At all times, society has felt the need for literate and intelligent people, because it is they who can take on the burden of running the state. There were moments in history when there were not enough such people, since there are few nuggets, and the rest were not trained at all. Thus was invented a process called "education". Today, this term has become commonplace, as each of us studies in special institutions. Education itself is a structured process of educating a person, which is carried out in the interests of the state by instilling skills, values, ethnic characteristics, etc. The mechanism of education begins from the moment we enter school and has no end, because each of us receives new experience throughout life. The most important stage of education is admission to a higher educational institution after school. Today, a huge number of young Russian graduates cannot decide where to go after school. Everyone wants to get into prestigious universities, but no one knows whatof them wear this fashionable status. In the article below we will try to find out which institutions, universities and academies can be called truly prestigious.
How it all began
From the moment when the monks from Byzantium Cyril and Methodius created the Slavic alphabet, the process of development of education on the territory of modern Russia began.
The process of formation and development of the domestic educational mechanism has experienced many negative and positive moments.
The first include the introduction of Christianity in Russia by Vladimir the Great in 988, the scientific discoveries of great scientists (Lomonosov, Mendeleev), the reform policy of Peter I and much more. The most negative impact on education had the times of unprincipled tsarism and the Soviet dictatorship, the period of stagnation, etc.
Nevertheless, today the Russian Federation is one of the most prestigious educational centers around the world, as evidenced by the huge flow of students from many foreign countries. The domestic process of education is one of the best on the planet, since our scientists are highly valued almost everywhere. It is quite possible that Russian universities in the world rankings will also soon come out on top due to the level of education they provide.
