School, Reform and Society in the New Russia

by Stephen L. Webber

The Russian school system should have an important role to play in the processes of democratization and the revival and modernization 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, economic, and social flux in Russia as a whole.
