soviet educational system when here it is say that our sixth grade school student studies things that american students on study until four years into the university after three hundred films out and what is going to change not only in the system but more importantly in the mentality. of. first of all we indeed used to have a good educational system of laws that it was very adapted to the country we lived in a lot of time with it and it had its flaws one such issue it was good when the country changed completely those who had previously received a good education fails to adopt the lesson learned here is that as we reform the educational system who teaches students to adapt to change our world to succeed him must be at the heart of the. rather we doing it today our country changed back in the ninety's. because at any given time people take into more or less attention to things u.k. should the educational system underwent considerable reforms during the soviet era

as well it is worth noting though. when needful reforms was already there the country experienced dramatic profound change and education was put on the back burner sort of still in the one nine hundred ninety s. when the need for change was acute and state lacks the necessary funds and resources to document it that's why by introducing a new law and education and giving educational institutions more freedom it is the state itself withdrew from education both in terms of support and in terms of setting requirements and goals of the education system. with work and. educational reforms are being criticized by many in. cloying state officials teachers students parents experts and their main point being that they were forms half ale what's your response to the. 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 education system is not good enough it means it needs to be changed as for how exactly it needs to be changed here opinions vary 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 we remember how much discussion there was around the united states exam today suggests that the majority of teachers are in favor of it as are the majority of students together with their parents who already took it those opposing it have typically never had anything to do with the sound at all they've just read the press and have an impression something is wrong . he must make a little more specifically because they were afraid of heights that only compulsory subjects are curriculum 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 slant point you agree that

a first glance it looks like a very odd list of subjects and quite logically one wants to ask why not in russian language or not history even our prime minister said in his speech after the he locked physical training maybe it's worthwhile to revise this list i'm going to try some facts but criteria did you use in defining them. because it's. 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 operated opera public discussion just a suggestion 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 a student can choose an arts or science they can choose to work in a destry or to follow a career in the performing arts is that with regard to survive the student should be fit and healthy and therefore no matter what subjects they choose in considerable importance for themselves physical education in schools are of fundamental interest similarly in

a complicated and dangerous world we live in people must be able to deal with emergency situations such as measure first aid or know what to do with god forbid a terrorist attack occurs and it is the subject probably does not have an extensive program it is essential for everyone with every educational curriculum of course there is no doubt literature mathematics natural sciences should be compulsory depending on how it was students times their future they have an opportunity to select and be subject to different modules would serve many see problems out in a school based education but with a higher education they say that our higher educational institutions have fallen way behind those in the developed world do you agree with. that they hear the program i believe it's a global problem too the thing is that globally education changes more slowly than the incredibly fast developments we see in economics and the social sphere often problems of human innovation changes a rapid manyfold eli and others grow disenchanted that's why anti social incidents

are on the rise and 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 as 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 that we know with at this level we give our students more freedom to choose what to study with us but 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 his novel of education but in others it is not yet against changes and reforms are needed throughout the system to really give a crap about what he thought so many welcome parents sent their children to study

the same thing with students from the rest of the families as well as they receive a grant they leave the country to study abroad right i think that is. not everyone in a situation is changing the situation is different from how it was ten or fifteen years ago moreover many young people are returning to russia because today there are job opportunities and interesting places to live for 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 kind of. we have to create conditions where they're working 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 russia received the nobel his present is

expect they all live abroad how can we stop the brain drain. we are making a great effort rebuilding of our trees raising salaries for young scientists we're inviting renowned scientists from around the world to create ula barger is in the country this process will take a long time we've lost a lot and now we're restoring it step by step and it is we can't expect good results overnight with the good we are seeing positive changes at every stage but there are negatives too and we're working on that we live in a world where we can candidly speak about both good and i give you several examples of our work you're unfortunately very few people know about him and we should for a claim our progress as much as we address probably street theater in dallas personally crazy except that from now on russia will recognize the foreign he never said it promised russian credentials are not recognized abroad it's really fair. it's unfair but a retaliation in this respect is not the right option we're interested in bringing

the best scientists and shooters to russia to teach our students in russian universities rather than encouraging our young people to study abroad we negotiating qualification recognition with leading american and european universities to see asians in holding these negotiations we hope to create a mutual institutional understanding not of the state level of real interest attritional cooperation of the third. in the best foreign universities recognise degrees awarded by our best universities and i think that this is a more effective and positive way for us to be able to write the best young scientists from around the world to russia and the our best scientists to work in the living world said to us without any problems what can the race. according to one rating our top university of moscow state university seventy four so in a world to what extent is it objective or accurate we will resume. any rating is subjective and any rating is open to manipulation it can use our

university heads are offended by that lasik but i tell them not to pay much attention to it or priorities are different from the police there are many comparative quite serious and we should use those most important for us that base our reforms on what we set ourselves or she coming in the brig sample every rating considers a citation he thinks of scientists working in a university and that's in my opinion this is significant our scientists are not always enthusiastic about publishing their new version when i explain it is in the hearts of the country's image your best scientists what is read inside the rest of the world. are professors are paid by the state and those peer responsibility to enhance its prestige 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 it's a key university responsibility we are in the us to have specifically designed system for craft and yes it was right it also promotes the university so in my

opinion but if we paid more attention to those in texas we would have a higher position in the ratings. so thank you very much for this interview. thank you. and inside the container you have. and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds there's a huge market right now for cattle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordnance. that you've got these come. unease and n.g.o.s that are basically sprung up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what to do is a code in these places they will hire local train the locals how to do the clearance let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have
