researchers wanting to get familiar with the education
system of the Russian Federation and more generally for all
those involved in education and education policy. It does
not represent exhaustive information on the Russian
education system and all problems and challenges existing
there, but briefly describes its main features. The report
has the following structure. The opening chapter provides an
overview of the education system in Russia and briefly
reviews the most evident emergent trends. Chapters two
through five are devoted to description of education system
by level. The chapters are arranged by ascending order of
educational level and each chapter's present
information in a progression from the most general to the
most specific. First, data on the current state of education
system is provided. They characterize the human and
financial resources allocated to education; describe the
network of educational institutions across the country, and
show regional disparities of spending on education. Next in
each section key problems and challenges are examined; the
focus is mainly made on access to and quality of educational
services. Third, information on recent and ongoing reforms
in the education sphere addresses each subsector separately
and defines features typical for each of them. Fourth, there
is discussion of policy options and analysis of what can be
improved in the Russian education sphere. Finally, section
six is devoted to lifelong learning. First, the section
focuses on the condition of and development trends in
lifelong learning. Then it examines the state of policy,
staff training including financing and coverage, and
learning for socially deprived groups of people. The section
