HIGHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
The new academic year has begun. Entrance examinations are over in the 894 higher schools of this country. More than a million new students were enrolled into universities and institutes. About 60 per cent of them entered technological institutes. In the last several years the number of students in technological institutes has risen by more than one million bringing the total enrolment to over three million. This means that young people are interested in the specialties connected with new branches of science and technology. At present engineers and technical specialists constitute 40 per cent of graduates from institutes of higher learning while humanities, natural sciences and pedagogy account for 45 per cent. Today a student must assimilate large amounts of new information and it is growing all the time. Class-rooms are now equipped with TV sets, computers, video tape-recorders and other training appliances. Lectures and seminars alternate with laboratory works, discussions, research work and students' self-training. A large part of study time is devoted to basic subjects. This enables future specialists to attain greater professional knowledge and assimilate modern methods of research, advanced production technology, its organization and management. This provides a basis for the study of special subjects and the organization of practice. The present academic year is marked by expansion of new forms of technical specialization. Specialization plays a major part in planning the curricula. Usually specialization begins in the third year. The state spends large sums on higher education. About 75 per cent of students receive scholarships and 10 per cent get allowances from enterprises that sponsored their application. Education plays an important part in the life of any country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists for its future development and progress. Top priority is given to improving the standards of higher education – especially in science and technology. At the same time some institutes of
technology have developed into technical universities and devote many more hours to the humanities. The higher school today considers education not only as collection of useful facts and theories but also as the process which trains a person to analyze and interrelate various ideas as well as make decisions. Today's young people will be the specialists of tomorrow in the society with new technology. Their qualification will determine the scientific and technological progress of the country. Besides, specialists in all fields should2have a general education to supplement their specialized knowledge and enable them to use it most effectively.
