Russian educational system

The document signed in Berlin approximates to the adoption of a decision of mutual recognition of Russian and European diplomas and it will become possible to export Russian education. This step will give a powerful boost to the Russian higher school and will facilitate an increase in the quality of education in Russia and its competitiveness in the world. The idea of joining the European convention originates in the rector's association of St. Petersburg which actively cooperates with Western universities and the State Duma Committee for Education.

Russia's participation in the Bologna process will increase the mobility of students and teachers, providing them with an opportunity to change countries during their studies and university for academic purposes. The Russian higher school has the advantages of the fundamental nature of its educational programmes. To use this advantage and attract students from other countries we have to participate in the building of a common European system. All disputable issues will be resolved by an operational commission created with the Education Ministry of the Russian Federation. In the conference of education ministers of the European states - in May 2005 Russia took part as fully-fledged partner.
