As two countries that have different cultures, economics, and politics, Russia and United Kingdom have developed their own education systems respectively, which have their differences and in certain circumstances similarities. In the paragraphs that follow, some major aspect of these will be covered. This essay will present the main structures of the education systems in both countries and will compare and contrast the two systems in terms of number of taught subjects, the structure of educational institutes and the ability to pursue higher education at the universities. I will consider both paid and free education.
Pre-higher education

The working week lasts for 5 days. The school day usually lasts from 9:00 to 15:30, with a lunch break in between. Although counterintuitive in UK paid schools are called ‘public schools’ and free are called ‘state’ schools. However for the purposes of this essay I will name schools which are paid – private, which are free - public. They take the primary school graduates with different levels of mental abilities. They were organized with the aim of creating equal opportunities for education. In grammar schools the child receives a general upper secondary education. The principle of differentiated curriculum serves as the basis of teaching at this type of schools. High School is completed by successfully passing the GCSE exams (General Certificate of Secondary Education).

Higher education
Education in Russia is provided predominantly by the state and is regulated by the Ministry of Education and Science. Regional authorities regulate education within their jurisdictions in context of the prevailing framework of federal laws. Depending on the number of areas of study, students are divided into colleges, universities, academies and institutes. University graduates may have following qualifications: bachelor, graduate, master's degree in the relevant areas of training
The Zbigniew Brzezinski defined a Soviet victory as entailing “the submissive neutralization of both Western Europe (through the dismantling of NATO) and Japan, and the withdrawal of U.S. political military presence across the oceans. Moreover, victory was also defined as attaining the worldwide economic supremacy of communism over capitalism” . Part of this view is corroborated in the infamous Long Telegram by American diplomat George F. Kennan, which, among other things, claimed that the USSR wanted to further socialism at the cost of Western capitalism. . From both sources, one can assume the terms of victory for the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and, consequently, these can be compared with the actual events of the Cold War to determine how large a defeat the Soviet Union suffered. It is indeed true that the Western capitalism emerged victorious in the end. Western Europe wasn’t “neutralised”; in fact, it was Eastern Europe that submitted to Western politics as the USSR collapsed. Similarly, by the end of the Cold War it was the USSR’s political presence - rather than the US’ - that had collapsed, leaving the US seemingly unopposed as the leading global superpower. In each of these cases, it appears that the Soviet Union suffered a total defeat far removed from any conditions of victory. However, while this paper will begin by examining these areas of defeat, it will then go on to argue that the defeat was not necessarily total. Finally, it will argue that survival and
The Russian government is creating a notable history of political and economic system changes, as well as leaders. Although the age of the Russian Empire was the beginning of the established long-lasting power, it had some fundamental faults in terms of wealth and equality of its citizens. Tsars and tsarinas had too much power to provide the necessary equilibrium of social growth and development. This problem was developed and used to convert the country into the era of socialism, which later became the communist era. Despite strong hopes of positive changes after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the current, “semi-presidential” Russian federation hasn’t gone too far from its wealth-egoist past. However, it raises the question: what
Russian Federation has a long and interesting history. Many different events the structure and development of the country. Nowadays, Russia plays one of the most important roles in our world. Russia is located at the intersection of different cultures and contains multinational population and ethno-cultural diversity. Russia is an interesting country to discuss its issues of ethnicity and religion, try to predict the future development and economics of the country. How different country’s issues such as class distinction, equity and equality, race, religion, nationalism and other political variables are solved or considered by the state at least. The main goal of this work is to show weaknesses and struggles which Russia faces on the road
The purpose of this article is to explore, persuade and compare the differences between early education systems in both Britain and Europe. This article analyses the ages that children first start school and the positive and negative effects of this in both Britain and Europe. The writer includes a very powerful image of a stressed child within a school environment and this image effectively ties in with the title and content.
The education system is an organized, purposeful structure consists of laws, policies, and regulations to regulate the education in schools and colleges in a systematic way. The education system plays a vital role in the development of the student life career and which simultaneously affects the development of the country. Every country has their own education system depending on the government. In the same way, there are lots of contrast in the education system between the US and Nepal, but the main distinctions are flexibility, technology, teaching style of the professors and education policies of the country.
