The new history school textbooks in the Russian Federation: 1992–2004
This article examines the ideologically‐articulated shifts, and the images of transformation, and nation‐building process presented in the new generation of school history textbooks in Russia. The article analyses the new content of post‐Soviet history textbooks used in Russian secondary schools that represent various transformations from communism to a western‐style democracy. It discusses the resultant issues of searching for a new national ide…
Educational Reform and Transformation in Russia: Why Education Reforms Fail
Education reform after 1991 in the Russia Federation was an orchestrated attack on what is now perceived as the ideologically impure Soviet system of education, with its ubiquitous centralization, a bankrupt communist ideology, and bureaucratic inefficiency. Hurried attempts were made to Westernize Russian education. These early attempts at reform reflected the lack of vision, political opportunism, crisis of identity, and, in the absence of prag…
Education and Policy: Changing Paradigms and Issues
Adult Education and Lifelong Learning: New developments in Russia
The article examines the impact of social change, transformation and globalization on adult education and lifelong learning in post-communist Russia. It begins with a brief economic and historical background to adult education, followed by an analysis of policy and curriculum changes. Current issues and trends in adult education are also discussed and a new post-hegemonic paradigm is proposed
The Moral Curriculum in the Soviet School
To understand the nature and purpose of moral education in Soviet schools, one needs to consider Marxist-Leninist reconstructionist ideology (the notion of social change in an elaborate sense-economic, political, technological, scientific and cultural), and the methods used to justify the construction of the socially desired value-system of a newly created Homo Sovieticus-a new brand of Soviet 'high-tech' humanism. To begin with, the Marxist-Leni…

It will be argued that while it is possible to move within the lower strata of social classes through secondary and tertiary education, acquisition of educational qualifications becomes progressively more difficult as one moves up the social ladder. The overall trend seems to be as follows: the peasant youth tends to en…

Recent Educational Reforms in the USSR: Their significance for policy development
The years between 1964 and 1984 could be regarded as the transitional period in Soviet education during which the school curriculum vacillated between the academic and the vocational. Various attempts to change the quality of schooling during the 1970s and 1980s indicate that education has fallen somewhat short of desired Soviet educational and political goals. In the Soviet Press there have been numerous criticisms of the existing school system.…
