School,Reform and Society in the New Russia Summary

School,Reform and Society in the New Russia by S. Webber

The Russian school system should have an important role to play in the process of democratisation and the revival and modernisation of the economy in that country. Is it in a position to respond to this task? In this book an analysis is conducted of the attempts to reform the Russian school system in the 1990s, setting the progress made and problems encountered by the schools against the broader context of political, economical and social flux in Russia as a whole.

School,Reform and Society in the New Russia Reviews

'It would be difficult to name other studies of either the Soviet or post-Soviet Russian education that would be equally broad in scope, and at the same time so consistently empirical and thoroughly documented...A landmark contribution to the study of postcommunist educational change.' - V. Karpov and E. Lisovskaia, University of West Michigan, for Comparative Education Review

'How well are Russia's schools doing, and how able is the teaching profession to deliver what is needed? Stephen Webber has done a remarkable job of helping us to make that judgement...It is the definitive account of this topic, and is likely to remain so for years to come.' - Professor Anthony Jones, Harvard University
