The stages of education in Russia

In 1993, they introduced new levels of higher education in Russia. This reform was necessary in order to solve the problem of entering the world system.

Earlier in our country, universities engaged in the production of only graduates who studied for five to six years. At present the following stages of education have appeared:

- the first two years - incomplete higher education;

- After four or five years of study in a certain direction, the degree of "bachelor" is assigned;

- then you can enter the magistracy, which will take another two years.

But, as reality shows, there is no unified understanding of what includes degrees of education. Since in different countries a bachelor can be a graduate of a university or a holder of a scientific degree. The same confusion arises when it is necessary to clearly identify who the "master" is.

In addition, the stages of education in Russia include the fourth stage: the training of specialists. But at present it is allowed only for a number of specialties.

Let's consider in more detail the main stages of education in Russia.

The specialist studies for five years and receives a diploma of practice ("doctor", "engineer", etc.), which allows you to carry out professional activities in the chosen industry.

The bachelor gets a diploma of higher education through four (full-time) or five (correspondence) years. Then you can enter the magistracy of the competition and engage in scientific activities. But, as reality shows, only 20% of bachelors take such a decision. The master's degree is not open in every Russian university, so if you want to study in it you will need to carefully choose an educational institution.

The first two years of bachelors and specialists are the same, because at that time basic knowledge and skills are given. If you want to finish your studies, you can get a diploma of incomplete (professional) education. From the third year, the standards and plans of bachelors and specialists vary considerably.

Any innovations always require some time to get accustomed and "polish". Until now, with the separation at the level of education in Russian universities there are a lot of problems.

The most important of them is the presence of tension in the recognition of a bachelor's degree. The matter is that employers, as a rule, are not inclined to take such workers in staff. It is believed that the bachelor's degree is, firstly, an "incomplete education", and secondly, it is non-core and general professional. Unlike a specialist and a master, who are trained for a particular industry.

Moreover, the employer is not persuaded even by the law, which states that a bachelor can take a position for which, in accordance with the qualification requirements, higher education is envisaged. Reality shows the opposite. Despite the existence of such a right for a bachelor, employers prefer to employ masters and specialists.

But sooner or later, the existing problems will be gradually resolved.
