How we rebuilt Soviet education and what came of it. Milkus A. B.

This book, like the entire project “Free School”, began with the call of Seryoga from Samara to the program “Parental Question”, which I lead to Radio “KP”: - Return to us Soviet education!

Such appeals have come more and more often in recent years. And at some point I decided, first of all, for myself, to figure out-how did we come to the current education system? What is she? Still advice, tough and one- or updated, modern and, how did you like to say in the 2000s, modernized? What were the reforms of the 90s and 2000s? And is it really possible to return that nostalgic Soviet school?

The answers to these questions were formulated in conversations with those who determined the educational policy of the country in different years-deputy prime ministers, their deputies, heads of Rosobrnadzor and regional education systems, famous teachers.
