Напишите пересказ. To study isn’t an easy thing, of course, but nowadays it’s quite necessary to be highly skilled and educated specialist. The citizens of Russia have a right to receive the education which is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Education is ensured by compulsory secondary schools, vocational schools, and higher education establishments. It is also ensured by the development of extramural and evening courses, as well as the system of state scholarships and grants.
Education in Russia is compulsory up to the 9th form inclusive. The stages of compulsory schooling are a primary education for ages 6–9, followed by a senior school for ages 10–15. If pupils of a secondary school wish to go on in higher education, they must stay at school for two more years. Primary and secondary education consists of 11 years of studying. Every school has a core curriculum of academic subjects, such as Russian, Literature, Mathematics, History, foreign languages and others. After completing this stage, pupils are awarded the Certificate of Secondary Complete General Education.
After finishing the 9th form, pupils continue studying at a vocational school which offers programs of academic subjects and a study program of training in a technical field, or a profession.
After finishing the 11th form of a secondary school, a lyceum or a gymnasium pupils can go on in higher education. All applicants must take an Entrance examination. Higher education institutions, institutes or universities, offer a 5-year program of academic subjects for undergraduates in a variety of fields, as well as a graduate course. If a student finishes a graduate course and writes a thesis, he/she receives a candidate's degree or a doctoral degree.
The system of secondary and higher education in Russia is going through a transitional period. The main objectives of the reform are to decentralize the higher education system, to develop a new financial mechanism and to give more academic freedoms to faculties and students.
If you go to school or university, you are faced with a number of exams. Basically, these exams are supposed to test your knowledge and skills. Also, they may motivate you to study harder.
In my opinion, it is really the case that exams motivate students to study harder. Firstly, exams are often a pass to a higher level of education. If you get good marks in examinations, you are admitted to further education. If you fail, you do not get the admittion. So, you make every effort to keep the right to study further. Secondly, exams are a good way to assess your learning efficiency and detect possible gaps in your knowledge. Bad marks mean that your knowledge is flawed and you need to be more disciplined and work harder to do away with the flaws.
But there are people who believe that examinations do not give real motivation to a student. They say that being a good student with excellent marks does not guarantee future prosperity.
Nevertheless, I cannot assent to the foregoing opinion, because being a good student is the beginning of being a good employee or worker who can earn a good living. Highly qualified professionals are always in great demand in any business sector.
In conclusion, exams play an important part in our life, although any exam is a kind of pain. But the saying is: no pain, no gain!
