What Russian School System is Like? | Russian Culture

Does anyone know if this is accurate to how it was in the 80s/90s in Russia?

Does the Russian system demand a lot of memorization?

I'm Italian and the Russian system is literally the same for us Italians too🙂

In America, I’ve kinda been in school since I was like 5, but before that we have preschool, and daycare and stuff, but anyways…
Kindergarten is for 1 year, and I was 5 when i started it.
Elementary School is 1st through 5th grade, or 6 through 10 years old.
Middle School is 6th through 8th grade (11-13)
and High School is 9th through 12th grade (14-17)
College comes after that. School in the us doesn’t all operate on this program, but thats mine 😄

Я живу примерно в 2 км от школы, но каждое утро хожу пешком (нивкоем случае не хвастаюсь)

В российских в начальных школах нет географии, истории, биологии, но вместо этого у нас есть один урок"окружающий мир"

Я не знаю как в крупных городах, но у нас пол класса пошли в школу с 6 лет

thankyou for the video its so benefitional .... can u help me to know if there is a bachelor degree in early childhood education and what do you call it in russian ? thankyou so much

Germany has the same system

Let me make a small correction.
In Russia, traditionally, 10-11 grades are not considered a high school, it is upper classes of a middle school. So, if you graduated after nine years, you have so named "unfinished middle education". After college or rather Professional Technical Studying, one have finished professional middle education and can (if wants) go to High Technical School to receive high technical education.
And if finishing the 11 grade of a moddle school, a person has "finished middle education" and can go to a University, or a High School, or Academy. Names may vary, but all those are named High Studying Foundations, as total. So it works.

One thing u kinda missed was about moving schools. We don’t move schools just because we move cities, there are many schools in our area close by that only support up to a certain point, so u have to change schools after graduating elementary school.

When I was in school usually only maybe maybe 30% went to university

We use to go to schools in the area but now it's a free for all

They usually don't mix ages.

It's been a long time since I went to school, and it seems that things have changed a bit since that time. For me, Elementary School was from grades 1-6, and you started 1st grade when you were six. Then, we had "junior high school" from the ages of about 12-13 for two years. And after that, we went to high school for four years, from about 14-18. (I know the names and the amount of time kids spend in what is now usually called "middle school, instead of of "junior high school have changed. And I believe that in some places high school is only three years, instead of four. However, what puzzles me is that you said that in the US kids go to schools far from their homes. In my experience, the school you went to--before college/university, of course--was always the one that was closest to your home--unless you attended a private school, such as a Catholic school. I've lived outside of the States for so long now that I'm not sure whether my experience is completely passé, or not!

hello
please i have a question, diffrence between
Учитель Vs Преподаватель

I am shocked how much this sounds like my education in the Netherlands. Their are some differences (college for us is like Americans for instance) but still it is fun to hear that despite the distance it is not all super different. 😃

-elementary (1-4)
--> children are divided into (mostly) three kinds of middle/ high schools: one with lower expectations, one with high expectations and one with expectations in between the other two between. (the students are judged by their grades)
-lower expectation school (5-9) usually stundents start an apprenticeship (more craftsman oriented) or switch to the middle expectation school after graduating
-middle expectation school (5-10) usually students start an apprenticeship (more business oriented) or switch to the high expectation school after graduating
-high expectation school (5-12 or 13) usually students go on to university after graduating

there are other kinds of middle/high schools, but these are the main ones

why do we germans always have to make things so complicated :/

Basic mandatory school (1-9th grade) start at age 7
High school/ A levels (3 years)
University
In Denmark🇩🇰

Thanks so much for this, Feodor. I have been wondering about this very topic. Love your videos. You are a fantastic teacher and such a joyful guy!

Now,our school education is a total disaster!Anyone can be a teacher!It would suffice to purchase a certificate or some phony courses and you are an EDUCATOR.PATHETIC!IT IS THE COLLAPSE!

Primary school from 4-12 and divided in three parts (same school though)
In the last year through a test and your performance as a whole it gets decided which level of secondary education you will follow which also has an effect on how long you stay at secondary school (the higher your level the longer you stay)
So for me secondary school is from 12-18. It's sort of divided into two parts but it generally stays the same and if you have the highest level you could choose to go university if you have a lower level you can go to a lower form of further education (which almost all people do)

In the Netherlands.

Interesting this kind of educational system!

Решила ради интереса посмотреть что о наших школах думают иностранцы

Damn ,im gonna go to russian school this year 💀😬

What a douche !!!

my dad told me that his school system when he was growing up was:

elementary [5-13] (based on conversation it seemed this was from elementary - highschool level )

options to take after elementary:
{tertiary [14-16] (vocational school)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
{primary [14-17] (comparable to university level)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mandatory service [18-19] (he said they just had to do some self dense stuff and had to pass belt tests)

secondary(graduate level)

he grew up in the 70s in soviet/communist country

In the Netherlands we have basicschool from 4 till 12 and then we have a the test

40% will go to middle school for 4 more years. 30% will go to high school for 5 years and 20% will go to VERY high school for 6 years.

Only those who did VERY high school can go to the university they will be 18 years old when starting.

Those who went to high school will go to college which isn’t a university in the Netherlands. You can’t tell your boss I did high school for 5 years and was 17 years old and then went to the university he will say in Dutch that you mean college and that it’s different, but if the interview was in Dutch he would say yeah university of applied science Because it is seen internationally as universities of applied science

I’m going to stop or else it’s going to seem like I’m being annoying. And it is befitting to ignore the 30% that goes to middle school in the Netherlands for 4 years.

Hello Fedor, always great videos!! I would really like to learn russian terms for middle, elementary school, classes, subjects, I think it would be a great addition to this video. Thank you!

i'm swedish and i feel like the russian system is similar to the swedish one in many aspects. for example, you mentioned that kids are divided into smaller classes (a, b, etc) with one over-looking teacher. that's exactly how it is in sweden too and i've always been in the "b-class" lol.

preschool up to 3
K1 - 4 yrs Elementary
K2- 5 yrs Elementary
grade 1 to grade 5 (6-10 years) Elementary
grade 6 to grade 8 (11-13 years) Junior High / Middle
grade 9 to grade 12 (14-17 years) High school SOME STUDENTS GRAD AT 18 IF THEY START SCHOOL LATE
COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY age 17+ until what ever degree that person chooses is reached.
BOSTON PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM USA

I guess we don't have history, biology or geography in elementary school, instead there is a subject called "окружающий мир" (The World Around Us) which includes all these subjects

Sorry bud I have to say rooy mama to this dislike

Teacher - Where would you like your elementary farewell party to be

At what age do Russian students go to University?

Great 👍

Russian education very bad, bro

I’m confused, what ages go to what year levels?

Primary(5-10)
High school(11-15)
Im a Brit

Thank you so much, your video was very helpful for me!

Great video. I'm a little confused though about the elementary class. You said that the elementary class is 4 years (7-10 years old) and one main teacher. Did you mean one class for 7 year olds, another for 8 year olds, and so on? Or one class for all the different ages together? Wouldn't that be a problem for the teacher with so many students at different levels of learning in the same class?
