         Support Russian teachers and students!         

         We are forced to address this message to Officials, 
teachers of schools, colleges and universities as well as all 
other persons who could assist us, because our soviet economic 
system has crashed ( :-( or :-) ??? ),     but, unfortunately, 
the lack of spesialists experienced in market economics and the 
lack of their teaching and training system are among the reasons 
of market development braking in Ex-Soviet Republics.

         We would like to establish friendly relations, personal
and professional contacts with schools/colleges/youth organizations
which provide the initial teaching/training of specialists in the 
financial/bank sphere to use your professional and human experience.


         To move in direction of the existing world education 
systems the following information is urgently required:
- educational structure, methods and experiences of teaching
  school leavers for financial/bank professions,
- educational planning and financing, interaction of a District
  Department of Education, School Council, School Administration
  and businessmen (for public/private/religious schools),
- From an Elementary/Secondary School to a College and further:
  (list of disciplines/subjects, school/college curriculum and 
  examinations, periods of studying, degrees and ranks, etc.),
- Life at School: (grades and evaluation of educational achieve-
  ments, attendance, repetition and drop-out, problems of 
  teachers and students, life at school and at home, etc.),
- national and local criteria in public examinations, tests,
  Intelligent Qoutient evaluation, test procedures,
- Scouting (organization, documents and practice),
- adult/recurrent education,
- computers and education - experience,
- examples of original school/college documents (Certificate of 
  Secondary Education/Diploma in Finance/Accounting, Certificate
  of Educational Achievements and ?..)
- rules of comparison with foreign certificates, transfer credits
  when necessary,
- school books, manuals, instructions, periodicals, public 
  software, if possible (we had heard that the "Book Aid" Project
  exists).

         For our part, we are ready:
- to make distribution of documents and information, received,
  among all the financial/bank schools of the Russia (providing
  fast translation into Russian if necessary);
- to send abroad all known local educational information required;
- to send addresses of schools, colleges, universities, other
  known commercial and non-commercial organizations in Russia 
  (in Ex-USSR) with and w/o E-mail;
- to take part in projects concerning personal contacts of teachers
  and children, scouting, as well as financial education and using 
  computers in education.

         Let us introduce ourselves. Our college - Rostov School 
of Finance has 60-years experience of financial specialists 
teaching for the South Regions of the USSR (Russia). Now about 900 
students of the Rostov Region and North Caucasus (basically 14/19-
years-old girls) study for professions in the sphere of budgeting 
and accounting, banking and insurance, taxation and financial law.

========== By now we are the   o n l y   financial/bank school of 
the Russia having E-mail address :-( .==============