Education is a key role in providing individuals with the knowledge, skills and competences, which are important to participate effectively in society and in the economy. Moreover, it believes that in such areas as health, civic participation, political interest and happiness, education can improve people’s lives. It speeds up development of nation and country. Education is also about learning skills of life. Studies, which were made by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, show that educated people live longer and take participation in politics and in the community, where they live, more actively (OECD, Better life, Index.2015). However, one of the main problem of mankind is also education and starting formal schooling. In different countries, we can notice different education system and this essay will demonstrate similarity and differences of education system between England and Australia.
Russia has formed the core of two great historical-political formations now faded away: the Tsarist Empire (until 1917) and the Soviet Union (1922-1991). Since 1991 is the political heart of the Russian Federation, which is part of the Commonwealth of Independent States. For much of its history, Russia was a backward country socially and economically, and authoritarian political point of view. In many ways it has also been - and still is - a country poised between East and West. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and until the beginning of the nineties of the 20th century its history has coincided with the parable of the rise and then the fall of Communism
Differences in Education. In order to make the society even more secure the leaders opened the doors of universities to the best and brightest that were decanted. I found that the top schools, like Eton (Huxley, 1932, p. 148), in the book were only made available to the most formidable thinkers. Such a system confirms my hypothesis that there was a vast difference in just what chances different groups had at getting an education. Simply the fact that these discrepancies exist demonstrates the power of social class in education.
The USSR, also known as the Soviet Union, was a country that was comprised of different republics such as Belorussia, Ukrainian, Russian as well as the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republics. For this reason, the Soviet Union comprised many nations among other ethnic groups among which Russia was the largest in the union (Sakwa, 2008). The two regimes of government had both similarities and differences. With respect to their differences and similarities, the aim of this paper is to compare and contrast two different governments or regimes that have existed in Russia. Also, the paper will provide an explanation of the governments fit in the definitions of the types of governments.
After comparing North America’s Education system with Finland’s, I have come to the conclusion of my own ideal education system. In my ideal education system, teachers will be a well-respected position in education whereas in North America, teachers are treated very
For the Ottoman to progress further it needed a new national mantra for legitimacy in order to earn the respects of its subjects, in addition the empire had to mold a new national ethos . As said before that if “the Empire was to survive in the modern world, it could no longer be a group of disparate communities held together by force and obedience to a ruling family; it needed a unity of consciousness, which would create an active moral link between rulers and the ruled” (Hourani 1991: 52). In this sense the old ways of cementing authority were no longer valid during the mid-nineteenth century. Another country that faced this dilemma was Russia, which ironically, was a longtime rival of the Ottoman Empire for influence in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea, yet just like the Ottoman Empire it also faced the challenges of reconciling the increasingly outdated notion of absolute monarchy to modern civic values. For Russia its answer was to turn to an ideology that would seemingly be a unifying factor for the Slavic peoples in Europe with the Czar as its head similar to that of Pan-Islam followed by Abdul-Hamid. In the Russian case it would follow three principles: Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality. This notion was formulated by the late Russian education minister Sergei Uvarov who stated these principles in an 1832 report outlining the future direction of Russian education.
It is a fact that people in different parts of the world have already experienced and realized the detrimental effects of their activities where they live. As much as people do not like to live in a dirty city, they are concerned to cut down all the forests and to poison the entire potable water. The governments of different countries together with businesses are ready to implement and fund programs to restore and preserve the environment, but the difficulty lies in the fact that different countries, like people, have different levels of understanding and implementation of these actions. Mahatma Gandhi said: “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” It is not difficult to understand, that the main geneses
From various perspectives, Britain and America were common foes of the Soviet Union. So it is truth be told simple to reply: 'Why did the USA-USSR organization together start to separate in 1945? ' As soon as the regular dangers of Hitler and Japan were uprooted, it was inescapable that the partners would drop out. Amid the war, there had been growing strains for quite a while, Stalin declined to join the United Nations; Stalin was irate that Britain and America continued deferring D-Day, trusting it was a plot to permit Germany to debilitate the Soviet Union; At the Tehran Conference (1943) Stalin and Churchill conflicted over the amount of control Stalin would have over the nations of eastern Europe.
The political culture in Russia is much different than the United States. In Russia, the citizens care less about a politician’s personal life and chaos doesn’t ensue if they don’t know how something got done. This idea is often refereed to as “closed door politics.” In the past one-hundred years, there has never been a true democratic leader in Russia. Ultimately, if Russia wants to become more democratic, the President would need to relinquish some of the power he currently
