This report describes the most recent trends in schooling and education policy in the Russian Federation, and analyses the education reform initiatives under way. While supporting the overall policy trends now under way, its recommendations draw attention to particular problems and share new perspectives as well as identify ways to consolidate the ongoing reforms.
Recommendations are wide-ranging.
They concern a more systematic curriculum development accompanied by a better evaluation of the performance of the system. Various categories of teachers should cope with these changes and benefit from an enhanced professional status. Higher education should be reorganised through consolidation and co-operation. The review concludes with specific proposals to develop a human resource development policy in Poland.
