https://blogs.dw.com/educationblog/?p=1321 Five bloggers, five countries: In this blog, young people from Iraq, Germany, Argentina, Russia and Kenya discuss the state of education in their home countries as well as their own experiences in the school system.

I should say some things mentioned in the article could be noticed in my country. For instance, Russia is trying to meet the Bologna Process requirements – but most of professors are from the generation that is unwilling to alter – and they are not given enough information about how their course will be transformed.
As for education in general, I remember the 20th century, when lots of people in rural areas got access to schools and universities; It is great for a coutnry, of course – if you don’t forget other aspects of its development (proper economic conditions, citizens-friendly policy, simultaneous increasing standard of living)! As a result, higher education was made a fetish, with worrying consequences for the job market.
