Higher Education in Russia
Russia, a land of great scholars, has been a leading centre of culture, science and education in Europe for centuries. The country of Pushkin, Toistoi, Chekhov, Mendeleyev, Pavlov attracts people all over the world for education. Now Russian universities welcome international students and graduates of Russian universities are in demand in western countries.
The higher education system in Russia has a distinguished reputation in the world. The standard of the higher education in Russia is considered to be one of the best in the world with advanced and sophisticated teaching methods and scientific approaches. Russian degrees have gained global recognition.
Russian universities offer programs that meet the needs of international students. All the programs are targeted to prepare students for university graduation and successful careers in medicines. International graduates from Russian universities are now achieving their ambitions in leading clinics and companies working in the sphere of medicine all over the world.
There are 48 medical colleges spread throughout the country, which give the best qualification and skills to the students. We would like to introduce you to the most prestige establishment situated in the very heart of Russia, its capital Moscow - I.M.Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy. This educational establishment has hundred-year history and 50-year experience of training foreigners. The diplomas of this Academy are recognized by the Medical Council of India, Great Britain and other countries.
The fact that tuition fees are lower in comparison with those in other countries, and the standards of training are being maintained at the highest level and constantly approved, makes Russian institutions of higher medical education more attractive to foreign citizens and plays the major role in the matter of choice.
Knowledge and practical skills, received by students, along with the international recognition of these universities, permit their graduates to seek various opportunities in many countries.
Students going to Russia have to live among people whose manners and customs are likely to be different from theirs. While the primary object of their going abroad is to secure advanced education and training for which they leave their country and stay in a foreign land, travelling and living abroad in themselves are bound to provide valuable education and experience. Personal contacts with other people and understanding their ways of life and culture widen their mental horizon and their outlook on life generally

Schooling in England
Education in England is divided into: primary, secondary, further and higher education. Compulsory education lasts for 11 years; statutory schooling ages are between 5 and 16 years. Children are legally required to start attending school at the start of the term after their fifth birthday either on 31 August, 31 December or 31 March, however children often start earlier than this. Pupils are required to stay in school until the last Friday in June of the school year in which they reach 16 years of age. During this time children must receive full-time education that is suited to their age, ability, aptitude and special educational needs (SEN). If a child does not attend school, the local education authority (LEA) must be satisfied that other appropriate provision is available.
Most pupils transfer from primary to secondary school at age 11 years. However, a system of middle schools also exists: here pupils are transferred from primary school at either age 8 or 9 years, then onto secondary education at age 12 or 13 years. Most secondary schools in England are comprehensive; these do not operate a selective entrance system. However, in some parts of England, a grammar school system also operates whereby pupils are usually required to pass an entrance examination based on their ability.
Pupils in compulsory education follow the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum is divided into four Key Stages:
Key Stage 1: 5 to 7 years old
Key Stage 2: 7 to 11 years old
Key Stage 3: 11 to 14 years old
Key Stage 4: 14 to 16 years old
Pupils are assessed by National Curriculum tests at the end of each Key Stage:
Key Stage 1 assessments are taken at age 7
Key Stage 2 assessments are taken at age 11
Key Stage 3 assessments are taken at age 14.
Key Stage 4 is assessed by levels of achievement in National Qualifications such as GCSE.
After Key Stage 4, compulsory education ends, but students can move on to further education at schools or Further Education (FE) colleges.
