broadcasting direct from the heart of moscow this is our teacher be glad to have you with us as we recount the week's top stories right from. the deadly of repression of demonstrators continues in syria despite government promises to end the banks while the u.s. looks ready to turn down the president assad as a legitimate thousands of civilians are fleeing the country fearing more violence has damascus and says it is ready to negotiate with the opposition. washout in washington before looking in the rubble long ways as they depart without diplomatic

science minister on the way for santa. minister of education it's great to have you with us we used to be very proud of the soviet educational system we inherited there with say that our sixth grade school student status things that american students on study until four years into the university best are one of the reforms out of what is going to change not only in the system but more importantly in the mentality that well. first of all we used to have a good educational system of what we did was very adapted to the country we lived in other times and it had its flaws one such issue was good when the country changed completely here those who had previously received

a good education fails to adopt us because of the lesson learned here is that as we reform the educational system. to adapt to change our world and it's like succeeding that must be at the heart of the. rather we're doing it today our country changed back in the ninety's both. of them i mean because at any given time people pay either more or less attention to things you cation the educational system underwent considerable reforms during the soviet era as well it is worth noting go ahead in the 1980's when the need for reforms was already there because the experience dramatic and your profound change did you put on the backburner sort of. in the one nine hundred ninety s. what we need to change was acute the state lacks the necessary funds or resources to implement it that's why by introducing a new law and education and giving educational institutions more freedom is the state itself withdrew from education both in terms of supporting and in terms of setting requirements and goals medication system. that was the work on which all

together for educational reforms are being criticised by many. cloying state officials teachers students parents experts and their main point being that they were forms half failed 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 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 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 exam at all they just read the press and have an impression something is wrong. now let's make a little more specifically but they were afraid of heights that only compulsory subjects on the curriculum of 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 at a first glance it looks like a very odd list of subjects but logically one wants to ask why not a russian language why not history even our prime minister said in his speech that physical training maybe it's worthwhile to revise this list amana try such as well criteria to 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 curricula systems the student can choose arts. they can choose to work in the the street or to follow a career in the performing arts. gervase about the student should be fit and healthy and therefore no matter what subjects they choose and considerable distance for themselves physical education and sports are of fundamental importance similarly will be duplicated in dangerous world we live in people must be able to deal with emergency situation which is greater for states or know what to do with me god forbid a terrorist attack occurs and it is probably does not have an extensive program it 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 plans their futures they have an opportunity to select from a subject list to different nodules so many see problems are 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's. the problem i believe it's a global problem to me is that globally education changes more slowly than the incredibly fast development we see in economics and the social sphere often problems of human innovation changes a rapid many fall behind others grow disenchanted that's why antisocial incidents are on the rise it may explain growth in drug addiction because some try to deny the facts of what would 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 it will 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 and if a student chooses natural sciences we have a responsibility to provide talk 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 it's not yet against changes and reforms are needed throughout the system and we need a couple why do you think so many wealthy parents send their children to study abroad the same thing with students from the rest of their families as well as they receive a grant they leave the country to study abroad i do think that is. not everyone in the situation is changing situation is different from how it was tailored to fifteen years ago moreover many young people are returning to russia because today there are job opportunity interesting places to live for the past several years the average age of people working in science has been slowly going down 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. the additional education and experience abroad 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 pressure received the nobel peace prize in physics but they all live abroad how can we stop the brain drain where 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 trees in the country this process will take a lot of time we've lost a lot and now we're restoring it step by step we can't expect a good result overnight if we are seeing positive changes at every stage but there are negatives to when we're working on that we live in a world where we can candidly speak about both good and i gave you several examples

of our work you are fortunately very few people know about him but we should retain our progress as much as we address probably sleep for three. hours personally days except that from now on russia will recognize that foreign universities promise russian credentials are not recognized brought to really fair. or no 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're negotiating qualification recognition with leading american and european universities and see a ship disabilities in holding these negotiations we hope to create a mutually situational understanding of not mistaken the real interest it usual cooperation the third. when the best foreign universities recognise degrees awarded by our best universities douche i think that this is a more effective and positive way for us to be able to provide the best young

scientists from around the world to russia and the our best young scientists to work in the leading world centers without any problems with the. people are according to one rating our top university of glasgow state university seventy four so in a world to what extent is it objective or accurate the reason. any rating is subjective and any rating is open to manipulation you can use our university heads are offended by the placing when i tell them not to pay much attention to what priorities are different from the police there are many comparative criteria we should use those most important for us and to base our reforms on the origins we set ourselves or she came in and one of them for example every rating considers a citation edict of scientists working in a university and that's in my opinion this is significant where scientists are not always enthusiastic about publishing in english the new version when i explained that this was a little freeze image when your best scientist was read and cited around the world

looking up professors are paid by the state fair responsibility for a stage through academic endeavor the result of 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 yes difficult if we are to prepare highly sought after professionals we should at least know about their career it's a key university responsibility why in the us to have specifically designed system for that at the time was right it also promotes the university so in my opinion but 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. so much there is that so much that can bury me when i see the real. what do we mean
