Russian Education

In his Address to the Federal Assembly on January 15, 2020, the President of Russia set the task “to enable students after their second year to choose a new direction or program of study, including related professions”. Solving this problem requires transformation of the higher education system in Russia. Discussion has arisen in the educational community about the ways of this transformation. One of the possible options was the transfer of Russian education to the American Liberal Arts system. In order to verify the feasibility of using the Liberal Arts system for the training of engineers, a comparative study was carried out. As a result, it was concluded that proposals to replace the Russian system of higher education with the American Liberal Arts system for engineering education are not relevant, because the main basic goals and principles of building these systems coincide and the existing differences are due to the specifics of engineering activities.

New Millennium

In the new millennium the Indian higher education system has grown two and half times in terms of both the number of universities and the number of students. In comparison the growth in international students has been anaemic. The international students are largely from Asia and Africa. In 2012-13 40% of the students were female; 80% were studying at the under-graduate level, 18% at post-graduate level and 2% were in research. The liberal arts accounted for 30% and 70% were in professional streams, the maximum number being in medicine & health care (35%) followed by engineering & technology (23%) and management (9%).

System P

The American higher education system consists of over 4,700 institutions educating over twenty-one million students. The most striking feature of this system is its diversity. There is no “typical college.” Much of the story about the future of America’s four-year higher education institutions is found in their differences, not their similarities. Schools are public and private, large and small, elite and open enrollment, tuition dependent and well endowed, liberal arts oriented and vocational. The challenges facing America’s colleges and universities will affect the diverse parts of this system in very different ways. Generalizing about this system can be very dangerous.

Process Comparison

It is shown that the implementation process of the European higher education system in Ukraine lacks a deep understanding of the real consequences and possible perspective of this process. Comparison of European and Ukrainian levels of higher education is performed. It is stated that the degree of junior bachelor can be claimed in the wide labor market. It is proved that the degree of doctor of sciences in Ukraine does not fully correspond to the degree of habilitated doctor of sciences in Germany and other countries, and the requirements to the level of qualification exceed the EQF requirements for these scientists. It is proposed to reform the Ukrainian professional development system to assign graduates a doctorate by profession as analogy with universities and higher professional schools in the United States. . The most detailing of higher education standards should be the subject of the utmost attention from the educational community and state institutions in Ukraine. It is stipulated that the implementation of international academic mobility can contribute to the outflow of Ukrainian prospective skilled personnel abroad. It is stated that the research components of PhD-training programs should be followed by the formation of individual, non-formal, even unique programs. The laws of Ukraine do not provide for educational and research doctors of sciences training programs. It removes from the agenda the issue of doctoral studies programs in Ukraine, leaving, at the same time, high requirements for the qualification of this category of scientists that exceed the EQF requirements. It is proposed by the example of the Baltic states to grant automatically a PhD-degree to all candidates of science who so desire and who are entitled to it but former doctors of sciences to habilitate. It is suggested to continue scientific researches of Ukrainian higher education system in order to ensure effective entry into the European educational community.

<p>Higher education is considered as the part and parcel of education system. The Indian higher education system is getting better day by day. The Government of India while realizing the needs of today’s generations brought NPE 1986. To enhance the functioning of higher education, recommendation was given. Many recommendations were implemented but some areas were left behind. To fill this gape, the GOI again in 2016 brought another policy of education. The policy paid special importance to the areas where the previous policy was lacking. The policy gave much attention towards the areas where it was felt that a change is necessary. But many areas where emphasis was necessary were not mentioned. The paper analyses the recommendation of NPE 1986 and 2016 in the field of higher education. It makes a comparative study of the recommendations in various aspects of higher education.</p>

AbstractUnlike other disciplines in the social sciences, there has been relatively little attention paid to the structure of the undergraduate political science curriculum. This article reports the results of a representative survey of 200 political science programs in the United States, examining requirements for quantitative methods, research methods, and research projects. The article then compares the results for the United States with a survey of all political science programs in Australia, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The results suggest (1) that the state of undergraduate methods instruction is much weaker in the United States than indicated in previous research, (2) this pattern is repeated in other countries that emphasize broad and flexible liberal arts degrees, and finally (3) this pattern of weak methods requirements is not found in more centralized, European higher education system that emphasize depth over breadth. These countries demonstrate a consistent commitment to undergraduate training in research methods that is followed up with requirements for students to practice hands-on research. The model of weak methods requirements in the discipline is not the norm internationally, but differs depending upon the type of higher education system.

In a pandemic, the transition from the traditional system to distance learning was a salvation for education in general. However, its emergency introduction showed that for the usual traditional Russian education system using only insignificant digital learning technologies, this became a great stress both for the students and for the teachers themselves.
